isekai needs to start borrowing from the truly unhinged world of middle grade fantasy novels for its premises. where’s the isekai where a high school student falls into a hippo enclosure at his part time job at a zoo and is transported to another world? or the one where a bunch of middle schoolers go to a haunted house on halloween, and are kidnapped and taken to another world to be sold into slavery?
'due to the impact of the strike' NO. THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE STRIKE. DO NOT TRY TO SHIFT THE BLAME ONTO THE WRITERS AND ACTORS. FOCUS ON NETFLIX- THEYRE THE ONES WHO CANCELLED THE SHOW AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE STRIKE
New title and release date for Stormlight 5
if we want to get technical there is also the ice queendom anime spinoff which, while not fully canon, is canon compliant (as in it doesn’t technically contradict official canon material, and thus could theoretically have occurred within the canon) and that adapts volumes one and two before adding extra material between volumes two and three, slotting in alongside the beacon arc chronologically, but watchable whenever you want considering the non-canon status
Hey question, you like rwby right? I know there’s books and stuff to read separately from the main show, but what’s the timeline?
Yeah I love RWBY! (don’t get me started on my pre-packaged rants I have about just everything)
So we have the main 9 volumes that you’re gonna wanna watch ahead of everything else, BUT the books, movies, and short stories take place in between so here’s a list of CHRONOLOGICAL order
World of Remnant short episodes, all expositional episodes about the world
Roman Holiday spin off book
Volume One
Volume Two
Volume Three
RWBY anthology manga series
RWBY Chibi comedy series
Volume Four
After the Fall spin off book
DC comics
Volume Five
Before the Dawn spin off book
More DC comics
Volume Six
Volume Seven
RWBY/Justice League movie number one (not canon)
Volume Eight
Volume Nine
RWBY/Justice League movie number two (not canon)
Now, if I’ve missed anything or something’s out of order, someone please correct me 😭
NOTE: the World of Remnant short episodes were released alongside volumes 2, 3, and 4 and could also be considered part of those volumes on the timeline
NOTE: the anthology series takes place during volumes 1, 2, and 3 and could also be considered part of those volumes on the timeline
EDIT NOTE: I forgot about the DC comics 😭 thank you for reminding me! I haven’t actually read them, so I’m not sure what they’re about entirely nor who they feature, but this is my reminder to go actually check them out lmao
But ultimately, the order I think you should consume the series in??
Volume one
Volume two (and watching World of Remnant as you go)
Volume three (and watching WoR as you go)
RWBY Chibi to cheer yourself up
Volume four (and watching WoR as you go)
After the Fall
Volume five
Volume six
Before the Dawn
Volume seven
Volume eight
Roman Holiday
Volume nine
and sprinkle in the Justice League movies/anthology manga if you wanna
Idea:
okay so i just finished Plain Bad Heroines, and i had an idea for a movie adaptation of it that’s incredibly infeasible, but would be the weirdest most layered meta shit ever (spoilers for the book under the cut)
okay so i think the way to go about an adaptation for maximum chaos/confusion would be to adapt Merritt’s novel she writes about the production of the Happenings at Brookhants movie, because now you’re adapting a fake novel made about a parody of a fake movie (bc she changed the names for plausible deniability) which itself was a meta movie about the filming of a cursed movie, all of which is contained within the pages of an actual fiction novel. so now you have a movie about a movie which is actually two separate movies which are going to be stitched together into one movie, none of which is real. then to make it extra confusing and meta, the end credits pan out to reveal all of this movie you just watched was playing in a theater, empty except for three girls sharing a bucket of popcorn. when the lights in the theater come on, you see that they look suspiciously similar to the three main protagonists of the movie you just watched.
i think it’s also kinda implied that the highstorms have a huge effect on height/stature, bc the alethi, who live closest to the origin, have the tallest average height on roshar, while the shin, who are completely sheltered, have the shortest average height
I hadn't quite noticed just how tall Kaladin is supposed to be until it was mentioned here. I'm noticing it now that I'm looking for it in this read through. [Redacted] in The Sunlit Man is tall compared to the people on Canticle, but short compared to the Alethi. How fuckin tall is Kaladin? Is he a Chara sized 20 year old?
More importantly...is he taller than Rock? Rock is bulky and overall bigger, but IS HE TALLER?? I DO NOT KNOW!?
QUICK. RB THIS WITH THE FIRST SONG LYRIC THAT COMES TO YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU SEE THIS POST. THAT IS AN ORDER

yeah i personally have always thought of the ship as like rivals to friends to lovers, where beacon arc is like ruby constantly insisting on being friends with weiss, and weiss gradually warming towards her because of it, then the the romantic subtext comes later, in like volumes 6-8
I really enjoy Whiterose as a ship, but I do wish more of the FNDM surrounding it weren't so invested in their V1 characterizations.
Ruby and Weiss have both grown so much and honestly its as they are now that I love the idea of a romance between them.
Weiss has become a lot kinder and wiser, while still being able to get a bit prissy and bent out of shape.
Ruby has had more burdens to be sure, but has also grown smoother and more confident in how she carried herself.
Both still have a lot of their original energy, when Ruby is in a good space she can be very bouncy and Weiss can be quite regal, but there's more to them than "Puppy X Tsudere" and I wish we saw more of that.
Out of curiosity rb and put in the tags how many fics come up when you type your last name into ao3. Apparently even though my last name is uncommon there's like 500
i mean the soul permeability explanation makes sense and it’s funny, however i would like to present some other alternatives:
John definitely read, and maybe wrote fanfic prior to the whole god thing, and I wouldn’t put it past him to incorporate fanfic tropes as part of the mythos/scripture around himself
gideons porn mags probably used similar tropes as like setup material for the sexy scenes, and there is a nonzero chance harrow has read some of them
my personal favorite - the noniad is essentially like a several hundred thousand word fanfic imo, and we know from htn that harrow has read enough to quote long sections from memory, so maybe she got her fanfic trope knowledge from ortus
So I like kind of mentioned this in a previous post but like. It’s weird?? Right?? That when Harrow re-constructs the bubble over and over again at the start of HtN Act V she does 1) role-reversal AU 2) Arranged marriage AU 3) Coffee shop AU. Because those are FANFIC TROPES. (The arranged marriage AU being especially unhinged to me because she doesn’t even know John is Gideon’s dad at that point!! Her brain had to come up with “what if Gideon were royalty omg??” ON ITS OWN.) And like the fanfic-ness always was insane bc of course yeah that makes sense from a Doylist perspective, ie, Taz Muir’s an author notable for her inclusion of internet humor and culture, and she has personal experience with fanfic. But it didn’t make sense on a Watsonian level because sure, Harrow’s clearly a Romantic, but this isn’t a genre language that I think Harrow naturally speaks. Harrow doesn’t read smutty romance novels!!! She’s a repressed little nunlet obsessed with bones, her only options of sexual interest in her adolescence being 1) GIDEON 2) a corpse she views as holy and sacred— no really safe options for exploratory crushes or sexual experimentation here. So how is she thinking in fic/romance tropes? Either A) Harrow is significantly less repressed than everything I’ve ever read about her would lead me to understand, B) fic tropes are so transcendental that the agonized, wounded, thrice-haunted mind of Harrowhark Nonagesimus could, in its death throes, find itself in this specific genre of text she has no personal reference for, or C) according to the Sex Pal Theory of Permeability, Harrow has gained an understanding of romance tropes via soul osmosis, from Gideon/Alecto/Wake/Palamedes during the bubble visit???, and that explains why she dreams in fanfiction. I’m going with option C. Thank you Unwanted Guest for solving this little mystery for me 🙏🙏🙏

I just realized how much of a gideon nav/griddlehark song “Lone Survivor” by The Wrecks is.
like:
no offence but i think a lot of us me included don’t actually want romantic love as badly as we think and really are just lonely and crave a closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships because of society’s emphasis on marriage and the nuclear family so we project that into the never ending search for a perfect love and a soulmate when really we all just want to mean something to someone

The trio:
public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):
brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)
seattle (13-26yo us residents)
boston (13-26yo us residents)
los angeles (13-18yo california residents)
san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)
these cards (part of the books unbanned initiative) get you access to each library's complete libby/overdrive collection (unless otherwise mentioned), no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.
ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!
i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!
i use library extension (firefox/safari/chrome compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.
spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.
Oh fuck off
i’m also ace and while i get where you’re coming from with not grouping queer ppl in with ppl who may be oppressors, you are entirely missing the point here. the word allosexual contains absolutely no connotation that the person you are calling allo is an oppressor, and also your distinction of all queer ppl as allies and all cishets as oppressors is stupid. i’ve had cishet friends who were incredibly supportive of my asexuality, and i’ve also known queer people who were aphobic. you’re joining the idiots who call simple descriptors like cis and allo slurs for no reason and also creating unnecessary conflict where it doesn’t actually exist
as an entire queer trans allosexual i think it's weird when other allosexuals don't like the term allosexual for themselves. it just means not asexual. smacks of cis people who scream and howl and pee their pants about being called cis
the way tumblr tags trend is so funny, sometimes it seems like if ONE post gets popular the entire tag trends.
I’m gonna do an experiment. let’s use the tag
uhhhhhh

We need a digital archive of LGBTQ+ works of art, science, and every other conceivable work we can share between each other because we are beyond the genocide warning level in most countries in the west and they're already trying to purge us from libraries.
yall with adhd or autism or such ever just get…. bored. like so Painfully bored. like its not “oh hehe i was so bored and i made this” to flex or “oh im so bored bc i have nothing to do” but like a “i am physically incapable of ending this horrible understimulation with any activity i might attempt” and its genuinely fucking painful

I think a lot of the strange sounding cavalier names come from numeral prefixes which come from Sanskrit instead of Latin or Greek like most English speakers would be used to. For example:
dvi- is the prefix for two, probably where Dve comes from
catur- is four, and becomes Chatur
asta- is eight, and becomes Asht
nava- is nine, and becomes Nav
Nigella is still confusing, because her name still means sixteen instead of aligning with one of the houses. Maybe she was the 16th and final member to join the original Lyctors/cavaliers or something? I don’t know if there’s an official cannon order on how they joined, but that’s the only significant use of the number 16 I can think of.
i have a question about jon's naming convention of people. like. whole numerical thing is another thing i have thoughts about but. how many languages he knew?
bcs pyrrha surname "dve" feels like it came straight outta slavic mouth. two - russian "dva" - dve.
nigella surname is shodash, hindi word for 16. not even six. sixteen.
why do these two stick out? other cavs surnames have latin roots as far as i know. is it miss tamsyn ideas overruling the question 'how the would he know these words if every dictionary is burnt with apocalypse?' is it intentional?
Scientists need to find a way for me to read every single fantasy book ever written and still have time to reread my favorites and read non-fantasy books. This is what really matters
