The Funniest Thing About The Marquis Machina Identity Reveal Is That It Recontextualizes The Shoes In

Panels from The Case Study of Vanitas. Marquis Machina appears in an tall mechanical suit with a face reminiscent of Japanese art. Narration reads, "Francis was the one who told me. About thirty years had passed since the day August left. I believe it was 1702."

In the next panel, Chloé d'Apchier looks up at Machina and says "you've come as a terribly uncanny one this time, haven't you?" Machina responds, "I modeled it after the dolls of a country in the far east."
A The Case Study of Vanitas page. Francis Varney sits with her legs crossed, scowling. She's wearing Japanese sandals. The text alongside her reads, "My friend, Marquis Machina."

The funniest thing about the Marquis Machina identity reveal is that it recontextualizes the shoes in her current outfit from "quirky Mochijun design choice" to "Francis Varney is a Japanophile."

Ye olde weeabeau.

I know Ozpin is intended as this sort-of morally grey Dumbledore; but he's missing Dumbledore's main flaw of voluntarily withdrawing from the fight in favor of letting a chosen one kind deal with a mad man alone because "destiny"

It's just wild to me, constantly, to see how much Ozpin's decisions are warped in some people's mind. He never asked the kids to go toe-to-toe with Salem herself; he gave people the training needed to fight against Grimm : creatures who always existed even outside of Salem's control and WILL attack people regardless of what he does. He told them about Salem because they were attacked by her hunchmen and they needed to know, that wasn't a subtext for "now go fight Salem herself." That wasn't the terms of their training; which is why is lying isn't actually as evil as some people make it out to be.

Is Ozpin flawed ? Yes. Does he always take the best decisions ? Not really. Was the lying one of his flaws ? Yes. The root of it was human and he had good intentions (on top of his trauma & trust issues let's be honest) but it was still fundamentally flawed in several aspects. Was it evil... Not really ?

I know Ozpin is meant as this morally grey character, who's sketchy and manipulative if still well-meaning; but honestly with what we were given I'd call him a very pale grey at most, so it's even more mind-boggling for me to see people calling him pure evil.

...Or say that he would have no problem taking over Oscar's body completely.

I have recently learned that during Volume 6 (and possibly 7) parts of the RWBY FNDM believed that when Oscar was missing Ozpin came back and now was now controlling Oscar’s body pretending to be him.

And think this is a reflection of the FNDM’s belief that Ozpin is evil, because that’s pretty fucking evil; and not something Ozpin would do

So we got the Hunter & Amity parallel, the Hunter & Willow parallel... But what about the Luz & Hunter parallel uh ?? Where is it ?

Well fear not dear friends, for my sister & I are currently examining Luz and Hunter through the lense of "Good Kid - Percy Jackson The Musical" and will share the result with you some time soon 🔎

Not in AMV form sadly because neither of us know how to do that but I will share our interpretation through lyrics associated with the appropriate gifs + small explanations (like I did for some RWBY characters). Will probably be in several parts since there's a 10 picture limits

GET READY FOLKS

My head is filled with my little fictive characters and all the songs I painstakingly associate with them words by words <3

You've already got most of the fandom agreeing with you anon, just go literally anywhere else and leave people alone

Or better yet, have the mindblowing realization that people are not hiveminds and sometimes they will (shocker) disagree with you.

You have a nice day that doesn't consist on trying to impose your OPINION (you know the difference with fact) unto OP.

Anyway *I* think OP is right and they should say it. :) I also think what happened to Penny's character in V8 was pretty shitty. And I think pulling out of nowhere medical opinion on the state of his arm when nobody knows what happened just to justify that ''well actually he was just too impatient and he's a monster for replacing his arm so easily" is shitty. Because that's not canon remember, that's just someone's headcanon Have a good day. Go discuss with people who agree with you, there are plenty of them and you'll be way happier

Anyway there was nothing ableist about Ironwood. Have a nice day.

Have a good day too hon.

Maybe go outside and enjoy yourself instead of harassing people in their inboxes, I promise it’ll make you a lot happier <3

SALUTATIONS !

Saw this on the main tag and figured it was a good way to start off my blog (even if I've already posted/reblogged a few things shh)

SALUTATIONS !

Hello friends ! You can call me anything from Nexyra to Nex. She and They are both fine; I'm Ace and an ISFP 2w1. As well as french ;) That's pretty much it sfsjhgfqj I created this blog mainly bc of RWBY content on Tumblr but there are many fandom I care about so there's probably gonna be other stuff later but well.

I'm mostly planning on fun posts like attributing a Love Language to characters, typing them (Enneagram & MBTI are my jam) and also music posts kind of (lyrics + gif) ! Here's a fun jar of RWBY I saw in the main tag. Good way to show who my faves are and what you should expect from this blog haha

(no Ironwood discourse on this post please, I don't condone his actions in Vol8 but I prefer to focus on his character in Vol 7 </3)

In any case... a very good day to you all !

Oh and here's the clean copy !

SALUTATIONS !

You clearly have no idea how lighting in animation works. Plus, Sun’s just tan, his skin’s never been that dark.

The gifs show Sun right next to Coco who has always been extremely pale in show, and apparently even takes pride in her pale skin in the books. So nah, I'm sorry to say it's not JUST lighting.

I didn't say Sun was POC because that's not my place (although based on his chinese allusion and how I've seen people describe him I wouldn't say that's necessarily inappropriate) and it's also why I won't be speaking of white-washing because AGAIN, not my place. Saying he's just tan works for me if that's what you want to go with; doesn't change the fact that Coco clearly ISN'T. He's not Emerald but Sun's skin is still arguably one of the darkest of the show along with Tai, Ilia or Oscar so I think it matters.

Yea I took a V1-V3 Sun screenshot because I can already hear the argument that Coco is only THAT pale bc of the different engines. Yes but that's not the problem : same season, CLEARLY different skin tones. And they're both in day lightning in the first screenshots.

Now Chibi. They're in the exact same place at the same time under the same lighting : Sun should still be clearly more tanned than Coco. Point blank

(again i don't watch Chibi so maybe this isn't NEW and back in the first chibi seasons they had already stolen his melanin; but that doesn't change the fact of the matter.)
