I always thought Tyrian was The Scorpion who could control his nature.

Do you think Tyrian might try and make Mercury see things his way?

Hello anons!

These asks can be answered together!

To the first anon, ooooh, interesting take! Do you mind to elaborate?

Anyway, as for me, I do not think he can actually control his nature. Tbh... I would not be surprised if in the end his nature were to lead him to his death.

As for now, I would rather say that he is the Scorpion who has embraced his nature:

Tyrian: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. I want to tell you both a little secret. Your question is all wrong. "What do you want from this?" Children, please, if you're not loving what you're doing, then you're in the wrong field.

Tyrian: Do what makes you happy children... please? I'm begging you...

He does what makes him happy aka killing and hurting others. He has accepted who he is, so he does not really try to change or to become someone else.

I think this reading also fits with him foiling both Qrow and Mercury aka two characters who have trouble accepting who they are.

On one hand Qrow sees himself only as a bad omen. He thinks it is his own nature and misses how much he means for his loved ones.

On the other hand Mercury claims he is embracing his own nature:

Mercury: All my life, my father trained me to be a killer, an assassin like him. And then moments after I killed him, you two showed up looking for someone with my exact skills. Just felt like it was meant to be.

But he is actually negating his personhood:

Tyrian: All you ever learned was pain and violence, and now you're too afraid to leave it. Such a tragedy.

Which leads us to the second anon’s question.

Honestly it is too soon to say.

As for now, there has actually been an interesting dynamic between Tyrian and Mercury. To be more specific, Tyrian has actually said out loud things Mercury has been negating/repressing.

Mercury wants to see himself as a big bad man, but Tyrian strips him of this coping mechanism and states Mercury is just a victim and a scared child.

Mercury does not want to deal with the Salem destroying the world, but Tyrian appears and makes this truth impossible to escape.

At the same time, Tyrian’s body language in both occasions has been controlling and threathening. He tells Mercury the truth, but also traps him in fear more and more.

In short, their interactions are good because Tyrian’s body language negates the effect his words could have.

All in all, it seems to me as a jungian dynamic...Tyrian is acting as Mercury’s shadow in multiple ways. He is giving voice to truths Mercury deep down knows, but does not accept. At the same time, he is taking control of Mercury (he literally drags him away in War).

Until Mercury is trapped in his fear he will be Tyrian’s prisoner as well.

So, I do not know if Tyrian will consciously try to influence/groom Mercury. He seems more than anything having fun tormenting him tbh. However, it is possible Mercury will try to act more like him as a coping mechanism. After all, it is the same thing he has done with Marcus. Mercury deep down despises his father, but he is still doing what his father would have wanted him to do. At the same time, the juxtaposition with Tyrian might lead Mercury to finally accept he can’t be like him or his father, no matter how much he tries.

Anyway, it is too soon to say, there are many possibilities.

Thank you for the ask!

Reaching Out breakdown Part 1 : Luz & Amity

Last ep was AMAZING. Best ep of the S2B in my opinion, seeing as the show (so far) has suffered a bit from trying to put 2 plotlines in each episode (I don't hold it against them seeing as Disney is cutting them short), plotlines that weren't always cohesive or could appear to take time from each other. But the last one ?? *chief's kiss*

To start off : we are still left with 2 plotlines (even more we could say) but as they are all focused in the same place, the overall pacing & the episode itself is way more cohesive and it allows them time to let everyone have their spotlight & development without any frustration. There are even more plotlines than the previous ep and it is still AMAZING. Because let's review, we have :

Luz struggling with the aniversary of her dad's passing + still reeling from the ramifications of not being able to go back home

Amity trying to relate to her dad, fighting for her future and suffering the consequences of Luz's inability to reach out

Eda scheming and attempting to get informations out of the warden Wrath regarding Raine & the Day of Unity

Edric feeling useless, overshadowed & out of place compared to his siblings because of his "jack-of-all-trades" disposition that isn't highly valued by most of the witches world.

Development of Amity's family in general, through making Alador more of a character with his own failings (neglect) different from Odalia's downright abusive and controlling behaviour, and showing more of Edric & Emira's personnalities.

And all of the plotlines went together swimmingly, which I really really loved ! Like, my fav character is probably Hunter, I really liked Any Sport in a Storm, but I can't tell you how much I appreciated Reaching Out. It made me love & care soo much about Luz & Amity all over again.

Point n°1 : The Lumity, and Luz & Amity themselves, were absolutely amazing. I absolutely love these girls' relationships but was personally sorta dissatisfied with their intervention in Any Sport in a Storm... Mostly because I don't really care about the Luzura books and thus this subplot really didn't speak to me. THIS EP THOUGH ? Both of them really shined, as HUMANS with mistakes to their name.

-> Luz, for starter, is an amazing teenager. She's friendly, curious, full of energy & compassion. But it's also refreshing to let her make mistakes & be imperfect : in this episode, she wasn't. She was going through a really hard time, and inadvertently used Amity to distract herself from it even if it meant only ''pretending'' to be doing this for her & inadvertently causing her trouble in the end. The episode acknowledged it, but didn't bash Luz in any way for it. Because we as humans are a complex canvas and wonderful people can make mistakes, can hurt people. And it doesn't make them any wonderful as a package. Luz, in general, has a problem (similar to Eda) with sharing what's bothering her. It's 2 times in a row now that she's failed to share with Amity what was on her mind and brushed her off, and this time really managed to show how hurtful it can be as the other party, even if Luz doesn't have any ill will while doing this. This episode allowed Amity to be upset over Luz (however inadvertent) hurtful actions & how her tendency to run away from her emotions can come back to bite her in the back later.

Luz acknowledged what she did was wrong, that she had reasons but not excuses, she even let herself express some ugly feelings; and she genuinely apologized. She allowed herself to be weak and to share what was bothering HER, all while admitting that her way of coping wasn't healthy or fair to Amity. I loved that, not because I hate Luz but because she's a teenager, she will make mistakes as we all do, and what she did showed an incredible emotional maturity. I am only proud of her <3

-> Amity got another episode to shine again as her own person, to explore her aspirations for the future outside of her realtionship to Luz, and how she felt about her other parent. She was allowed this episode to be disappointed & upset over the turn of event, and to show how Luz's inability to share her problems was hurting her girlfriend (both mentally & in more concrete ways). At the same time, Amity showed incredible care & gentleness because these two love each other and Luz had a damn good reason to be feeling down and out of place. A concept I heard in a Cinema Therapy video is called "putting it on a shelf" : it occurs when (in any kind of relationships) both people have something they want to do or say, or both have an issue; but one of said things/issues is way more important at the present time and so you put "on hiatus" your own situation to properly take care of the other. Amity this episode made a great use of this concept, and showed herself to truly be an "Awesome Girlfriend".

Amity listening intently to Luz and dropping the judgment as soon as her girlfriend opened up, as well as taking the time to reassure her that she LISTENED, she HEARD and she definitely CARED for what she was going through was an absolutely amazing show of love; and I appreciated that so so much.

In conclusion : an incredible Lumity episode, that doesn't hesitate to tackle some very real issues with honesty but kindness. These girls are still growing, they're bound to make mistakes. But so long as they care about each other and vow to do better : they will be okay.

Part 2 with the other plotlines incoming !

As someone who is ND themself and who has friends with “bad” ND disorders, I’m gonna ask neurotypical people to do a few things.

STOP DEMONIZING NEURODIVERGENT DISORDERS LIKE DID, BPD, BD, PSYCHOSIS, ASPD, ETC.

These people are NOT monsters, they are NOT your experiments to test on, they are NOT your hobby. They are living breathing people trying to live the best they can in a neurotypical focused world.

What bothers me the most is that these people are struggling, and then they don’t feel like they can reach out for help because the minute they do, they get demonized for it.

Another thing neurotypical people need to stop doing,

STOP INFANTILIZING PEOPLE WITH ADHD AND AUTISM. We are NOT infants. We are NOT incapable. We are NOT your “soft little baby.” Or some other bullshit.

We too, are people, we are also struggling, but treating us as if we’re incapable of doing anything when we very well could be is beyond insulting.

Neurodivergent people are just that, PEOPLE. Stop treating us otherwise. We just want respect.

Seriously.

Can't relate, sopranos can choke

(for legal reasons, this is a joke, it's just an old pet peeve of mine bc I can't reach these kind of high notes even after singing lessons) (at least I don't have any problem singing the men part even if they're low)

Im surprised that my vocal range can reach most of the RWBY songs considering how high some of those notes are.

ARE THEY WRONG THOUGH

what do you think the boys are talkin about way back there

Sorry to get uneasy & extra-specific on main but I wish there was a way to block the very specific narrative that Ozma 2.0 trying to leave with his children was in any shape or form a "betrayal" or "wrong" or "sickening" or one of his faults; because I don't think Salem should be in a 3-meter radius of ANY children including hers and blaming the abuse victim for trying to take his children with him just make me very uncomfortable and I want to close the rwby feed any time I see something close to that thinking.

Look I know that up until that point she was apparently a good mom. But seeing as she basically wanted to replace humanity with her children. And the only magic-people are her, her husband & her children. And that when she saw Ozma trying to leave she immediatly attacked with no care for the girls' safety I wouldn't think she's safe anymore & I would hightail the hell out of here too. The best understanding of mom-Salem in my opinion is that she's a great mom up until things don't go her way, and then all bets are off. And I don't care whether she felt betrayed & anguished by Ozma trying to take her children when she killed them 5 min later.

SOO much to process rn but omg Gus saw Belo’s memories of Wittebro!!!

SNOWCONE - REI AMI (PART 1)

Sweeter than a mother fucking snowcone Sassy little bitch, I'm repping SOKO Cotton candy drip down to my ankles

Call your sugar daddy 'cause he blowing up my phone

I don't need his money, bitch I get it on my own

♦ ♦ ♦

I don't need to flex, oh honey they already know

Don't be mad at me 'cause they keep begging me for more

Bang it up, hang it up, pick it up, hit it up, On to the next one, give it up

And I don't say sorry, sorry I don't really want to (want to)

Honestly I agree with everything about this. Also because from what little we saw of him I think the original Ozma is more akin to a well-menaning himbo than a gentle & wise professor 👀

Finals are done, so Ozpin headcanon time!

Ozpin is one of the most eloquent and soft-spoken of all the reincarnations; and while there is more than one reason for it, this trait mostly stems from Ozpin becoming Beacon's headmaster so young.

Becoming the youngest headmaster put him in a position of power over not only the students barely younger than himself, but gave him political power with a seat on the council with people who were most likely older elected politicians. For the sake of his students- many who would view any act of authority from him with skepticism due to the small age gap- he had to learn how to present himself as someone approachable without making himself seem like a pushover to be challenged. And as a politician, Ozpin similarly had to show his own competence as a politician- to make sure the remaining council members didn't try to walk all over him- while making sure he didn't come off as too overpowering since he wasn't elected to his seat like the others were.

The answer to this was to learn how to use words to his fullest advantage. That means not only knowing the words to say, but how to say them. Ozpin quickly mastered how to use tone, body language, pitch, and other factors to help his words carry weight without them landing like an attack on others.

He also quickly learned how to use this skill guide people's thinking- which is fantastic for when he is encouraging students to think in new ways, as well as deflecting questions or conclusions from people who want to know a little too much ;P

If you're looking at this and thinking "wow, biased much ?" then yes Full bias, bias intended, they're MY fav and I get to make them fill out the Valid category 😤

I don't think anyone in the show is more qualified for Chaotic Bastard than Tyrian I like James Ironwood but for legal reasons called "whatever-happened-to-you-in-Vol8" he's going here

Ozpin is smart but also a dumbass. Qrow, Vol 7 Ep 12, need I say more ?
