I’m Deep In Clone Shiro Theory Rn, But I Want Him To Be Happy And Loved If He Is Real. Shiro Never

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

Be very aware of how you feel. If a movie doesn’t make you feel good, don’t continue watching it. If someone’s blog used to make you feel good but doesn’t anymore, don’t continue looking at it. Keep redirecting your focus to what feels good. It’s important.

This was my full “The Pride” zine piece for @thevoltronzine :3

daydreaming is often a coping mechanism for people who are often lonely or don’t receive a good amount of love in their life, so they make people inside their heads that will love them so they can feel the right amount of love.

storyteller

sometimes I forget that I'm just a teenager writing a webcomic in my spare time, so I shouldn't hold myself to the same standards as, say, a feature film with an entire team of professional writers, or Hiromu Arakawa. Writing flawed stories is okay, and even necessary in order to write better ones :)

(if you want to read aforementioned amateur webcomic...)

Punished: A Ruby vs. Tyrion Analysis

So I loved the latest RWBY episode, but I’m surprised that people are ragging on Ruby to the extent they are for joining the fight, like: 

She’s a kid. They’re all kids, but Ruby is two years younger. People are pretty impulsive at that age. 

That being said, this is very much her characterization. Jaune, for all his improvement, couldn’t hope to stand up to Tyrion, so given the chance he’ll step back and let an experienced Hunter take the lead. Ren is very cautious and logical - same there. And Nora, despite her eagerness, tends to both stick by Ren and won’t pick a fight if others don’t want her to (think back to her offer to break Cardin’s legs. Despite how ‘impulsive’ and ‘violent’ she is, she leaves him be once she knows Jaune doesn’t want that). Ruby though? She’s ALL ABOUT fighting the good fight no matter what. It’s one of the first lines in the whole series - she’s a “simple soul,” she wants to become a Huntress because she was taught to “help people,” and that drive is reinforced strongly on their mission with Oobleck. Ruby is the only one who isn’t questioned about her choice to be a Huntress because she’s the only one who fights without true, ulterior motives. It’s not in her to stay on the sidelines. 

However, she’s VERY strategic here. Qrow tells her not to get closer… so she doesn’t, at least not at first. She gains high ground to use her gun and the only reason she gets closer is because her aim can’t keep up with their speed. Ruby is a Huntress - by necessity now if nothing else - and she obeyed her more experienced teammate’s orders, though when those orders proved to not be enough, she made the decision to take further action. 

“This is my fight too!” It IS. Thank you, Ruby. She was just informed that she has some sort of rare, unfathomable power… without anyone really explaining to her what that means. She knows now that she has an important role to play in this war. She knows some queen named Salem is after her in-particular. Hell, she went to a school (again, two years early) specifically designed to teach her to fight. Ruby reminds me of Harry Potter in that she’s getting mixed signals right and left. Fight, they say, but also stay safe. Do your part, but wait until some perfect, magical moment… but no, we won’t tell you when that is. It doesn’t help that, also like Harry, the adults in her life are torn between loving her as a child (Qrow) and needing her to be a weapon (Ozpin). They can’t expect Ruby to play both roles. 

Most importantly, she just watched two close friends die. For Penny and Pyrrha both Ruby couldn’t get there in time. She was so close to them and she still couldn’t get there. Now her uncle, like them, is literally right in front of her, potentially losing this fight (he did lose his weapon, was pulled down into the house, etc.) and people expect Ruby to just watch again? She can’t. She literally can’t. Even Ren (our logical one) held Jaune back when he tried to stop Ruby. He gets that she can’t stand on the sidelines. She couldn’t before and she sure as hell can’t now. 

There’s even more I can say: like the fact that Ruby and Qrow were fighting so well in tandem - Qrow blocking Tyrion’s strikes at Ruby doesn’t make her a hinderance. As we’ve seen, protecting your teammates is incredibly common and it makes sense that they would fight well/potentially better as a team since Qrow was the one who trained her. Or the fact that the distraction wasn’t Ruby’s fault at all, an accident - if anything Qrow was the one who de-stabilized the house by baiting Tyrion onto the rotten parts of the roof. The fact that fighting together is what allowed them beat Tyrion, and it’s amazing that after everything mentioned in point 5, Ruby was able to keep her cool after seeing Qrow injured and still get a critical strike in at Tyrion. That takes a huge amount of control in battle. It takes maturity. 

For me this fight was pretty damn perfect, a way of showing us Ruby’s personality and her growth. I get that the fandom adores Qrow (god knows I do too), but reducing that fight to “omg Ruby got him injured” really takes away from the incredible amount of detail Rooster Teeth has given us. 

But yeah. That’s my piece. Happy holidays! ;) 

Look

I know some people might not care about this. I know some people think this is to complicated. And I know some people think this won’t affect them. But here’s the thing, IT WILL definantly effect you no matter where you live. It will effect you tumblr user, you reddit users, and you watching youtube.

If this law gets passed then it’s gonna inspire the rest of the world. It was just like how in the USA.

The video is barley sixteen minutes and less if you skip ahead.
