Bro Arcane season 2 is wild.
Not to give spoilers, but it's all happening way too fast. XD All the episodes aren't out yet and I have yet to finish what we fave, but I really feel like this could've used at least one more season, maybe two.
Bro Arcane season 2 is wild.
Okay! Bad things are happening and I'm going to try to distract myself with some Nitpick November, so let's talk about Patch.
Patch is essentially a pit stop in Ruby and Yang's stories, it's not that big of a deal that we don't see much of it. But I think it is a bit of a missed opportunity because it would make Yang and Ruby's lives feel so much fuller if we got to see some of the place they grew up, if we got to see neighbors, the places they would spend their time, the people they've known all their lives. And maybe we don't have the time post Fall of Beacon to really see Ruby exist in that, but it would've been especially good for Yang in V4. We could've seen her and Tai in the grocery store, some older woman asking after Ruby, some twelve year old neighbor popping over the fence outside Yang's house that starts talking about the Vytal Tournament, maybe well wishers dropping off casseroles for her and Tai, an old school teacher who asks if she's heading back to combat school... Idk, I just wish that they had taken the time to establish Patch as this place Yang and Ruby can feel nostalgic for so we could get more of a feel for what their life was like.
Oh absolutely!
To actually see the place that shaped them as people, to see how they feel about it and to know what it was actually like living there!
Plus, the opportunity to show just how different their lives are after the Fall of Beacon!! The contrast of neighbors wishing Yang and Tai well or dropping off casseroles or bringing up the Vytal Tournament, all for Yang to feel so disconnected to these people now.
How annoyed she feels despite knowing none of them were there when she went through what she did. Knowing they mean well, but having your world shift so drastically you can't bring yourself to keep up the usual polite facade. The hurt of being reminded of friends lost and her sister gone and feeling stuck and lost
Finding comfort in being home and seeing people you grew up with/around, but also feeling like such a stranger to it all, and that feeling being upsetting!
Ruby as she runs off on this new quest, missing home now more than ever as it felt like a place of safety and normalcy. Worried for everyone's safety as she now feels the weight of the world on her shoulders. Unsure how to talk to anyone now, but trying her best
Heck, it's been a hot minute but if I remember correctly, Ruby and Yang both had friends before the start of the series! At least, according to some dialog from Volume 1 I think
What about seeing these friends drop by after the Fall of Beacon to see how the girls are doing? Some had to have lived on Patch, so what would that be like for Yang or Ruby to face their old/childhood friends after going to Beacon and everything that happened?

Haven't posted here in a while, but I need song recommendations. Does anyone have good Yang Xiao Long songs that remind them of her? Hopefully something either about self-confidence or something that reflects her love of her family. Thanks! <3
Really enjoying everyone's theories about the Curious Cat, and some of them are great and very possible, but it's also possible that the writers are just going to be like 'it's a magical weird cat that doesn't need to make a lick of sense.' Like I half expect them to leave the Ever After without any real answers on what the flip it is or how it works because... it's Alice In Wonderland, so it's QuirkyTM and that's all the explanation needed.
Would I be frustrated by that if it's what they went with? Yes. Would it be hilarious? Also yes.
What are your favorite sitcom series?
There's a lot of good ones!
Probably my all time favorite is the either the Office or BBC's Ghosts. I feel like the Office is actually like... A weird sort of lightning in a bottle. I've seen tons of other workplace sitcoms, but none of them are like the Office, even the ones that try really hard to be the next the Office. It's a great comedic show where every single actor is a star pulling their weight that makes great use of the 'mockumentary' angle and doesn't shy away from the ridiculous or the emotional, big, serious moments. Ghosts is just so great though. It's so much fun, and has so much heart, and I adore all the characters so much. It's a feel good show one hundred percent, with a surprising amount of nuance for a show with such over the top characters. These two are shows I'm always in the mood to watch!
I have other sitcoms I like, though! Parks and Rec is one of them, which is imo less funny than the Office, but I really like the friendship driven stuff and how the characters try to be really good people and it seems like the writers do too (whereas my least favorite thing about the Office is how characters being horrible people is sometimes brushed off and treated as quirky.) And I love the Good Place, which again, I sometimes don't find as funny, but it makes up for it in with great and thought provoking messages and some of the best story writing I've seen from... Any shows. I also really like Modern Family, which has some downsides, but is super funny and never takes itself too seriously while still maintaining sincerity.
Disclaimer: All of these shows have problematic elements; I'm not condoning anything.
Will you be posting your RWBY rewrites and other fanfics on Ao3?
Ahh, unfortunately, I'm not planning on it for the moment. If I ever did sit down to write up a RWBY rewrite, I'd think about posting it to AO3, but I'd have to weigh the pros of getting to share it with everyone with the cons of giving the anti-rwde stalkers a new place to harass me on where I haven't blocked like a thousand accounts. XD
In the meantime, most of the fanfiction I write is like... Too unpolished and long and not-keeping-continuity-ish to publish. You have no idea how many times my sisters that write with me and I will realize glaring mistakes we forgot about that we shrug off, or get done writing a scene and just 'find a linebreak' instead of ending the moment in a more thought out way, or get totally off track writing random arguments or conversations with useless information. XD That's all fine for non-published stuff, but if I did publish fanfics, I'd want to make more polished ones.
Maybe someday, though!
Have you watched/read The Promised Neverland?
Only the first season! I'm actually really perturbed by one particular dark theme involved in the show (I can't listen to Sweeney Todd without feeling sick lol,) so my sister had to watch through the entire first season to make sure it didn't get too gory or disturbing for it to be worth watching for me. But she hasn't gotten around to doing the same for season two (completely understandable because there's so much to watch, like we just got done with Kevin Can F**k himself.) So I can't chance it yet. XD
I loved all the main kid characters, though.
I'm back to thinking about Gravity Falls again lol
Rewatching RWBY is just making me even more sure of every criticism I have for this show. XD But it's also making me remember the things I like about it that made me stick with it for such a long time.
V1 had passion and sincerity and some great characterizations and ideas, but boy howdy, what a mess. The first 3 seasons do get a little overhyped and under criticized all things considered.
I thought I was done with this but a concerned friend shared this and well since they’re implying I sent them a death threat here we are because once again I don’t want anything thinking I would ever send anyone a death threat ever because I would not and do not condone this. Sending death threats is wrong. This user is being very rude but death threats do not solve anything.
That said, they are trying to imply that I sent it which is why I am here. A friend confirmed the threat was sent by someone but it was not me. I won’t post there username but it isn’t hard to find.
As far as I know none of my friends would ever send someone a death threat, if you are someone who would send one, do us both a favor and unfollow me now. I do not tolerate sending death threats to someone, it is not funny and not okay. I have received them and they are terrifying. So just don’t.
I’m sorry I don’t have fancier words to say I’m tired but I will not just sit idly by and let someone blatantly lie about me again. I do not send death threats. I do not ask anyone to send death threats for me. I do not tolerate people sending death threats full stop.
Hopefully this is the last of this mess.
Okay so I love been going back and fourth on if I should even bother debunking this bullshit, so I decided it was best to block and make my own post about it because I do not want a post implying I would do anything like declares in the above post out their without me putting out what actually happened.
I have never ever doxed anyone. I think it is not only horribly wrong to so it’s also illegal. And for good reason. Doxxing can get people seriously hurt and I would never ever think it’s okay to do that.
Now they’re also claiming this all started because he “mentioned” Ironwood. Also false. I saw their initial post in the RWDE tag claiming blacksun shippers only want a reboot to make their ship canon. I asked for proof of this and they go off the rails on me because of my username (screenshots below)
I respond calling out the absurdity of their reblog and a friend also makes their own reblog. Their initial post doesn’t mention Ironwood. My post doesn’t initially mention Ironwood, they bring it up in their reblog instead of addressing the issue of them making baseless claims without any proof of it. I call out how ridiculous it is to declare that I’m okay with anything Ironwood did in volume 8 and saying I condone any of that stuff in real life and now they’re crying that I’m about to dox them. Again they have no proof or evidence or ANYTHING to show I would dox them or anyone. They are just lying for pity points after belittling, mocking and attacking me.
And in case it is not clear no I don’t condone harassment or doxxing. Neither are okay no matter how rude a person is.
Literally people will be like "Rwde did this thing!" And then like four people will reply asking where they saw that and /or calling them out for being a jerk while they were making their baseless claim, and then they'll cry harassment.
Like no, 'rwde' isn't harassing you. XD
I am once again contemplating just abandoning the tag altogether, going somewhere new, and letting them continue to shadowbox the made up 'rwde' and 'htdm' in their head that doesn't exist. XD
The problem with liking the first three Pirates of the Carribean movies is that there is so much good in them that I get even more frustrated at the bad, and then I spend days thinking about them and all the little and big changes I would make (of the three movies and beyond) and yet I've never been able to successfully write fanfiction for it.
All the characters are just sitting there in my head and the whole thing is just begging for a fix-it and sadly I am just unequipped for that. I don't know nearly enough about piracy!
