Luz remembered what the collector said differently.
In "Edge of the World" she recalled it being "let's slash and rend and crush and bruise, let's curse the land in nine bright hues". In "Hollow Mind", it was "we'll play together me and you, when we paint the land in nine bright hues".
This also happened in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" where she remembered her mom telling her to never go back to the boiling isles but in "Yesterday's Lie" she actually told Luz to promise her to stay home and that she'll swear things will be different.
It's no surprise that she remembered those two events differently since they were both pretty emotional moments and plus human memory isn't perfect.
I know someone has said this before and that a lot of people figured it out but I thought it was still a cool detail.
Qrow: I tried to teach Ozpin some modern slang.
Ozpin: [throws a guy across the room with the Long Memory]
Ozpin, turning to Qrow: Yeet?
Qrow: I’ve never regretted anything more in my entire life.
What do you love about Fairgame ? I liked them too ! Share some positivity with me if you feel like it 💚❤️
Bestie I’d love to talk abt fairgame if I didn’t have crippling anxiety and a fear of upsetting ppl :’)
Completely unrelated but I have a RWBY Enneagram chart in the making ! Some types are harder to fill out than others (let's just say some types are overly present on Remnant xD) but I'll manage... somehow. Probably.
If you know anything about enneagram don't hesitate to share with me your predictions 👀
If you know nothing about it but you're curious, don't hesitate to check it out here !
For a short summary : enneagram is a typology system (like MBTI or Socionics or other stuff hanging around). But moreso than personality & simply giving out traits for you to relate to; Enneagram is actually a helpful tool, focusing on WHY you act the way you do, discussing the coping mechanism that built themselves out of your childhood traumas/struggles (big & small). Enneagram is about fears, motivations, and how you relate to 3 main emotions (fear, anger & shame). There are 9 types : 3 for each emotion because it distinguishes 3 main ways to react to them. For short & more crudely... enneagram tells you how you suck and why xD But also & mostly, it can help putting words on (maybe) some of your struggles & how to grow from there. And if it doesn't do anything for you eh, ditch it no harm no foul !
On a lighter note you can totally just use it for fun to compare yourself to fictionnal characters. Nothing scientifically proven here, no need to overthink over it. Just a potentially helpful tool & a chance to have fun !
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.
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 am perfectly normal about this. This will not make me go insane. I am completely normal about this moment.
