You’re probably thinking of this post?

is there any gift you're hoping to get this year?

you know what, I SHOULD duel him. square up dude

G o o d . Yes!!!

It’s About The Contrast. The Bard and the Terrorist. The Brother and the Politician.

It follows his arc so well ugh

I like simple daemon aus, but nobody is doing it like republic of heaven community radio

Because basically every four-person group in the damn show fits the formula.

We have so many Dorothy-Tin Man-Scarecrow-Lion groupings in this show, ranging from heroes to villains to headmasters to parents. 

So yes, while Weiss’ story is about her awakening her compassion and gaining strength through human connection, that doesn’t mean she’s gonna become the Winter Maiden. Just like it doesn’t mean Ren isn’t going to be either, despite the fact that he’s the Tin Man of JNPR. 

Though you have it wrong, Ruby isn’t a perfect fit for Summer. Ruby would make a pretty good Fall Maiden. It’s Blake that fits Summer. 

But I don’t believe Team RWBY are going to all be Maidens by the end of this. For one, I don’t think Penny is going to go anywhere, and neither do I think Cinder is either. 

We’ll see what happens with the Summer Maiden, though given how late in the game she’ll be introduced, I’m not too optimistic about her survival rates. 

Besides, people really have Maiden identifying all wrong. You shouldn’t be asking the question “Who fits the themes of the Maidens?”, because RWBY loves to parallel and foil characters, you’ll wind up with a half-dozen candidates. 

Ask instead “What would becoming the Maiden do for their character arc?”

For Penny, it gave her the validation she’s been craving her entire life. She’s not just a machine, not something less than human, and just because her soul came from a fragment of her father’s doesn’t make her a boy either. The Blue Fairy didn’t make her a real girl, she instead showed her what was true all along: she is  a real girl. 

For Yang, it’s twofold. For one, it finally gives her what she’s been searching for her entire life: a purpose. A life’s calling. A responsibility that is uniquely hers. Her quest to seek out Raven isn’t just an attempt to understand Raven, but to understand herself, to find out where she comes from and from there figure out where to go. She seeks knowledge of the past to try and forge her future with. Becoming the Spring Maiden would give her great power. And with great power comes great responsibility. 

And secondly, it would give her validation too. Yang wanted to meet her Mom to know why she left. Why Raven didn’t care enough to stay. Yang being in Raven’s last thoughts, above anyone else, would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Yang has always had Raven’s love, even though she’s been fucking terrible at showing it. And as sad as it would be for Yang, it would still be validating for her.

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

Hi.

Thank you for this.

I mean what can I add to this.

Idk but I'm gonna have feelings about it anyway like:

Hello Wilbur. And Tommy seeing his grave.

Tubbo & Co. seeing the vault. Rescuing Tommy.

Crimeboys tension from earlier on, or even clingyduo tension now, just the learned to love something other than us, and then the sandy shores of exile.

And then Tommy having been saved but he hasn't been saved yet. He still needs to bring Wilbur back to life.
