Nie Huaisang: I Don’t See Why It’s So Hard To Understand, DaGe.

snowpines week day 2- aged up

tECHNICALLY i’m drawing these all a year into the future anyway so. here’s the boys having a rest now that the war’s finally over feat. supportive big sis ruby and unsure big sis weiss

note: everything i draw for this ship should be considered as taking place a year into rwby’s future, under the assumption that oscar and ozpin are separate beings by that point

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.

it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.

I BOTH HATE AND LOVE HOW ACCURATE THIS POST IS

Willow is not a bad mother. Yeah, saving Whitley shouldn’t be Weiss’s responsibility. But if you think Willow doesn’t love her kids or isn’t trying her best—then congratulations, you’ve never dealt with this kind of abuse. 

You’re lucky.

This is exactly what it’s like.

Willow protected her kids every way she knows how while also being beaten down mentally, emotionally, and possibly physically. Meanwhile, the kids she’s protecting resent her for not doing more—”at least I’m trying to do something about it”—and Willow resents herself too, which is why she responds to that line by chugging vodka straight from the bottle

So yeah, again, saving Whitley shouldn’t be Weiss or Winter’s responsibility—but that is JACQUES’ fault, not Willow’s. Jacques shot her in the leg, okay? She can’t carry her kid off the battlefield no matter how much she wants to. And that is not her fault. 

There are a lot of REAL Willows out there in the world who have no fucking clue how to get their kids out of the hole their partner has dug under them, let alone themselves, and that is always, 100%, the abuser’s fault.

I’m just… salty about the Willow hate. This is the most accurate depiction of abuse I’ve personally seen in fiction. I just need y’all to understand Willow is 100% a victim too, okay? She’s my mom. She’s trying her best. 

Sincerely, Winter

Beautifuly written- and drawn.

I just rewatched that scene in ep. 22 during the sunshot campaign when Nie Huisang stands on the ramparts of the Nie fortress enthusiastically waving goodbye to Wei Wuxian and telling him to take care as he’s heading off w/ Lan Wangji for the final battle in Nightless City.

I’ve seen posts debating what inscrutable logic took place in Huaisang’s complex genius brain that he chose resurrecting The Yiling Patriarch as his method of resolving his brother’s murder.

But, dude. Wei Wuxian was like his only friend. The guy who thought his bird was cool, and showed him how to fish, and got him drunk on a school night, and admired his porn collection.

I know we love to think of masterminds as coldly objective and detatched but I like to think it came down to a gentle, lonely, artistic, grieving Huaisang thinking, “If only my brilliant friend were here, everything could be okay again.”
