I Think It’s Also Kinda Implied That The Highstorms Have A Huge Effect On Height/stature, Bc The Alethi,

i am an unfortunate victim of this. my notifications have not stopped in the 20 minutes since you reblogged my post

Have you been reblogged by aroacesafeplace? Has your post blown up because of that? You may be entitled to financial compensation

Lockwood & Co., but they use guns.

Ghost: i-

The trio:

Brandon! What does this mean?!?!

listened to Bohemian Rhapsody today… i’m so very sorry

a sequence of Events. not crosby. not mcdavid. just one nhl player with no “reputation” and everything to lose.

someone needs to add pics of the ace flag but slightly skewed or altered for our “asymmetric or whatever” pride celebration

my roommate just referred to our asexual mutual as “asymmetric or whatever”.

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

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 🙏🙏🙏

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
