I Keep Forgetting That Reblogs Don't Show Up In The Main Tag After Ranting For A Good 10 Minutes SO,

i keep forgetting that reblogs don't show up in the main tag after ranting for a good 10 minutes SO, I was saying

On the subject of Silver Eyes, I've been thinking that I would really like Mercury to have them ?

No way it is canon of course, the writers have made clear that Mercury's eyes are grey; and I'm pretty sure they want to roll with the Chosen One/only Ruby has Silver Eyes currently aspect. But I think it could have been interesting in other ways; and Mecury would have been an easy way to develop SEW lore.

I Keep Forgetting That Reblogs Don't Show Up In The Main Tag After Ranting For A Good 10 Minutes SO,

For a starter, Mercury (apart from being part of Salem's team) is kind of lacking in direct ties to the rest of the world of Remnant. We barely know what country he's from. He doesn't care about Cinder as a person; both her and Salem are just job-givers. His abusive dad is dead and there's no mention of a mom. Truly his only tie in terms of relationships currently is Emerald, who just defected. In that sence, Mecury having Silver Eyes that no one (not even himself) knew about could be a good starting point do develop new relations with other characters.

His character also isn't bloated with traits or skills, so it wouldn't feel like a weird powercreep pileup.

And the other aspect that I think could be really interesting is in term of Lore. I don't know PRECISELY where we're at in terms of SEW lore, but I think there were some ideas thrown around akin to "there have never been SEW who used their powers for bad" ? (or was that a headcannon, I forgot -) In any case it's been clearly said that Silver Eyes aim to protect life. And what life does Mercury feels the need to protect ? None. He's an abused, lonely and cynic kid who doesn't feel like he has anything better to offer than assassination talents. The only person he cares about is Emerald. How would Silver Eyes play out among that ?

And more than that, let's not forget : his father rid him of his Semblance. Semblance, the manifestation of the soul. What does Mercury's soul even look like now ? How damaged and hurt could it be ? That's interesting.

So what if Mercury plain grey eyes were but a dulled version of true Silver Eyes. Because to truly shine like this, like Ruby and Summer and Maria and all these previous SEW did, you need more than just DNA : you need the will to protect. A simple soul.

I just think it would be neat to explore that. It wouldn't even hinge on Salem being dumb : Mercury doesn't have Silver Eyes as it is, but he'd have the *potential* for them under different circumstances, given a reason to protect life. I don't think it would be farfetched to assume that Salem didn't look further than "SEW vaporizing Grimm, transmitted in a family" and not experimenting on whether angry children with plain grey eyes had the potential to vaporize her Grimm : it's not like she WANTS to create herself more ennemies.

And on the other hand, I just think there would be a poetic message within the abuse victim who dwells in darkness by habit, because they're convinced they have nothing better awaiting them... That no : you have good and greatness in you. You can do so much more than what you've been taught.

(Oughta be careful to not make it look like Mercury specifically is redemeeable because of those hidden Silver Eyes instead of just because he's a person who has more to offer to the world than just his father's teaching, bc that would turn a good message into a terrible one. But like, there's something there ? I think ?)

Idk people I've been having feels over this concept.

I can't even fanthom the sheer CONFIDENCE with which these people qualify RG shippers as gross 30 yo when this ship is just two wholesome children trying their best. There is nothing sexual about it, there's no power imbalance between Oscar & Ruby, they respect each other, they just finger-gun each other or blush a bit. How do they even make that jump to "ew gross" I genuinely CAN'T understand

Also you know they're not even worth it when they outright say "if you see me attack people who are just existing & liking a sweet ship between 2 teenagers, don't call me out." Someone really missed the "having differing likes and preferences doesn't allow you to attack a person" classes uh

Rosegarden Antis: "Why are you always shoving rg in our faces??? You're disgusting and it's inappropriate and you're all toxic!"

Also Rosegarden Antis:

Rosegarden Antis: "Why Are You Always Shoving Rg In Our Faces??? You're Disgusting And It's Inappropriate
Rosegarden Antis: "Why Are You Always Shoving Rg In Our Faces??? You're Disgusting And It's Inappropriate

One: *confused 20-year-old noises*

Two: You're telling people to mind their business as you harass and attack rosegarden shippers who are *looks at scribbles on hand* minding their business?

Three: When people call you out on your bullshit, you claim that they "proved your point" and that they're the bad guys for... defending themselves?

Four: This person ALSO did a post asking what people's unpopular RWBY opinions were and added, "No HTDM!" as if they weren't part of it.

Panels from The Case Study of Vanitas. Marquis Machina appears in an tall mechanical suit with a face reminiscent of Japanese art. Narration reads, "Francis was the one who told me. About thirty years had passed since the day August left. I believe it was 1702."

In the next panel, Chloé d'Apchier looks up at Machina and says "you've come as a terribly uncanny one this time, haven't you?" Machina responds, "I modeled it after the dolls of a country in the far east."
A The Case Study of Vanitas page. Francis Varney sits with her legs crossed, scowling. She's wearing Japanese sandals. The text alongside her reads, "My friend, Marquis Machina."

The funniest thing about the Marquis Machina identity reveal is that it recontextualizes the shoes in her current outfit from "quirky Mochijun design choice" to "Francis Varney is a Japanophile."

I just found your blog and hecking love it, especially the love language posts and asexual rosegarden content! Speaking of love language, I hc Salem before turning grimm as physical touch+ quality time (which makes the fact she uses physical touch to hurt+ torture, and her time for manipulation and cruelty all the more saddening)

Aaaaw thanks, that’s super sweet of you !!  I mainly discovered the asexual Rosegarden idea through @greenteaandtattoos so you should definitely check out their blog if you’re part of the gang ♥  I don’t know if I’ll be able to make much more Love Language posts but I can probably try to scrap together one or two more ^^  (I’ll have less canon material though so it might get a bit headcannon-ish :P). After that I think I’ll moreso just share some thoughts on the show and mostly make lyrics post : like finding songs appropriate for RWBY characters, OR analyzing characters with a song as leitmotiv. I have quite a few in mind already, among which a song to parallel Ruby and Ozpin and the leader status they’ve been given mhmm 👀 Oh my, that’s dark. I def think it makes sense for her though you’re right. I can see the Physical Touch that’s for sure... All these headpats and fake loving touch brr. You really ought to be uneasy around her. (unless you’re Tyrian ofc because you’re the one making others uneasy then)
