    Crossposting from SB: Yeah, Powerpuff Girls = way too broken. Esdeath, not dissimilar to Raven, but handled by a competent writer, and with coherent and discernable thought patterns. She (well, her and Solf J. Kimblee, but that is a discussion for another time) is the standard that Raven is...

    That is exactly what Jacques is. I generally write from the perspective and assumption that Willow forgets Whitley's name whenever she is drunk and calls him either Weiss or Jacques instead. Definitely more retcons about Aura needing to be turned on or off. Aura doesn't seem to be a...

    I posit a different theory. Jacques held his charming, dependable charade that he used to get into the good graces of Willow's family together in the first place until Weiss was 10 (Weiss says that her tenth birthday was when Jacques told Willow he never actually loved her when she explains the...

    Threadmarks: Two Short Pieces

    Interesting… a Semblance that specifically thwarts Ozpin… at the logical cost of being a zombie after death "Soul permanently anchored to the body" There's an idea, Jacques walking around, his flesh puppeteered by his Aura, with a bullet hole in his head or heart, or, more comically, missing a...

    Literal translation? I enjoy Yang speaking Fu Hsi. It reminds me of my own idea to have the Branwens speak either a very very arcane and very formal dialect of it, or if I write based on my Oz quietly killed off all but one language over the millennia because unity, they just sound really old...

    CRWBY are irrationally afraid and comically ignorant about the workings of guns, so that doesn't come as a shock. Well, Plant Dust's mechanism of action has to do something with the creation of organic material, cells, and glucose (the basal unit of metabolizable organic energy) so that...

    Now this is a hard question. Mostly because I could give you a dozen each with a score of reasons per item, and no two would be the same. Suffice it to say that anyone not included on my previous list is not a pairing that I particularly like… I think I left a more detailed explanation...

    Forgot to add my OC sheet to QQ yesterday. Remedying that now. Lieutenant General Doctor Henryk Amzel Inspiration: Edward Richtofen (COD: WAW specifically), Heinrich Amsel (also COD: WAW for the name) Henryk (Bloodborne) also for the name and for the fighting style. Appearance: As muscled as...

    Cognitive dissonance. She'd take it upon herself to explain to him how and why he's really the one oppressing them. Likely at a very inopportune time.

    Threadmarks: Frosted Pop Tarts 1

    Right, I promised a Cyber-Whitley idea, here's my Cyber-Whitley story. I had written it with the intent of both showing off Whitley finally dipping my talons into the long-awaited world of Cold Colors. Personally, I think Frosted Pop Tart is a better pairing name for Whitley x Neon, because...

    They're incompetent writers. Every time they try to show someone in a certain light they fail (because they suck) and we come away thinking the opposite. 1) Blake - They tried the oppressed minority route. They made a spoiled princess of an island paradise (that is economically better off than...

    Yeah, CRWBY just proved themselves to be as dumb as so many bags of sand on that one. Humorous as the assumption of physics breaking is, the principle of charity demands that we assume they had been speaking with respect to Corocea Mors' gravity and balance. Of course, because we're dealing...

    Now this, Aura poisoning in particular, is interesting. It reads and it feels almost like addiction. I can see it happening by degrees. Slowly, day by day, people lean more into themselves. Of course if you lean too far, you fall over, and that's when you become a maniac that ping-pongs between...

    To continue the meme: we can't forget the microtransaction infestation and the utter spinelessness in the character design that would come after 2011. Number 2: So, the activist types are always just upper-crust brat gangs larping as rebels or whatever? That is hilarious. Also, Count made...

    In order: Unwell for whom? Part of me assumes she'll disclose government secrets just to screw over Ironwood. But I also see her saying something about Faunus (didn't she call Marrow 'Fido' or something in the show?) when it's Blake's turn to be Jaune's bodyguard. Or she attempts to guilt Weiss...

    Glynda and Jaune's future daughters? Glynda and her sisters? I like these designs and think we can do more with them. In each case something indelible & transcendental (and I do not only mean her tatas) is lost forever, and the story suffers for it. You know, on a semi-related note, I...

    Not Menagerians don't approve of Human/Faunus relationships (they still don't, so don't worry), they all specifically hate Human/Velvet relationships in particular. Go for it, Cardin! Of course, on the note of Blake's cover, my idea is that she just tells people that she's a human and...

    Right, muse is getting away from me on my latest NSFW Snippet, but it looks like my Halloween snippet is going to be done on time (but that one's probably going in the NSFW too). But first I've got to address this honking letter. That doesn't look/read like organic dialogue. Was this letter...

    Count should probably explain what the ICE Dragon project is. Because the the ICE Dragon unit is key to understanding my Cyber Whitley concept, the AU, and all of the characters and places that I may introduce.
