Cyrus: god of childhood

fan art of dreamworks moon boy (since Dreamworks won't give me anything about him)

Dreamwork’s moon boy, (since l'm a Greek mythology fan I made him a Greek god).

Meet Cyrus, son of the moon titan Selene and Endymion.

There is a huge difference between those ‘virtues’ and how they appear in the DK. I firmly believe that everyone (shitennou, senshi, U/M) are all different from their SilMil incarnations, at least somewhat. Just environmental changes, like how they’re all raised would have a huge impact.

However, another thing I’ve always thought is that the -ites are titles they inherent. Like the girls have their senshi selves, the boys have their shitennou selves. 

So what if they are chosen to be guardians, chosen for these titles?

Like perhaps growing up J was naturally brash and foolhardy. Then he is chosen to be a shitennou, take up the title of Jadeite and he must learn patience and curb his natural inclinations. He must work to become better to honor this title.

What if N was more of a warrior, he’s smart yes, and spiritual, but he’s also known for his brawn… and perhaps he has a temper. With his new title as Nephrite he must learn to be calmer, to think first and act later. To be a kind big brother to his fellow shitennou, to Endymion.

Then Z, who was a flirt and maybe had a nasty streak. He can be vicious when the time calls for it, and perhaps he holds a grudge. But now as Zoisite he has to work against that, he has to douse himself in water and repent. Instead of causing harm, he must fix it…. heal it.

👀👀 Um hello????? Love love ☕️💅

Weiss was a bit of a horse girl (read: a professional equestrian) before she became friends with Team RWBY, with her having a white mare named Majesty, and with riding being the only thing she actually liked despite Jackass- I mean Jacques’ control freak tendencies.

"And THIS is Majesty, my personal horse." Weiss explained before giving a content sigh. For some reason, she decided lunch would be the perfect time to introduce her horses waiting at home in Atlas. "Oh, how I miss him~. Frostlandic, 11 hands; truly a champion among champion horses."

"How much is 11 hands?"

"A hand is four inches." Blake answered. "So multiply four times eleven."

"Um..." Ruby never was good at math. She started counting on her fingers. "Four... Eight... Uh, twelve-"

"Forty-four, Rubes." Yang finished for her before taking a handful of crinkle cut fries from her sister's tray. A simple trade, albeit one not agreed upon. "Fuh tums tn uz fuddy. Ud fuh."

"At least chew and swallow before you answer!" Weiss snapped, foisting her photo album away from the lunch table. "And yes, in layman's terms, Majesty is forty-four inches. He may not be the largest of his kin, but he makes up for his... unique trait with vigor and spirit~!" Weiss finished with exactly that after finding a slight struggle to find a substitute for 'dimunitive size' and 'disability'. "Majesty has championed every competition he's entered and has sired no less than four foals."

"Uh..." Ruby blinked.

"He's 3 and a half feet tall and he's made four baby horses."

"Wow! Can we see the babies~?!"

"Unfortunately, no. My father insists on withholding foal photos due to his part in selecting Majesty's broodmares. However, I do have baby pictures."

"Ooh~! Can we see~?!"

"Behold, cuteness incarnate~!"

The images presented on the page delighted all. I mean, who didn't love baby animals? Ruby cooed at the recently born foal next to his mother, who was not quite as white as her child but still held enough for her to see a resemblance. Blake noticed the name shifted as Majesty aged from his initial barn name of Snowflake. Yang peered over, though Weiss was cautious of the crumb-covered fingers dancing from greasy hand.

"Huh... That's a pretty neat horse, Weiss." Yang replied, finally choking down her stolen order of fries. "Not as nice lookin' as mine, but still, respect."

"Yes, well, I wouldn't expect a knuckle dragging brute like yourself to understand the finer qualities of the equestrian lifestyle. However, I will agree that Majesty is a 'neat horse', especially as a champion breed and- AS WHAT NOW?!"

--------------------------------------------------

The beast snorted as it pulled the plow across the yard. Taiyang set the pitcher of lemonade in the center of the ring of plastic cups, which Weiss poured herself a drink into as she glanced between Yang and her monster of a work horse. Even for a horse, the blond proved to be more massive than her breed. Eighteen hands tall and likely more than a full ton, the 'acquired' gift from the Branwen Bandit tribe had proven to be an invaluable asset to the miniature orchard produced at the Rose-Xiao Long homestead.

"Guess Yang wants to show off now." Ruby mentioned as Yang removed the yoke and pulled on the reins to guide her horse from the field. Like a practiced equestrian, the blonde hopped up and onto the back of her beloved titan, bareback riding him around his stable a few times before hopping off and guiding him into his home. "Dad said it took a couple weeks to build the house."

"Would have been faster if I had some help." Her father teased, making Ruby flush. He chuckled. "And not just you. Your uncle always seemed to have something going on when I asked."

"Where... did he come from again?"

"Yang's mother recently got her hands on some horses. She didn't know what to do with this one, so she brought her here. Something about no stable wanting to take it because of the extra paperwork."

"Well, obviously, there'd be extra paperwork." Weiss answered, having finished her drink. "There's only so many of that breed left in Remnant."

"It's rare?" Blake asked.

"Exceedingly rare." Weiss locked eyes on the giant. "That is a Flourish Draught. There's only maybe a handful in the world."

"Well, in any case, Porridge makes for a big help with my garden project."

"She's a bit overweight, though." Weiss added. "What does she eat?"

"Ruby feeds her a bag of sugar cubes whenever she visits."

"RUBY!" Weiss snapped to her partner.

"She kept stealing my coffee sugar! I needed to keep her away somehow!"

"Ugh..." She rolled her eyes before rubbing her eyelids. "There's only one way to resolve this. To ensure the longevity of... What was her name again?"

"Porridge." Yang said, walking up to the table.

Weiss stared with half-lidded eyes. "Porridge?"

"Her hair looks like porridge."

"Uh... huh- Anyways, we need to get Porridge into shape if we're going to be preserve her breed and ensure she lives a long and healthy life on your... farm?"

"Eh, not really a farm, but she does help around." Taiyang answered.

"Well, it's going to be after I call in a favor." Weiss whipped out her scroll.

"From who?"

"My father." Weiss typed on the screen, giving a grin at the prospect. "Time for you all to meet Majesty~."

Yang decides to show Team RWBY something that she recently… “acquired” from a Branwen Tribe convoy; an 18-hand draft horse she named Goldilocks. Weiss, as an upper-class equestrian herself, is absolutely ecstatic to see someone else besides her appreciate working with horses.

Horse facts~!

Icelandic Horse - Majesty ; 11-hands, champion breed, snappy, beautifully graceful while gracefully beautiful, loves being doted on, insists on racing anything.

Flemish Draught / Flamand - Porridge ; 18-hands, endangered breed, volatile, hard worker but takes coaxing to get to work, loves sugar from Ruby's coffee.

-The evil force that causes so much trouble in the series, Chaos (for simplicity), was original just an opposite reaction to the Galaxy Cauldron; one is for beginnings/rebirth, the other consumes/destroys. However, specific individuals through the universe tried to use the power of Chaos for their own purposes, and in doing so, started to give Chaos a "sense of self". It grew an awareness, and the basic nature to consume/destroy became more of a desire or goal, and Chaos started to manifest in physical forms

-As Chaos moved through the universe, it would devour entire worlds, sucking up all the life. Sometimes, the Guardians of these worlds could still be reborn if their Starseeds were strong, but if the royal family that held the magic jewel of that planet was completely absorbed by Chaos, nobody else on the planet would be revived. Several "ruined worlds" with only one Guardian were the result, and this was what happened to Sailor Galaxia (originally, she had the name of her planet, but it has been so long, her first life has been forgotten, and she only has hateful memories of being alone, thus working to re-make herself as Galaxia)

-When Chaos reached the solar system ruled by the Moon Kingdom, it was finally pushed back... briefly. It still manifested in some form (the sun spots, and the beginning of Metalia). It took Sailor Saturn and the power of the Silver Crystal to defeat Chaos, and while the planets all "died" in the process, because Chaos had not absorbed Princess Serenity, she and the others were able to be reborn on Earth

-Most of the Princesses/Guardians were reborn around the same time on Earth (when they would need to awaken their powers and fight new forms of Chaos), but all the people from the other planets have had new lives on Earth at some point (the people of Jupiter, the people of Venus, etc. it just doesn't happen all at once. there are also plenty of NEW people, who make more new people, and so-on). Earth itself actually started it's whole evolutionary cycle again (this was also part of Saturn's power, her Silence Glaive is for both death AND rebirth). The Four Generals were reborn as well, meant to find their Prince and protect him as well as Serenity, but Beryl had also returned, once again following Metalia, and they joined her as well (their new lives destroyed, and forced to "follow their roles" of the past that lead to ruin)

-When Saturn uses her full power, it not only ends her life and the lives around her, it takes up SO much energy, she sort of has to "skip" a couple life-times before being re-born. In a "worst-case scenario" time-line, the events with Professor Tomoe happened differently, Hotaru didn't survive, and there was no Saturn. Another Guardian had to assume some of her roles, and while nobody could use the same power of death/rebirth, other abilities could be learned. This is why there is some "blend" between the time/death powers of Pluto and Saturn (Pluto was also always a solitary and powerful Guardian, so sharing certain responsibilities with Saturn was easy, but it also meant she was even more lonely). In the past Silver Millennium, Saturn had not yet been reborn from a previous event, and so young Pluto was asked guard the door of Space and Time (Saturn basically woke up right before she had to end everything again)

-Because Chibiusa's time-traveling changed a few things, including Pluto leaving behind her watch, thus having a life as a normal person... until her powers as a Guardian awakened again, and this also brought out Neptune and Uranus (who hadn't been part of things in the previous time-line). Hotaru is also able to survive, but is stalled from awakening by Mistress 9 and Pharaoh 90. Thanks to Chibiusa's love, Sailor Saturn and Sailor Moon are able to defeat the enemy without fully ending everything again (in the previous version of events, without help from the Outer Senshi, much of the planet was wrecked even after the enemy was pushed back, eventually leading to Wiseman manipulating more people into working for him. Wiseman was another form of Pharaoh 90, which were both manifestations of Chaos). In the time-line Chibiusa came from, Crystal Tokyo had become the only safe place for anybody to live, but in this new reality, the world is saved, and Saturn is able to be reborn then awaken much sooner (joining everybody again, and finally having a regular life as Hotaru)

-In another time-line, even further in the future, Chaos has attacked and killed the Earth so many times, trying to get the Silver Crystal, all the Guardians have gone through death/rebirth multiple times... until finally, none of them had enough energy to return, except for Sailor Moon. She continued to fight alone, becoming Sailor Cosmos, but slowly lost hope. She eventually tried one last-ditch effort to change things, returning to the past (as Chibiusa had once done), disguised in a smaller form, and attempted to comfort her past self before everything fell apart... but ultimately, it was her old self, Sailor Moon, that reminded her to never give up. Cosmos saw that this version of Sailor Moon had become stronger than she was, and it inspired her to return to her own reality, perhaps find a new solution. Once again, Sailor Moon pushed back Chaos and saved the world where all the people she loved could live

they first find him in the jungle, where an armadillo has no business being

they find the entrance to the city, while being followed by him

he is present when the volcano starts to erupt (previous concept art also showed him in the background actually stopping the eruption)

miguel and tulio sucked ass at the ball game, so they used Bibo as a ball. He ricocheted himself all over the place and defied physics to get into the hoop every time
