Wait for it…

Concept: bi/pan/ace kids feeling safe and welcome in their community.

Okay, this is in incredibly petty nitpick, but: if you’re writing a fantasy setting with same-sex marriage, a same-sex noble or royal couple typically would not have titles of the same rank - e.g., a prince and a prince, or two queens.

It depends on which system of ranking you use, of course (there are several), but in most systems there’s actually a rule covering this scenario: in the event that a consort’s courtesy title being of the same rank as their spouse’s would potentially create confusion over who holds the title by right and who by courtesy, the consort instead receives the next-highest title on the ladder.

So the husband of a prince would be a duke; the wife of a queen, a princess; and so forth.

(You actually see this rule in practice in the United Kingdom, albeit not in the context of a same-sex marriage; the Queen’s husband is styled a prince because if he were a king, folks might get confused about which of them was the reigning monarch.)

The only common situation where you’d expect to see, for example, two queens in the same marriage is if the reigning monarchs of two different realms married each other - and even then, you’d more likely end up with a complicated arrangement where each party is technically a princess of the other’s realm in addition to being queen of her own.

You’ve gotta keep it nice and unambiguous who’s actually in charge!

So I wanted to draw this little reference to show the difference between different members of the corvidae family. It sort of got out of hand… And now I think wings are a huge pain in the ass to draw and I never want to see a bird again.

The dangers and troubles of being a panda zookeeper.

I see BABD’s cult and the bad part of the FNDM have found us talking shit about them.

If I’m the idiot, then how come you’re the ones complaining about realism in a series where everyone has a magical energy barrier that protects them from harm and has weapons with alternate gun modes that’s second to only the battle choreography in sheer over-the-top absurdity?

Mindcrank, I don’t know what crawled up your ass and died, but I’d certainly expect an actual RWBY fan to know better than to blindly listen to someone who not only doesn’t know shit about anything they bitch about at all but regularly steals art, edits it without the artists’ permission, is ridiculously sex-negative, stalks and harasses everyone (inculding women) who tell them they’re a goddamn idiot, and just generally is a complete hypocrite. 

 “B-but Cinder’s arrows!”

Remember Amber’s class case? Cinder pierced it BEFORE she got the maiden powers.

Pyrrha could’ve worn armor as thicker than concrete and it wouldn’t have helped. 

Also Pyrrha’s combat style relies on her being able to move quickly, which thick, restrictive armor like the kind that BABD regularly masturbates to wouldn’t allow.
