Just thinking about the universe and catalysts and paths diverging so you can learn and grow before merging again!
Eddie got buried under 40feet of mud and had to take a different route to get back to the surface (even ground)- he was buried under his trauma and couldn’t get out by going back the way he came so he had to forge a new path. Which we then saw him do through seasons 4 and 5.
Then there’s Buck climbing that crane after Eddie got shot but metaphorically speaking, he never came back down. The idea of detachment from the world - you can still see it and you’re still part of it, but you’re not actively participating in it (Which is also a metaphor for donor not dad!). It connects in really interestingly with touch points of Bucks storyline since the well - his searching for something (a way down) while we keep seeing scenes happening involving height/ high things - the train rescue, then he met Abby on a hill overlooking the city (the same metaphor)blimps, walkways collapsing, the fact we’ve been out on bucks balcony a few times even the fact we’ve seen the firefam up on the roof of the firehouse!
It’s so interesting how the two arcs are paralleling each other and counterbalancing each other at key points - starting from the well. It’s the same trigger points for them both and how Buck tried to dig to get to Eddie but couldn’t because Eddie needed to find his own way back to the ground, and how Eddie is going to try to get to Buck but won’t be able to, because Buck needs to find his own way down (by this I mean separate from Eddie as if he’s in a coma he won’t be getting down on his own in the literal sense!)
It also therefore stands to reason that the flashbacks (or coma dream for Buck) will counter balance each other as well. Eddie’s flashbacks showed him his family - the one he was building and made him realise that Buck is a central part of that and I would argue, allowed him to recognise and accept that Shannon, whilst an important relationship in his life and someone he loved, was also toxic for him and that he could put that part of his life to rest. Bucks coma dream will conversely (most likely as we don’t actually know at this point) show him what life would be like without Eddie and Chris in it (fully expecting 6x11 to be an Eddie free episode because his absence is more telling and important then his presence!) and how what he thinks he wants and what he actually wants (and is already on his way to getting) are two different things - that the fantasy childhood he’s been dreaming of wouldn’t necessarily lead him to a happy adult life - that what he has fought to build is far better.
The universe is taking matters into its own hands to get him down - it might have been happy to let Eddie take a longer route to get back to the ground, because Eddie was making progress but Buck has been stuck in the air ultimately in stasis so it’s going to be a quicker route to the ground as it just shocks (literally and metaphorically) him into action and to getting back to the ground.
We’re so close to them both being in the same place at the same time that I’m vibrating at the epic story unfolding

i cannot take marauders fandom “drama” seriously at this point. it’s truly ultimate loser behavior.
this is what we look like to the outside world and i need you guys to realize that the next time you make “x fic writer is problematic 🧵” posts on the rapidly sinking shithole that is twitter:

which oc designs of yours are you most proud of
ok i’ve been letting this marinate in the inbox because i wanted to wait until i had some images
these are stryder and kestrel and they are my pride and joy. unfortunately i am very bad at describing lore and personality
what i can tell you is that they’re a mobster couple and they do find it very attractive when the other starts murdering people

Mini avos idea: Leafstar (and her deputy i forgor his name) loses her last life to Darktail as they escape the gorge, leaving Hawkwing as acting leader. but without the whispering cave, he has to go to the lake to get his 9 lives and make his clan whole again. Probably with some cats from the other clans joining (though realistically it'd probably just be shadow and thunderclan cats. Pls thin their numbers a little).
Not only do we not get Leafstar being.... like that. But we also get Hawkstar trying to keep his cats together and could tie into his SE a bit more instead of just giving us Darktail shenanigans and whatever the fuck was going on with Pebbleshine
YEAH i totally agree that leafstar shouldve died from darktail. not only because shes been hanging on for too long but because itd raise the stakes so much and mark the end of the era that they really want the raid to be. hell, keep sharpclaws death too, have the clan at a total loss for leadership. could you imagine the stakes at that point? (edit: i may be stupid i just didn’t process the part where you say sharpclaw dies too JDJDJDJDJDJJDEJ)
if we remove the pebbleshine stuff and age up hawkwing a bit then i think hawkstar could work after like a struggle for leadership. maybe they all look to echosong at first, then waspwhisker takes over, then once theyre gone, the clan is an absolute mess, and its in that chaos that hawkwing has to grow up and prove himself. honestly id be so down

whatever i guess there’s discourse going on in the fandom abt who’s doing “fan” correctly, so ill just say i’m the only person on this earth who loves and understands anything deeply and meaningfully and everyone else is a poser. everything i say abt my faves is objectively correct and everything i say as a hater is also objectively correct. i have the best opinions and characterizations. i am the king of fandom.

RWBY fans, do we know what season the school year starts at Beacon? They are supposedly 17 when they start and we know it was fall by the time the Vytal festival started, so did the school year start in the spring? summer?
Ignoring the fact that it makes no sense for Remnant to have a Julian calendar, I understand their birthdays are:
Blake = January 19
Weiss = May 15
Yang = July 28
Ruby = October 31
Is Blake the oldest? Or does Yang’s bday wrap around the other way and she’s the oldest?
I don’t need Yang to be the oldest for flanderizing Mama Bear reasons (besides, she’s not the Mom Friend of the group despite misconceptions…Weiss is. Yang’s the Dad Friend of the group).
I am asking because Yang only being 15 months older than Ruby vs 2+ years older makes an interesting difference (1) knowing she had to step up and be the caretaker/surrogate mom growing up and (2) because it would be kinda weird if Tai got Summer pregnant like…barely six months after Yang was born / Raven left them.
