Qrow becoming a father figure to Mercury is such an underrated scenario it hurts me. Besides Qrow's personal villain being Tyrian who is tormenting Mercury as we speak, their individual narratives, albeit on opposite sides of the war, complement each-other so well.
Qrow saw no value in his life because of his semblance bringing harm to those he loved so he isolated himself in addiction and pledged unconditional loyalty to someone who lied and (to an extent) used him. Mercury had his semblance taken away from him for being "weak", which led him to reduce his personal value to strength, latching onto anyone to whom his skillset as an assassin can be useful in exchange for safety.
At least an interaction over their self hatred leading them to unhealthily follow people who gave them value and purpose, even if treated as a means to an end.
Aaah that makes sense :0 I'm not a big fan of Ironwood as this ireedeemable evil as of the end of V8, but I agree that both him and Raven make for very interesting antagonists and they have (or had since one is dead) a lot of potential <3 Raven still having room to grow is true, I hope we'll see more of her eventually ! Thanks for answering my question !
Can I ask why/how you parallel Ironwood and Raven ? (based on the ask about your favs). I'm struggling to find the equivalence, outside of the idea "Fear" that plays a significant part in both their character (mainly through PTSD for Ironwood and self-preservation/survival for Raven). Is there something else ? Have a good day ! (PS : I love your AMVs <3 )
Aw thanks!
Both Raven and Ironwood had a sort of tragic slide into sympathetic villainy. I wouldn’t forgive anything Ironwood does in Volume 8, as I wouldn’t forgive anything Raven’s done since she left her team. But their mindsets are written with such complexity and depth that you understand their compulsions to act in this way better than most other antagonists (which is why Ironwood and Raven are my favorite antagonists from a writing perspective -- Roman just takes the cake for likeability). However, Raven is superior to Ironwood in my opinion because all of this development happened before we met her; it enriches her present character and leaves room to grow, rather than her arc being about becoming the way she is.
Thanks for the ask!
Hi I miss Pyrrha :(
Seeing as the size of all these people's skull hat is very similar to King's... Who is 8 years old
It's very likely that they are simply using the characteristics they have seen the most in the titans they've killed. Titans of King's size, meaning... children. Lots of children. They've killed so much of them that a child's way of speaking has legit become a titan characteristic and a standart way of recognizing them.
😬
Take some more trauma with you
Just finished watching Edge of the World.
Fuck
Okay, time to distract myself.
First off, this dude sucks
Great, but I can't stop thinking about his description of the titans. Titans have huge appetites, desire to be monarchs, and say 'weh'.
Titans say 'weh'.
I was under the impression that King just said 'weh' because he's young and kids make weird noises all the time. But no.
This crazy ass little man is really trying to tell us that a full grown massive titan would say 'weh'.
Or possibly
GELKQGHQLFH THIS IS SO GOOD IT'S UNREAL i'm sobbing wtf TT
Everyone is so goddam talented and Ozma is so good; and Ozpin and the little Oscar at the end aaaaa
"There are approximately 1,010,300 words in the English language, but I could never string enough words together to properly express how much I -" LOVE THIS BLBLBL
Two dozen lovely artists juggled lost files, broken tablets, exam seasons and more to bring you this labor of love - a multi-artist picture music video about Ozma’s lives so far. I hope you enjoy watching as much as we all did making it!

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.
EN kaeya animation again bc.. him……

I am losing my mind
Convoys of ambulances taking the injured out of Gaza to get treated in Egypt (as agreed and coordinated between all parties) got targeted by Israeli warplanes
The convoys were in three separate parts of Gaza and all of them were targeted and bombed.
15 killed so far and tens are severely wounded.
I literally just posted a couple of hours ago about Israel deliberately targeting civilian cars fleeing the north in response to death threats and now this
Israel is literally revelling in its impunity. This is exactly what happens when cunts run around in circles when Israel's crimes are brought up. Literal massacres against medical convoys. Just like there were massacres against refugee camps and massacres in hospitals and literal schools.
Keep advocating, keep posting, talk about this and call israel what it is: a terrorist state.
