Theory‼️‼️

Isen was raised by ocelots.

think abt it. We never see anything about his family. His hair is a yellowy orange with black parts, so he’s suspiciously ocelot colored as well. Plus, his ability is Hunter! Because he hunts prey for his family!! It’s more likely than you’d think.

Working theory is, Neither of Isen’s parents showed up to his birth. The hospital didn’t know what to do with him, so they threw him out in the woods, and mom and pop ocelot found him! He was then raised alongside his ocelot siblings. He was properly socialized with other humans at a young age, of course, because his parents would continually drop him in playgrounds where other human kids were! That’s how Isen is able to seem like a pretty normal guy. His name is actually supposed to be pronounced differently like more of a growl, but it’s easier for humans to call him “Isen”.

just- just think about it!

Does anyone know if Yang’s gauntlet is built into her prosthetic? Or is it detachable like Ember Celica was before she lost an arm? Ik the first version was made to be an exact arm with the gun mechanism installed and hidden within, but im having trouble finding any images from V7-V9 of Yang being without her weapon since they were constantly armed. I *think* some of the others had their weapons away, but it wouldn’t have been necessary for her since Ember Celica can be collapsed into a bracelet form pretty much.

Anyways, I’m asking for the unOrdinary X RWBY Isekai fic I’m writing where Yang can’t be going around with a prosthetic of such sophisticated technology so she’s gonna be wearing a nice sleek glove to cover it. Not that the tech in unO is not sophisticated, it’s just that an arm like that given the current climate of the society would draw suspicion. Also, haven’t seen any evidence of those kind of prosthetics in the story yet.

Different Circumstances by magey88

Headmaster Vaughn finds out that Blyke has been living in Isen’s room, and forces Blyke to move back in with John. With Blyke having no choice but to share his living space with John, he's constantly walking on eggshells to avoid angering Wellston's most troubled student.But, what if there's more to John than the merciless tyrant he's known for? Late-night confrontations and conversations can reveal a lot about a person. Will John and Blyke ever be able to see eye to eye? Completed, 40k words.

Chap 7:

But perhaps his actions from the other night boiled down to one fundamental fact: he was so fucking tired. To some people, hatred was second nature; it took no effort for them to remain in that state, to perpetually hold a disdain for the world.  But for John, hating was not passive. It was not something that was inherent to him. For him to hate as deeply and strongly as he did these days, it was a conscious effort, a constant struggle to deny himself any pleasures that he didn’t deserve, or couldn’t risk having. It was this kind of hatred however, that was arguably the strongest and most dangerous. It was not hating for the sake of hating. But rather, it originated from a place that once held not love, but something within that realm. An expectation, a hope —no, faith — that people were capable of being good. That if he were the one who got better — whether it was to become stronger or weaker, be more assertive or more passive — then maybe then he would finally be allowed to see what was so good about this society, and what people had to offer. But with every failure, every betrayal, all he realized was that it wasn’t just his fault that nothing was changing, but rather everyone was working together to poison any potential goodwill society could have. His disdain crept up on him, black eye bags gradually etching themselves onto his skin. And so, slowly but surely, John learned to hate. [...] Just because Blyke read one book that said everyone should be treated with dignity, and actually agreed with the message, John was supposed to now have faith in him? Be his friend? The thought made him want to laugh and scream at the same time.

Hi! I noticed you bring up fanfiction every once in a while, so do you have an ao3?

I DO

But the stuff I post here isn't actually written out and posted anywhere else, and my ao3 (posted stories) is pretty bare. Like, I only touch it to read other people's stuff at this point

Everything I do write is OC stuff though, and that's not everyone's jam

The stuff I do post here all comes from my notes for said fic ideas. They're all fleshed out enough that I can write them into proper stories. Like, the whole plot is figured out, I know where to end, character perspectives, all that jazz. I just don't write them out, since I don't have that motivation, and the stories would end up huge

I don't like posting the actual stories either. People have asked for updates on the new chapters I just put down, and I've run into a lot of copy-pasters. Even the few things I have on ao3 is having a mimic somewhere. So I otherwise keep everything to myself, or post little things here

I've been going through my past stuff lately to reorganize. It's fun. Even if they're old (some are over 5 years old), I find little gems that surprise me like these

(Unordinary; Re:Zero; BNHA)

Like- they aren't that bad. That's surprising. How old are these things???

unordinary ramble

ok so i recently got back into unordinary and i'm just a tad bit fixated on it, aka i reread all of the episodes within 3 days

first of all WHY ARE THERE BARELY ANY FICS IM GOING MENTAL

second of all i only have two coins on webtoon. i can't wait six days i'm gonna get withdrawal

onto the actual unordinary part

so in that one episode there's like the papers with remi, blyke and isen's info and stuff and there's like spots for relatives and we learn that blyke has three unnamed relatives and i believe isen has four and i AM SO CURIOUS ABOUT THAT

i know we probably won't see them anytime soon but how come we get remi and sera's siblings but not the others :( i know leilah and rei both have major importance but i think it'd be cool if we had some silly younger sibling mentions here and there

also i am OBSESSED w/ isen. like back when i first started reading i was too but i just love him sm i dont know what it is i just need more isen content so badly

ALSO IN EPISODE 39, it's said like sera meets w one of her father's business partners for an intership at NXGEN

one of her father's BUSINESS PARTNERS??? like that has to be relevant right right

(ep 305) i really hope elaine doesnt go into a villain arc :( like i get how she feels since she's just there for healing and i didnt really like her at the beginning but she's so sweet i hope she doesn't like go insane

that is all thank you tumblr

Chapters: 1/3 Fandom: unOrdinary (Webcomic) Rating: Mature Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: Arlo & Valerie (unOrdinary), Arlo/Holden (unOrdinary) Characters: Arlo (unOrdinary), Valerie (unOrdinary), Holden (unOrdinary), Elaine (unOrdinary), John Doe (unOrdinary), Many many OCs - Character Additional Tags: Angst, Character Death, Grief/Mourning, Emotional/Psychological Abuse, Past Child Abuse, You will probably love Autumn. i hope, Drug Use, more characters will be tagged!, Post-Canon, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD Summary:

Holden learns. He learns comfortably. Not with vigor and passion, not like Blyke and Remi were able to do so easily after witnessing atrocities by their own hand, next to their own hand. But he learns, and he’s good enough at not letting any discomfort show, if he ever feels that at all, because he’s good at taking facts and information as they are and analyzing his privilege that comes with it. He’s patient. Arlo thinks that’s a kindness he has never had. He works in the legal department for a reason. He’s an attorney for a reason.

And for all of his logic, his diction pried open in his mind and picked apart and glued together in two seconds, Holden still somehow has the emotional intelligence to not try and find a solution for what Arlo has been feeling. Understands that there isn’t a solution because it doesn’t exist. That despite Aunt Val’s world, there can never be one true solution to a problem no matter how much the few at the top try to squeeze it out.

The days slip by so fast, even with that knowledge.

Valerie dies. Arlo grieves.

Should a Cripple Parent a God-Tier (Unordinary Fan-fiction)

The clock switched from 1:40 to 1:41. It was early morning and John, no matter how hard he tried, couldn’t sleep.

Whenever he closed his eyes, all he could see was his classmates lying on the ground. He could see their broken bodies, the blood seeping from their heads. The images of Adrion and Claire on the ground, the turf covered in blood. He could hear them screaming, crying, begging him to stop, to just admit defeat. He could hear Adrion’s cries as John held him against a wall. He could hear Claire yelling at him, her words coated in venom as she called him a monster.

She was right.

He was a monster.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, when he did get sleep, the images were so much more real. The limbs of his dead classmates grasping at him. Shouting, crying out about how horrible he was. They screamed that he didn’t deserve this power. That he was a shit king and needed to die.

They were right of course, but he couldn’t just off himself.

So here he laid in his bed, staring at the clock as it continually switched numbers. 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to 7 to 8 to 9 and then back to zero. He watched, over and over and over. It’s what he deserved after all.

John’s eyes shifted to the book that was resting next to his digital clock. Unordinary. It was a book his dad wrote to help him cope. A book detailing a powerful figure that helped the weak. If the fact that it was dedicated to him wasn’t a big enough sign, then the god-tier protagonist definitely was. His dad was trying to tell John that he could be a hero to the rest. He could use his power for good.

His dad was wrong though. John could barely control himself without this overwhelming power. With the power, he was too unstable. John was a monster. His classmates were right, he didn’t deserve his power. It was better forgotten.

And that is exactly what John was going to do. The next morning he had promised himself that he was going to start trying to get “better”, he just wasn’t going to use his ability. It was the cause of all of his problems, so if he just didn’t use it then all of his problems would just go away.

Perfect.

The knock on the front door was not planned, however. Immediately John glanced back at his clock. Maybe he was so deep in thought that it had turned to morning. Nope, the clock showed 1:51. It had only been ten minutes and someone was knocking on the front door at 2 in the morning. What the fuck.

At first, John tried to ignore it. Whoever it was could come back at a more reasonable time. So he went back to staring at the clock. 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to- It was 1:58 and the knocking had not stopped. At this point, the teen was starting to get annoyed. Who knocks for 7 minutes. It wasn’t even a nice rhythmic knocking that one could possibly fall asleep to. No, this was the type of knocking that was akin to someone tapping their pencil. Over and over and over and over.

When the clock hit 2:05 John had enough. He didn’t care if it was just someone waiting to murder him on the other side of the front door. He just wanted it to stop. So John slowly got up from his bed and walked down the dark hall.

At first, he thought about waking his dad up but quickly thought against it. His dad had to deal with enough as it is and if it was a murderer, John would rather himself than his dad. So he quietly passed his dad’s door and made it to the front door where the knocking could still be heard.

As silently as possible, John peered through the peephole. And boy did he regret even leaving the safety of his bed.

Shit. Fuck. Oh god. Why couldn’t it have been murderers? On the other side of the door, two figures sat waiting, one still knocking on the door. And both of them John recognized from his time at the readjustment facility. The only saving grace was that Keon wasn’t there. Still, his worst nightmare was knocking at his front door at 2 in the morning and John was panicking.

Already knowing the stubbornness that the authorities held, John figured they weren’t going to leave without someone answering the door. John was also aware that he was a chicken, so quickly back-tracking, John made his way to his dad’s room and knocked on the door. He sure as hell wasn’t going to be facing them and as much as he didn’t want to bother his dad, he valued his sanity over letting his dad sleep.

He heard a small bit of movement before his dad called out. “John?” How it only took a few knocks from him to get his dad up when the authorities have been knocking for over 20 minutes, John didn’t know.

“Hey, um some people are knocking on the door. I didn’t want to answer it in case of like a murder being there or something.” He spoke softly, not wanting to alert the people at the door.

John heard a sigh from the room. “Just ignore it, they will go away eventually.”

At that point, John was really tempted to just agree and retreat back to his room, but he knew the knocking wouldn’t stop. “I don’t think they’re going to leave. They have been knocking for the past 30 minutes.”

That seemed to work as he heard more shuffling from the room. After a minute John’s dad poked his head out and listened to the knocking before sighing once more and fully exiting his room. He looked over at John. “Hey John, you don’t have to go to your room, but do you mind just staying out of the door's view? I just want to make sure you’re safe.”

Glad he could still listen in, John nodded. Although there was a part of him that really didn’t want to hear what the authorities had to say, he swiftly pushed that part down.

John watched from the hall as his dad proceeded to walk to the door, peek into the peephole, and cursed. He watched as the man quickly smoothed down his hair and opened the door. The knocking had finally stopped. “Gentleman, what can I do for you on this early morning?”

They were a bit quieter than his dad, but John made out most of it. “Good evening Mr. Doe, my name is Zander and this - are here on behalf of the authorities.”

“So which of you can tell me why you are at my door at 2 in the morning?” His dad sounded annoyed and John was just scared

Why were they here?

“-are here to inform you that your book has been - up for inspection.”

“Is that all? Because if it is, you could have sent me an email.” His dad was right. A book being inspected wasn’t that out of the ordinary. It was definitely not enough reason to show up in the middle of the night.

“If you would - minute, we would tell you. As well as your book - parenting is also being inspected. -here to take you and your son -tioning. Please corporate as we have a warrant and are not afraid to use force.” The last sentence was clearer than the rest like they wanted anyone listening to hear it as well.

He heard his dad’s breathing stop. “Yo-u can’t just take my son. And it was just a book, that is no reason to question my parenting.”

What was happening? His dad isn’t going to let them take me right? I’ve been good, right? John’s spiral into his thoughts had made him miss what was said next. The only thing on his mind was panic and him falling into hysterics followed shortly after.

He didn’t hear his dad arguing with the men that night, nor did he hear all three adults running to John’s side. The only thing he can remember from that moment was people taking his dad away. Tearing the duo apart as they tried to calm John down. He couldn’t even hear their nice calming words, only the insults towards his dad.

He could vaguely remember being dragged out of his apartment with cold hands.

There was a car at one point. Someone’s arm wrapped around him. Their freezing gesture trying to replace the warmth of his dad.

There was more dragging. An office and then a gray room. The cold hands finally left him as he stared at his hands. His hands, which looked oh so similar to his pale hands in cuffs. Flashes of the adjustment facility flickered through his head. His face felt wet.

The cold hands were back. He tried to focus on his hands but bigger hands were suddenly blocking them. He looked up, his vision was blurry.

What happened?

“-ohn. You there?.” It was the man at his door. Zander maybe?

“O-oh. Sorry.” He grabbed his hands from the other guy and wiped his face. “What’s happening?” His voice sounded quiet.

“Nothing bad I promise. I just need to ask you some questions about Unordinary and your dad. Then you can leave and go back to bed.” The guy sounded like he was talking to a 5-year-old. Like John needed to be pitied.

Maybe it was the crying that made this guy think John was anything but a monster. He wasn’t going to question it though. “Okay.”

“So you are aware this conversation is being recorded. My name is Zander and I will be questioning you on behalf of the authorities. Can you state your name for the record?” The man’s voice was stern, almost demanding.

He hesitated for a second before slowly answering. “John Doe.” He looked back down at his hands.

“Alright John, I have some questions about Unordinary.” Zander waited a minute before continuing. “Have you read the book?”

“Uh, yeah I have.” John had actually read it 6 times.

The man wrote something in his notebook. “And what were your thoughts on it?”

At that point, John was staring at him again. He had a feeling he shouldn’t answer that but did he really have a choice. “It was okay I guess.” Was he shaking? “The protagonist was cool and it was nice to see a powerful character protecting the weak.”

John heard a pencil scribbling again before hearing another question. “And being a god-tier yourself, did you have any plans to act on the book’s message?”

That’s a weird question. “Er no? I mean I don’t plan to play superhero anytime soon. I-” Why was he shaking so bad? “I don’t really have what you would call a “superhero” personality.” He awkwardly smiled like it was supposed to be a joke.

Again with writing, seriously what was this dude writing? First the knocking and now this. “Interesting,” Zander mumbled a bit more before speaking up. “So John, moving on to your dad, what is he like?”

Heh? “Um, he’s a great dad. Honestly, I feel like a burden most of the time, because here he is working so hard and then I go and screw everything up.”

The man looked disappointed with his response, like he expected it, but was still disappointed. He quickly whispered something to himself and then wrote more things down.

“Uh, if you don't mind me asking,” Zander paused and looked up at him. “What does my dad have to do with Unordinary? He really is a good parent, more than I ever deserve.” John was hoping that if he said it enough, the dude would understand and let him and his dad go.

The only thing he seemed to accomplish though was making the man even more frustrated. He pinched his nose and sighed before finally talking. “John, your dad might be okay for another cripple or low-tier, but you are neither of those. That is why we are investigating. High-tiers need to be raised a certain way because of how valuable they are to society.”

And? That doesn’t mean they can just discredit his dad. “Oh.” He stared at his hands again, too afraid to look into that man’s eyes and see more pity.

“Alright next question. Did your father teach you anything about the hierarchy and your place in it? And if he did, did he ever check back in when you discovered your ability?”

“I mean I guess. They taught it at school as well so he didn’t really have to say much. He just told me to be strong because he knew I would get bullied a lot.” Maybe the dude wouldn’t make him answer the second part of that question.

“And?”

Damnit. “Wel-well after finding out my ability-” He rushed through his words. “Yo-you know everything happened so fast and we just never really had time to sit down and you know discuss it.” John knew at that moment that this conversation wasn’t going to go his way. He was screwed.

“Did he tell you anything at all about being a high-tier or maybe try to reel you in after you lost it?”

“I mean he told me to stop being stupid with my power.” Just don’t cry, John. That's all you can do now.

“And did you listen?”

“no.”

The man let out another heavy sigh. “And I’m guessing he didn’t help you readjust after your time in the facility either.”

“He just left me alone mostly, but he did that on my request,” John spoke up more confidently now. He had to try, for his dad. “I just needed to think and he respected that. Plus I-I planned to hang out with him tomorrow. I have been really wanting to discuss the-” John trailed off after realizing what he was about to say.

He couldn’t admit that he wanted to chat with his dad about the book that had landed them in this situation in the first place. It seemed Zander wasn’t having any of it though.

“John, what exactly did you want to discuss with your dad tomorrow? Was it the book?”

“I mean-” He paused, his hands seemed very interesting at that moment. “I don’t know. It was just an idea.”

He could feel the cold stare. “John, I need a clear answer. You know, Keon is sitting in the room next door. I bet he would love to check up on you.”

No, he wouldn’t. This man did not just say that. John froze, he couldn’t deal with Keon. Not again. It was too soon. “I-I.” He tried to calm his breathing, but it wasn’t working. “I wanted to discuss Unordinary with my dad. I just thought it was a cool book.” He had never sounded so defeated.

His dad gave him the world and this is what he does. He goes and screws up his interrogation. DAMNIT.

“Of course you did.” He heard the man but John didn’t look up, he didn’t want to see the pity, the disappointment. He couldn’t handle it. “I really tried to put my bias for cripples aside. I guess they are all just pitiful excuses disguised as humans. Well-” John heard a book close. “I have everything I need from you. I apologize for taking up your morning John.”

The man got up to leave but before he got too far away, John grabbed his sleeve. “Wait!” Zander looked back. “What is going to happen to my dad? What’s going to happen to me?” At this point, John's voice was nothing more than a whisper.

The man turned his head to look back at him. “Sorry kid, but your dad’s not going to be your dad much longer.” With that, he ripped his arm away and walked out.

John looked down at his hands for the 5th time that morning.

And he cried.

John and Seraphina are the heirs to their respective families. The both of them, the future rulers of their species. Three years before they reach adulthood, they attend Wellston University to learn more of life outside their clans and to study whatever they desire, whilst building a rapport with those that will one day serve them; however, their time there will be far from peaceful when they catch wind of hunters preparing to descend on campus to investigate the supernatural activity that has not gone undetected. Old and new foes slither out of the woodworks to rain hell upon the pair of best friends.

Or

With their full faith placed in each other, John and Sera begin a struggle against the forces that seek to tear them apart, whilst struggling with the inner demons created from their bloody pasts.

Finally, I’m posting the first chapter of the fic I’m writing with a close mate! This is for unOrdinary. Give it a read if you’re interested!

Literally insane to me how small the general webtoon fandom is outside of the webtoon app itself (and maybe reddit??)

I've talked to multiple people irl who LOVE reading webtoon, but the online community is borderline threadbare ! Most people on Tumblr have no IDEA who our blorbos are! I've checked tags for some fairly popular webtoon and it was like visiting that Tatooine town in the Mandalorian where there are 5 citizens total, but only if you also count the Mayor, the sheriff, and the deputy.

Lore Olympus is the most popular webtoon and has under 2,000 fics on AO3. Lookism has roughly 1,000. Unordinary, THEE legacy webtoon, only has 600, and it's been running for almost 7 years now. It has nearly 6M subscribers and still gets 50K+ likes each week. It's not dead by any means.

I guess it doesn't help that each webtoon is its own micro ecosystem and once a webtoon ends, that ecosystem typically fades with it. But webtoons can go on runs longer than most shows on streaming services, and those fandoms burn hot and bright even if only for the first month of a new season drop.

By comparison, webtoon fans are largely casual about their enthusiasm, even if they're highly invested in the story or characters. From my experience, only the most passionate try to connect with other fans online. But when you're passionate about one webtoon, I suppose it's hard to show constant excitement about the 20+ other stories one might keep up with. Still, between the 85 million monthly readers, you'd think each major webtoon would at least have a dedicated fan base (meaning people who regularly post theories, thoughts, fics, and fanart) of mere thousands outside of the app.

One exception for this is that Batman webtoon? It actually trends on Tumblr every now and again. But it doesn't count, because Batman has a built in fandom who'll eat up and yell in the streets about any content where he's a decent dad.

People who read romance webtoon all tend to read the same comics, and actively understand the references to other popular romance comics (Trashta, Team Seojun, SLS), so you'd think there'd be a greater sense of unity. More people actively searching out others to discuss with and posting their thoughts online and not just in that webtoon's comment section.

I mean, C'MON girls!!! Millions of people log into that app like everyday!!! WHERE is the community?? WHERE is the fanart?? WHERE is the fanfic?? WHY does Odd Girl Out only have 7 fanfics?? WHY are there like 2 people on Twitter posting about Weak Hero?? Head in hands fr
