I Want This Dynamic

Ok ok ok SO!

I think everyone has realized that Leola was autistic. It was heavily implied both through the flashback images and Aaravos' narration-

She lined up her toys, flapped her hands (it was also shown in the trial scene), seemed to be sensitive towards loud sounds (like the other startouch elves when they talked), and walked on her tiptoes. All of those are classic signs of autism.

But there's one thing I haven't seen anyone else bring up, and that's that her giving her human friends magic and breaking the "cosmic order" or whatever could also be because of her neurotype!

Autistic people tend to have very strict senses of morality and fairness, and will disregard rules if they don't fit their idea of right or wrong. Personal example here, I used to constantly do things I was told not to because I thought the rules in question were bogus.

It's not hard to guess that Leola would find the rules about humans not having magic to be unfair- after all, her and all the other elves, and even the animals around them are full of it! So in the mind of an autistic child, this would be incredibly unfair. And she had the power to "fix" the situation! So why wouldn't she?

Why wouldn't she try to help her friends? Because it would break the cosmic order? That's vague as hell and she was a KID!

And the startouch elves atomized her, for breaking a rule she probably only half understood and thought was stupid. Because she was autistic.

Had this thought and wanted to share, makes the whole thing even more tragic.

They definitely did.

you can’t tell me they didn’t do this on purpose

It finally happened…I knew it would eventually. I’ve come up with an actual full-fledged AU to use as inspiration for RWBY fan art. Introducing…

RWBY: NeverFell

Beacon just…never falls

The kids stay in school and finish their education. All new enemies come to them, as Salem constantly tries and fails to destroy them

Is it ridiculous? Yes. But at least it’s FUN

Ozpin beats Cinder on *that fateful day*, so both he and Pyrrha remain alive

Torchwick also survives, because I said so

Anyway

Ironwood still loses his marbles about Salem, but at least now there’s a reason for people to not trust him or want him around because he’s supposed to be running his own damn school

Oscar still exists, but now he gets to be his own person (yay). Maybe he can be Oz’s nephew or something

Maidens are irrelevant. Relics are also mostly irrelevant

The Wyvern is still stuck on the tower, attracting Grimm, but that just makes life a little spicier~

I mean come on; it’s a huntsman academy

I honestly have no idea what I’ll do with this concept, but we’ll see what happens

these two and this song 😭😭😭 oW

I need to see more flashback scenes with these two SO. BAD. genuinely any interaction with og nice and wreck pls pls pls

summing up all of link click with one photo

RWBY — time to put the show out of its misery by freeing it from the remnants of RT / the writers and all of their bad story planning :b

YOU! Are granted the power to suddenly own ONE video game franchise, and to hire the best people who have ever worked on it (and/or anyone else you want in on it).

What video game franchise are you rescuing--er, acquiring?
