You try so hard
to play the big, bad villain
But your heart's never been in it, has it ?
please go touch grass
It's nice of you to worry about me but I can soothe your mind, I do go outside anon :D
I'm literally in an internship at the hospital every morning; I spent the whole afternoon in a park training with friends for a musical yesterday; and I'm spending some more time with friends tomorrow after my exams
My life is going quite well so I assure you there's no need to worry about my well-being currently :)
If you meant something else than go outside, I'm afraid I have no clue but I'm sure you were only worried about my very weird (french) posting schedule =) So here it is ! No need to worry
Hello everyone !
I don't know if anyone tried to guess which song was whose in my previous post here; but in any case I've figured out how to make easy gifs it seems soo I'll be putting out shippy gifs with lyrics from now on ♡
We're starting today with the babies Ruby & Oscar, let's get going with Rosegarden 💚❤️ The theme song I chose for them is Talk to me - Cavetown
For Rosegarden, I tried to focus on aspects specific to their characters and thus their ship. It came down to several things :
Ruby's struggles with sharing her problems
Oscar's comforting nature & willingness to listen
The fact that Ruby was the only character to reaffirm Oscar's personhood & lift him up in V6
The fact that Oscar is the only person who managed to get Ruby to externalize her sorrow
I imagined this song as back and forth between the two, each talking & trying to comfort the other.
A few noteworthy lyrics :
"You don't have to be a hero to save the world" "You don't have to be a prodigy to be unique" "You don't have to be anybody you can never be"
From Ruby to Oscar, these easily echoes his worries about the merge and her reassurances. When Oscar worried of being just another of Ozpin's life, when he felt like he had no inherent value & nothing to give to the group; Ruby was the one who told him that "Of course not.". Ruby likes Oscar as just Oscar, and she's grateful for his help whether Ozpin is there or not. He doesn't need to be a century-old hero or a prodigy; or anyone other than himself.
"It doesn't make you a narcissist to love yourself" "That's alright, let it out, talk to me" "Let your words release your pain"
On the other hand, Oscar is steadfast in trying to establish an honest relationship with Ruby. Countrary to many characters, even if he admires her drive & optimism, Oscar has never tried to forcefully drag it back to the surface when Ruby's feeling down. On the countrary he gave us the Dojo scene aka Ruby's only admission of trauma; and has expressed hesitance and uncertainty at some of her decisions without being accusatory. Oscar likes Ruby, struggles and all, and if she ever needs to confide, she can come to him and know that he will listen and not just try to *fix* it.
"You and I will share the weight Growing stronger day by day"
Two beans, with their special "thing" (silver eyes & wizard soul) Though Oscar was but an unexperienced boy when they met; he's grown a lot since then. Him & Ruby are clearly equal; more than she is with her own team in some ways (by virtue of being their leader). And as two people who have their own kind of "chosen one" power, they're major players & allies who can share the weight of the war against Salem, growng stronger along the way.
Overall just a comforthing & wholesome song, acknowledging that the world might be dark & rough, but there are ways to keep warm together if you only share your pain with others and listen to their love.
Piece by Piece - Kelly Clarkson
A song about the Xiao-Long & Branwen family
➸ Yang suffers from Raven's abandonment, knowing that her mother left and didn't consider her daughter important enough to *stay* for. For YEARS she knew nothing of her. And saying that Raven didn't want to want Yang seems pretty accurate.
➸ It's thanks to her father & uncle that Yang is so very aware of what love (actual love) is. It's why Yang is so different from Raven, why she cares so much and isn't impressed by Raven's attempts at "kindness". She wanted to know her mother & why she left. But after years and years wondering... the time to "come back" is long lost. Yang is far from impressed by Raven's philosophy.
➸ All in all, it's clear that if Yang is so well-adjusted most of the time it's because she had her own family, without Raven, that she could always count on. Her father who, having given up on the Hunter life, took care of his daughters & loved them as best as he could. Her uncle who, unlike his twin, chose to STAY as much as he was allowed. A credit to how fiercely Qrow loves as well, that shows how different the twins are.
➸ Raven might have abandonned Yang, but Yang isn't planning on doing the same. She'll be there for Ruby as much as possible, and she can feel safe in the knowledge that Tai & Qrow will always be there for the both of them as well.
what if during their life changing field trip toph and zuko picked up a new chill hobby
And now because I love them
Grabbing your smol brother's hand to make sure he's safe? H e l l y e s
Protective bro mode: ON
Food for your homeless brother because man this kid needs help
Calming your big brother down/making your small brother laugh to make him feel better
100% sibling conversation you can't tell me otherwise
And then ✨this moment✨
I saw this new thing going around, you can ask me if you're bored or curious 💜
If you're wondering "does she ever shut up" the answer is no I'm sorry I love sharing what I think and hearing what others feel 😭 And I constantly wanna be doing something ;;

it would b efunny if you did the "which is gayer" meme with wallace and steven from pokemon
I live to serve anon ! Enjoy your meme 👀
I did play Alpha Sapphire but I forgot these two. Their outfits rock though
And another meme for the road !
I made myself sad with this meme bc I realized that the last box is basically just characters who learnt that disagreeing lead nowhere good and they can't win :) (headcannonish in Tai's case but I just can't see Raven concede a point to anyone in a debate) *holds gently the three* You deserve better.
For clarification :
- Cinder only avoids people who disagree with her in the sense that she kills them. - Maria ain't got time to argue with people and she doesn't care.
- JRP + O are civilized and then there's Nora - RWBY all have different ways of dealing with disagreements so I guess they're balanced in that sense at least
I established the difference between "Their opinion is as valid as mine" & "I will talk to them" in that characters in the latter are firmly convinced to be right and aim to change others' mind. Whereas characters of the former category have their opinions but don't necessarily think they're more right.
Hello again everyone !
Onward with the shippy songs, I'm continuing with Blacksun !
Why ? Because, sue me I still like them, and I'm very happy with their choice song since it's a song I've rarely seen used or recognized Their theme song is Communist lovesong - Soltero
This song fits in my opinion both Blacksun as a couple, as well as their WF-related storyline from V4-V5 and it's this specificity that made me choose this song for them.
The song notably presents someone who is disillusioned with certain ideas & has been convinced that things cannot work out even if the original idea was well-meaning. It's a view that perfectly fits Blake's relationship with the White Fang during V4-V5.
As the song continues however, the singer seems to get back on his feet. Imagining this song as a back & forth between Blake and Sun, Sun alleviating Blake's sadness at the WF current's state and encouraging her to keep going, makes the song fit them especially well.
A few noteworthy lyrics :
When V4 rolls over, Blake has nearly given up on the WF & her determination at stopping their harm. The WF was a great idea, well meaning & well conceived, but got lost somewhere along the way until Blake didn't feel like she belonged with them. Faced with the attack on Beacon, the WF involvement and Yang's state, Blake isn't sure that fighting is worth the price anymore.
Sun on the other hand, is as ready to lend a hand and provide some advice as ever. He helps Blake to accept others' help & respect their choices in spite of her guilt. Guilt that he doesn't allow her to dwell in.
More than anything, and even if his timing isn't always the best, Sun knew how much the WF mattered to Blake, and kept an open eye even when she herself didn't feel up to it.
Thanks to a bit of rest, as well as Sun's steadfast attempts to help with the WF and her pent-up guilt, Blake manages to reconcile her disapproval for the WF current methods with her desire to still fight for what the WF was supposed to be. People might think that all of WF is bad & rotten, but Blake knows that to be false. And she's determined to build back up and to try again.
Blake & Sun are both Faunus and as such, even if Sun wasn't born & raised here, he's still concerned by the WF actions. Menagerie is a haven for Faunus of all kind, *their* land and Blake in particular is tied to it. All throughout V4-5; they walk their land together, Sun being particularly determined at helping Blake with her struggles.
And that's it for Blacksun ! Don't hesitate to tell me what you think. If you find my shipping + songs list, you can also ask me to do X ship next.
I think putting lyrics on gif is less time consuming for me. So I'll prob keep doing that when I can. Tell me if they gifs aren't too ugly zkffnqj
Gudnight everyone !
