"Illinois will become one of three states to require employers to offer paid time off for any reason after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law on Monday that will take effect next year.
Starting Jan. 1, 2024, Illinois employers must offer workers paid time off based on hours worked, with no need to explain the reason for their absence as long as they provide notice in accordance with reasonable employer standards.
Just Maine and Nevada mandate earned paid time time off and allot employees the freedom to decide how to use it, but Illinois’ law is further reaching, unencumbered by limits based on business size. Similarly structured regulations that require employers to offer paid sick leave exist in 14 states and Washington, D.C., but workers can only use that for health-related reasons.
Illinois employees will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked up to 40 hours total, although the employer may offer more. Employees can start using the time once they have worked for 90 days. Seasonal workers will be exempt, as will federal employees or college students who work non-full-time, temporary jobs for their university.
Pritzker signed the bill Monday in downtown Chicago, saying: “Too many people can't afford to miss even a day's pay ... together we continue to build a state that truly serves as a beacon for families, and businesses, and good paying jobs.”
Proponents say paid leave is key to making sure workers, especially low-income workers who are more vulnerable, are able to take time off when needed without fear of reprisal from an employer.
Bill sponsor Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth, a Peoria Democrat, said the bill is the product of years of negotiations with businesses and labor groups.
“Everyone deserves the ability to take time off,” she said in a statement. “Whether it’s to deal with the illness of a family member, or take a step back for your mental health, enshrining paid leave rights is a step forward for our state."
“This is about bringing dignity to all workers," she said at the signing."

Since I'm back in my teen wolf obsession after the movie I'm just gonna say it. The vitriolic hatred for both Scott McCall and Tyler Posey was just fucking racism. There was literally no reason to hate them so much and every excuse I've seen people have for hating Scott is that he didn't center himself around Stiles (his white friend) more.
Scott McCall's only flaw was that he loved his friends too much and he was too trusting and forgiving of people.
I'm all for ship and let ship but Tyler is right about Sterek being weird. Stiles was a minor and Derek was at least 20-23 and as a former Sterek shipper who has seen the light. I don't blame Tyler. Y'all got hella annoying with that ship.
Sterek was never queerbait
Stiles and Derek did not like each other. They only tolerated each other because of Scott. Derek literally says he only came back to beacon hills for Scott. Y'all let Dylan and Tyler Hoechiln convince you otherwise.
Also people hating Scott is another case of white people having this weird issue with not being able to relate to a poc character because y'all literally take all of Scott's traits and give them to Stiles (because mostly I only see white people hating him and a few people of color)
The "iconic" baseball batt and red hoodie y'all love to give Stiles is literally what Scott was wearing in episode 1 of Season 1
EDIT: I'll also never forgive you FREAKS for bullying Tyler Posey after his mom died and said it was karma for saying sterek is weird. You people are fucking sick, disgusting pathetic excuses of a human being--no you're not human. You're literal scum for doing that.
Stiles and Dylan O'Brien were not the face of Teen Wolf. It is Tyler and Scott. Hell for example the sims 3 Supernatural. The werewolf on the cover looks like season 1 Scott.
I LOVE Stiles but those certain Stiles fans have put a sour taste in my mouth for the character.
Also the "Scott McCall is a bad friend" tag is so dumb cause Stiles and every other character on that show would laugh in your face if you tried to tell them that

tw rarepair week 23: day 2, season 1 lydia/scott
|| for @teenwolfrarepairevents event
|| tags: alternative universe, mechanic!scott, bartender!lydia, underage drinking/working at a bar, creepy guys, protective scott mccall, slight angst, confessions, first kiss, somehow set in the summer but also s1 idk
After getting a side job at an automotive repair shop just outside of Beacon Hills, a way to get away from all the chaos of supernatural creatures, the last thing Scott expected to see was Lydia Martin working the bar attached to the shop. But after months of working in the same vicinity, he’s made a point not to go into the bar, assuming she came out here to escape Beacon Hills the same way he has.
Yet that’s where he stands, watching how she smiles with her glossy lips before pouring a drink for an older gentleman sitting at the bar.
Scott hesitates before making his way over to the bar, sitting furtherest away from all the other patrons. He didn’t even know teenagers could serve alcohol, but then again, he wouldn’t be surprised if the owners were paying Lydia under the table the same way they pay Scott.
“Hi Scott.” Lydia says nonchalantly as she wipes down a glass with a white towel that mirrors the one sticking out of the back pocket of her shorts. He makes a point not to stare at them, or at how tight they are, or how small her top is and how low cut it is. It’s nothing like what she usually wears, it makes Scott a little uncomfortable to see this much of Lydia, as though he’s seeing something he’s not supposed to. If anyone asked him how old he’d think Lydia was without knowing her he’d say in her early twenties, he wonders if being here makes him look older too.
If the grease on his hands and uniform add a couple years, or maybe that’s the newfound werewolf features. His fangs itch to come out, not in anger, not because of danger, but just to let them be free for a moment. To feel them in his mouth.
“You gonna order a drink?” He blinks himself away from his thoughts and nods, trying to think up a drink order.
“Whiskey, neat.” It’s what his dad would order, and Stiles’ dad, he knows because he sat in the bar next to them more than once as a kid. Stiles never did, Noah’s too good to do that shit, but Rafael definitely isn’t.
“Whiskey neat, enjoy.” The glass gets slid towards Scott, he quickly sips it, both out of how hot it is outside and how nervous he is being in a bar like this.
It feels all sorts of wrong to watch as Lydia laughs and jokes with the costumers, ignoring how their eyes linger on her chest, or how they make a point to hand her her tip just so their hands can linger a moment too long. It makes Scott feel sick, angry, he wants to slam their heads into the bar and ask what the hell they’re doing. Lydia’s eyes catch his own, probably seeing how hard he’s staring and how angry he is, he softens seeing Martin shoot him a reassuring smile.
“I deal with it everyday Scott, you don’t have to get all wound up.” She hustles back over and starts to pour more whiskey into the glass Scott didn’t even realize he finished. It’s not like he’ll get drunk anyways.
“It’s gross.” A small sigh escapes Lydia, she settles her elbows on the bar and leans towards Scott, looking a little exhausted in the action.
“Like I don’t see the girls out there harassing you when you’re trying to work.” She has a point, nobody knows either of them in this town so they assume it’s okay to flirt and get touchy with them. Scott’s always quick to politely decline and mutter up an excuse of having a girlfriend that doesn’t really exist, it doesn’t always make the people back off, but he cares about this job so he keeps his mouth shut.
“That’s different, you shouldn’t have to deal with those guys.” He side eyes the men talking amongst themselves, oblivious to Scott and Lydia even being in the room. Self centered assholes.
“And you should? Scott, it’s just part of the job, and I need this job so I handle it.” A piece of hair falls forward and without thinking Scott leans to push it back behind Lydia’s ear, fixing a few pieces so it looks like how she normally wears it.
“You’re too sweet to me.” Lydia’s hand wraps around Scott’s wrist, pulling his hand down from her face and dropping her head as she does. Scott frowns, he can smell the guilt on Lydia, the small hint of sadness that makes Scott’s heart squeeze.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” There’s a sheen layer of tears built in Lydia’s eyes, she looks over a moment, the group of men are leaving change and crumpled bills on the bartop before they stumble outside into the California desert heat.
“I was so mean to you and Stiles before, me and Jackson— we were assholes.” She huffs, Scott hates that she blames herself for the control Jackson had over her. Scott forgave her ages ago, and Stiles never even held a grudge in the first place.
“None of that matters now.” Instinctively Scott threads their fingers together, squeezing slightly to try and ease the hurt coming from Lydia.
“Still, I- I don’t think you’d be so nice to me if you knew that—.” She stops herself with a click of her mouth closing.
“What?” Lydia’s eyes level with Scott’s, her heart rate speeding up enough for concern to grow in McCalls chest.
“I like you. Like- really like you Scott, and I know you deserve someone better than me and—.” His lips are pressed into Lydia’s before he can think about it, cupping his free hand around her cheek and not daring to open his eyes in fear of this all being a dream. Martin kisses him back just as deeply and desperately, leaning herself in as close as she can get with the bar still acting as a barrier.
“Your fangs are out.” She pulls back with blown pupils watching how Scott’s tongue flicks across his teeth, she’s right, he doesn’t know when they came out.
“Sorry.” He mutters and tries to get them to go back up but it’s not working all that well, he isn’t good at that type of selective control yet.
“No, it’s okay, I like it.” She smiles into another kiss, Scott forgets about his fangs.

Teen wolf head canons part 1 :
Derek isn’t Eli’s birth father but his adoptive father.
Laura Hale is actually Eli’s birth mom, which still makes Eli a Hale just not Derek’s direct kid.
Context: *Derek is 23 in the pilot, is approximately 26 in season six but he’s 35 in the teen wolf movie*
*Eli is 15 years old. Meaning that Eli was born when Derek was 20 & Laura who was 25-26 was most likely pregnant in ny when Derek was 19.*
So if Derek was theoretically the dad, the mom couldn’t be Paige or Kate because it’s already past that time frame & it can’t be Jennifer or Breadon because It’s too early to match the timeframe of Derek being 20 When Eli born.
Now let’s set the stage for pre-pilot:
Laura (21-22) who is now the new alpha after the Hale fire. She comes back from college only to find her super traumatized 16 yr old brother & her uncle (27-28) in a coma. The sheriff helps her and Derek take care of all there arrangements of funerals burials, the formal adoption of Derek, and lodgings for her uncle cuz he’s not waking up no time soon. All because Laura use to babysit stiles and he’d seen both hales growing up over the years enough that he met their parents and him and Claudia eventually became friends with the Hales. And he felt he owed it to those kids to help them out.
Laura tried to wait out peter’s coma hoping he’d wake up but something is wrong so her and Derek stay in beacon hills. But within a year and a half the Hale fire happened, her uncles in a coma, Malia Tate is missing (birth mom tried to assassinate her and she shifted into a coyote) and her mom and sister died from an “animal attack”, and the sheriffs wife getting sick and dying outta no where of dementia (most likely cuz her unrealized magic mutated cuz of nematon or nogitsune) leaving the man a single father of a 10 yr old stiles who turns into a mean alcoholic so can’t help them at all in that moment.
So Laura makes an executive decision to get Peter longer term care and gets her and Derek the hell outta beacon hills and moves them across country to Ny because she deems it too unsafe and needs to protect the last of her pack.
(All that happening back to back should’ve been some warning signs that some shit was happening w the nematon even back then. But the only family who could’ve figured that out early on was burned out and the only eldest surviving member that could’ve possibly had any idea was in a coma.)
Now Laura & Derek are in ny probably 22-23 & 17 and Derek’s probably realizing it was Kate and not an electrical fire and swears off ppl cuz he’s a lil martyr and treats himself poorly as SH & Laura realizes and put him in therapy and herself so she can lead by example.
They start doing a lot better, Laura meets someone at 23-24 most likely in college or a job & it goes really well. But doesn’t tell him about werewolves for safety reasons & Laura(25-26) was most likely pregnant while Derek was 19.
When Derek is 20 her baby is born and Laura lets him pick the name because he’s been doing amazing in therapy. He goes with Elias (for that one kid Laura use to baby sit with the name too hard to pronounce, who’s mother called him mischief, who talked his ear off, who was named after his grandpa aka stiles) Abel (possibly the birth dads name) Hale
And Derek is so happy to be a uncle and Laura happy to be a mom and her bd apart of their growing lil pack. * so much fluff & love & happiness and first steps*
Eli’s first word is my(mine) and if he deems it his he can & will steal whatever it is. Dada is his second word but not to his dad it’s always to Derek which Laura finds endlessly hilarious. First sentence is “my dada” to random lady in ny trying to hit on Derek while he’s in the park with Eli. Laura who’s not too far off is cackling in the distance and Derek is a tomato.
This all last like 3 years till Laura starts feeling a pull back to beacon hills because her pack it’s. Coming more stable and eventually checks on it through the grapevine only to find if there’s a mysterious alpha in beacon hills and decided to check it out before bringing her family back and to do a in person visit to coma uncle to make sure he’s ok.
PLOT TWIST There actually was a mysterious alpha and he was trying to take Peter out of his misery of being in a coma 7+ years as a werewolf.
The nurse being mysterious alphas human beta had gave the alpha updates.
Only peter wakes up and kills the alpha turning into a alpha and goes crazier with a alpha power surplus and recruits nurse beta into helping him gather into about the fire cuz he puts together the Kate thing pretty fast after finding out his hole family died (minus Laura and Derek) died and hyper fixated on getting revenge.
Still new to his powers his alpha whatever sees Laura as threat instead of niece and kills her.
*Laura dies in pilot at 28-29*

'...23. Sherlock – Series 2, “The Reichenbach Fall” (2012)
The triumphant conclusion (which, as it turned out, wasn’t really a conclusion) to Steven Moffat’s initial Sherlock run was a tour de force in TV suspense, pitting Benedict Cumberbatch’s eponymous super-detective against his greatest frenemy, genius villain Moriarty (Andrew Scott). All anyone could talk about for the next two years — until the third season finally arrived in 2014 — was that devilish cliffhanger when, right at the end of “The Reichenbach Fall”, Sherlock and Moriarty meet for the final time atop St. Bartholomew’s Hospital.
Moriarty offers his nemesis-slash-wannabe-boyfriend a choice: dive from the roof to his death, or allow his closest friends and loved ones – among them, Una Stubbs’ Mrs Hudson, Rupert Graves’ Lestrade and Martin Freeman’s Dr Watson — to be murdered instead. He then pulled his cruellest trick of all, putting a bullet into the roof of his mouth, forcing Sherlock’s hand. The result, Sherlock apparently falling to his death, fuelled rampant fan speculation for months. Until he turned up spick and span in the next season, that is...
20. Broadchurch – Series 1, “Episode 8” (2013)
Murder mysteries are a game of cat and mouse for both the characters on screen and the audience at home, as both try to beat each other to nail down the killer. Bad ones make it too easy, good ones pull the wool over our eyes and great ones change the rules entirely. After seven hours of Broadchurch hunting down the possible killer of 11-year-old Danny Latimer, we knew we’d leave hour eight with an answer, expecting a final-minute reveal born from some intense action sequence that would mask the tragedy in adrenaline.
Instead, halfway through the episode, the killer, Joe, our lead detective Ellie Miller’s (Olivia Colman) husband, gives himself up, sick of being consumed by guilt and shame. It knocked the classic whodunnit structure on its head, changing the focus from the murderer to the fallout of his crimes. There’s Danny’s parents’ grief, which is finally felt in all its horrendous weight now that there are no longer question marks over the case, the town’s reckoning with the aftershock of such a harrowing crime, and Ellie’s life imploding before her eyes. Even though many viewers had worked out that Joe was the murderer, the real shock came from the horror of what it meant to be right...
16. Fleabag – Series 2, “Episode 4” (2019)
Throughout its two seasons, Fleabag became a beacon of rare relatability. It was a show about a woman actively not trying her best, self-sabotaging to bury emotion and hoping that none of it ever found its way to the surface. In its fourth episode of season two, it finally did. The episode is a bait and switch of sorts, as Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s titular Fleabag takes rejection from her hot priest crush (Andrew Scott) as a challenge, aiming to get him to relent on his spiritual allegiances and give into some good, old-fashioned carnal sin. For so long, it seems as if it’s not working, despite the pair dancing around the kind of sexual tension that feels like lightning in a bottle. But then she finds herself alone with him in the church late at night. He has had a few drinks. What starts as Fleabag in control ends with her walls breaking, the vulnerability she feels with the first person she’s connected with since the death of her best friend Boo corroding the armour that’s kept her feelings of guilt and shame and sadness locked away. He commands her to “kneel” and, well… you know the rest...
11. Fleabag – Series 2, “Episode 6” (2019)
Bringing back Fleabag didn’t seem like a good idea. Its beautifully constructed first season felt like the classic case of a one-and-done, particularly because of its gut-punch ending (the reveal that Fleabag had slept with her best friend Boo’s boyfriend shortly before she had died by suicide). And we’ve seen worse shows tarnish their legacies with ill-thought-out second runs. But, as evidenced by its dominance on this list, Fleabag series two went on to eclipse that first outing by every metric. This finale is a devastating conclusion to Waller-Bridge’s tragic romcom, with Andrew Scott’s sexy priest ultimately choosing God over love. Before that, we get to enjoy her father’s wedding to her ridiculous stepmother (Olivia Colman), her sister Claire (Sian Clifford) finding love with her Finnish namesake and a deeply moving and funny sermon from the hot priest (“Love is awful. It’s awful”). And, boy, that ending. The grim, bus-stop bench, the CGI fox, the priest’s devastating reply to her “I fucking love you”: “It’ll pass.” I defy you to see a fox at night on the streets of London and not think of it. But somewhere in here there’s a glimmer of hope, a sense that we’re leaving Fleabag better off than we found her...
9. Doctor Who – Series 3, “Blink” (2007)
Every episode of Doctor Who leans on existential wonder, conjuring concepts of the far reaches of time and space as the Time Lord navigates existence. “Blink” is a fascinating non-linear episode that introduces arguably the most terrifying monster yet – The Weeping Angels, lightning-fast creatures that can send someone through time with a single touch.
The perspective is switched from the usual Doctor and companion to place you in the shoes of Sally Sparrow, a normal girl roped into the world of the Doctor. She is tasked with deciphering the Doctor’s cryptic messages as he warns of the Weeping Angels. However, they turn into stone statues if they are laid eyes upon by a living creature – hence the iconic phrase “Don’t Blink”.
This anxiety-inducing episode prompts you to think at every moment what would I do? Every little action could prove to have deadly and unchangeable consequences. The prospect of being whisked away into another time is an unbearable thought. It is one of the best episodes of the show as it exemplifies everything wonderful about Doctor Who; evoking horror, mystifying time and space, as well as drawing upon emotion as the results of these life-changing stakes steadily come to fruition...
3. Fleabag – Series 2, “Episode 1” (2019)
“This is a love story,” says Fleabag (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) from the floor of a restaurant bathroom, dabbing at her bloody nose. So begins the opening episode of Fleabag’s triumphant second season, which turns a family dinner into a tense negotiation, punctuated with cigarette breaks for gasps of air and set to the operatic thrum of classical music.
Arguably the great achievement of the episode is managing a seamless recap of the previous season, reintroducing all of the faultlines within the family while adding a new face to the table in the Priest (Andrew Scott). The tension ratchets up as an annoying waitress hovers in the wings, Fleabag resists the temptation to bite over and over again, and her sister Claire (Sian Clifford) looks as though a vein in her temple might blow like a pipeline from the effort of holding her emotions in. Andrew Scott’s performance throughout the season is astonishing, but the charm he brings to his introduction is irresistible. Among a table of family members who don’t get her, here, finally, is an equal to tempt Fleabag into opening her heart fully. You can see it in her face as she shrugs him off during one of those cigarette breaks, and he says, in that sing-song voice: “Well, fuck you then.”...'

Season 2 but it's only when Alois is around
so I just finished rewatching season 2! I made TO THE SECOND time stamps of every time Alois Trancy appears on screen (as well as a few other notable things, such as when the explicit/violent parts happen, when Luka appears, and a few lines that were worth mentioning). here is your Tumblr Alois Stan Season 2 Survival Guide! While it's not everything (I didn't write down the post-mortem Hannah eyeball scene) it is 95% of the Alois content in that season!
This was using the version currently avaliable on Netflix. if the season has been cropped or altered on other streaming sites, I don't know how helpful this guide will be! sorry about that! Also, while I tried my best to warn potentially triggering subject matter, and I'm pretty sure I got all of it, I am not 100%, so if you're going to rewatch the season, please get in a headspace where you know, there is a small chance you might see something. The worst, however, has been caught
Tumblr media
TIMESTAMPS FOR THE CSA
EP#1 CLAWED BUTLER -- 0:00-1:14
EP#8 DIVULGING BUTLER -- 9:06-10:36, 12:36-13.59 18.35-18.46
EP#9 HOLLOW BUTLER -- 16:43-16:57
Episode 5-7 have a lot of Alois scenes, but nothing in relationship to his trauma, so if you want an entirely 'safe' and non-triggering viewing, those are your best bet! Episode 1 is also fine, if you start it directly after the opening
Tumblr media
TMESTAMPS FOR OTHER DISCOMFORTS
If I were to try to keep track of all of this, then the list would be extensive and long BUT in regards to Alois in particular, a few scenes did jump out at me as being potentially a little ... weird
EP#1 CLAWED BUTLER --
9:27-9:42 (Druitt says something weird and pervy)
EP#8 DIVULGING BUTLER --
0:00-2:02 (Nothing explicit, but he is naked, bandaged, and the camera is...you know how the camera is. Some weird dialogue too, between him and Hannah and Claude. It's nothing too bad)
3:39-4:31 (The Hannah scene. Some people told me they were uncomfortable with the way he tackled her, even if it was just the camera being a little weird)
(If the triggering stuff really bothers you, just don't want Divulging Butler, that episode was...weird)
Tumblr media

ACTUAL TIMESTAMPS
It'll take ages to jot these down, so here are the pictures of the notes I was taking. Every time Alois Trancy was on screen, I took note of it
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Uhhh fun fact my therapist called me halfway through and I had to write down a number. That's what that scribbled out thing is. Haha...oh, if only she knew...
Tumblr media
ALOIS OUTFITS
Also, as per something @hateweasel said, I decided I had to keep track of what outfits he was wearing throughout the episodes. And I can proudly say the little shorts only show up in episode 1, 2 minutes in episode 5, all of the scenes of him in the present in Episode 8, and all of the scenes of him in Ciel's mind palace in episode 12. So about 20 minutes total. This is out of the approximate 50 minutes of Alois Time in the series, with his other outfits cycling in at the maid dress, the devil costume, his normal outfit but with trousers, and then Ciel's outfit while he's possessing him, and then his clothes as a kid.
Tumblr media
Here is a diagram. I made up those numbers. I could have added it second by second, and that was my plan, and I started, but it was really really boring
Tumblr media
NOTABLE LINES
Some things I just found funny
EP#1 CLAWED BUTLER - Druitt says 'Among us' at 9:55
EP#5 BEACON BUTLER - Alois licks Ciel at 15:34-15:40. It should be noted he spends like 10 seconds proceeding that playing with Ciel's hair and Ciel DOES NOT pull away from him or even seem that disturbed. Huh.
EP#7 DEATHLY BUTLER - There's these shots as the two butlers fight each other where they show the boys reacting. We get 'live Lois reaction' at 6:12, 6:19, 7:39, 9:01, 10:18,10:38, 11:27
In the same episode, the piss line is at 15:23-15:50
EP#9 HOLLOW BUTLER - Ciel actually says he feels regret after Alois dies. This is at 10:10.
Alois's village is also revealed to be called Arachnophile. Ah.
Alois is dead at 20:39
EP#11 CROSSROADS BUTLER - while possessing the body of Ciel Phantomhive, Alois actually tries to hurt himself. It's kind of painful to watch. This occurs at 6:23-6:59, 11:57-13:07
EP#12 BLACK BUTLER - Alois speaks last at 12:05

Did Beacon 23 just kill off Aster (Lena Headey)?! It certainly looked that way in the finale, but remember what we seen from her all season.
In the finale, Aster decides she’ll go into the artifact and receive the message that she’ll share with everyone — humans and AI — and Halan (Stephan James) agrees to join her, for 24 hours and that’s it. But Keir (Marc Menchaca) says he can’t let her do that and shoots her. Is she dead? Or will her connection to the mysterious artifact that has drawn in quite a few people save her?
“I will just say that I know the audience is going to have questions about, is Aster really dead? Those questions will be answered in a Season 2, if we run Season 2,” executive producer Glen Mazzara told TV Insider. “But one of the things that is fun about making the show, and you put your finger on it, is that the audience hopefully can never tell where it’s going. So I will say that I guarantee the audience will continue to be surprised as the entire story unfolds.”
He’s also keeping mum about any details about the aforementioned message Aster was to receive but did say it “was the point of a lot of debate for the cast and crew.” So fans won’t be the only ones eager to get that answer when the show does reveal it.

The first season showed just how far Aster and Halan came, from two people who couldn’t trust each other upon meeting on the Beacon to the two standing together and her telling him she chooses him every time and in every universe in the finale.
They have “come to choose each other,” Mazzara confirmed. “Imagine two people clinging to each other, lost at sea. They need each other, but they care about the other person. So I do think that there was a real arc in which those characters are at each other’s throats early on in the season. I think they’ve each come to grow as a person by being selfless for the other, and that’s a really interesting, beautiful arc that we may not normally see in this type of show.”
After all, the show, while yes, a sci-fi mystery, is about trauma — “people dealing with trauma, people trying to get past their trauma, people trying to shut out their trauma, all of that,” the EP continued. Both Aster and Halan came to the Beacon with past personal trauma and now have to deal with everything they’ve been through in Season 1, which also “gives new layers and new understanding to past trauma.”
Moving forward, a second season — the show was renewed when it was going to be released as a Spectrum Original, then it was picked up by MGM+ — would “take place on different timelines, different levels of emotion, different levels of consciousness, and so we really want the audience to, in Season 1, buy into the world and the story and the characters, and then just as they think they know what’s going to happen in Season 2, we would pull the rug out from under them,” explains Mazzara.
“We worked very hard at taking all of the material and rearranging the puzzle pieces and giving people a puzzle piece every episode where they’re not sure how it fits, where this doesn’t make any sense, and then I promise, the whole story comes together,” he adds. “Because it’s such a limited setting — it takes place on this lighthouse in space — and it’s a limited cast, we had to keep finding ways to surprise the audience, and we just did that by telling the story in a very surprising, nonlinear way.”

23’ 𝓥𝓲𝓻𝓰𝓸 𝓢𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓸𝓷 𝓡𝓮𝓯𝓵𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 ♍️💚
tarot spread with my personal natal chart incorporated in my interpretation.
1. Expressing Devotion: 8 of Cups. I'm embracing a deep journey of self-discovery and devotion this Virgo season. With Saturn in Pisces in my 6th house, I find that my devotion is best expressed through structured and spiritual practices in my daily life. Neptune in Capricorn in my 4th house (2° retrograde) reminds me to nurture a stable and grounded home environment. It's about seeking the divine in the everyday. 🙏🏡🔮
2. Receiving Support: 2 of Wands. I'm receiving support by taking charge of my independence and leadership in partnerships (7th house). The 2 of Wands, with Mars in Aries, tells me that it's my assertive nature that's key. Mars in Aries resides in my 11th house ruled by Leo (24°), which connects with my South Node (26° retrograde). This influence encourages me to step up as a leader within my social circles, and my past experiences have prepared me for this role. 🤝🔥👑
3. Effect on Me (Strength - Leo): The Strength card in my 11th house, along with my Leo stellium (Sun, Mercury, and Mars), empowers me during Virgo season. I'm exuding confidence, courage, and charisma within my social groups. This strength enables me to shine as a leader and a beacon of positivity. 🦁💪💫
💛 Bonus Oracle Card (Plexus Chakra): The message here is clear - “I am taking daily actions to awaken my personal power!” This is the season to embrace and harness my inner strength. 💥🌟
💟 Bottom of the Deck: The 4 of Cups as the overall theme, with the Moon in Cancer conjunct my MC and Part of Fortune (28°), suggests that Virgo season will provide moments for deep introspection and emotional exploration related to my public image and destiny. It's a time to connect with my inner self and discover hidden treasures within my path. 🌙🌌💎
This past Virgo season was all about spiritual 𝓭𝓮𝓿𝓸𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷, stepping into 𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹, and embracing my inner 𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓽����. I'm ready to shine! 🌟🍂🔮
𝓼𝓾𝓶𝓶𝓮𝓭 𝓾𝓹 👇
This past Virgo season, I embarked on a journey of devotion and self-discovery. Saturn in Pisces in my 6th house guides me to find structure and spirituality in my daily life, while my natal Neptune in Capricorn in my 4th house encourages me to nurture a stable and grounded home environment as i didn’t have access to this as a young child.
I receive support through assertiveness and independence in my partnerships, especially with 𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓼 ruling my 7th house. My leadership qualities in my social circles (11th house) are emphasized by the 2 of 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓼, and my past experiences have prepared me for this role.

I made a RWBY AU a while back and now I'm back on my RWBY bend because beautiful art and stuff for it.
So enjoy me sharing the Bs stuff I made for it. Including art made from a basic body base for making clothing adopts and things like that. :D
I will prewarn, RWBY RP Twitter thought it was a p cool story so who knows how it works here.
CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING: Violence, talk about death, not exactly graphic but death specifications, and a lot of kinda dark things.
Tumblr media
When Yang was young, she lost her arm to a random criminal who broke into their house while protecting Ruby. That was strike 1. Strike 2 what's when Summer died. The last straw was when she learned that Raven was still alive, but had abandoned her and Tai.
This all made for a terribly horrid child. She would lash out, bully, and harm others. She got grounded at about age 12 for almost stabbing Ruby.
Yang ran away that night, leaving her "family" behind. She didn't need them. She just needed to become stronger. Family was just a weakness.
About a year later, she met Cinder, who had just been found by Salem, and they became good friends. Cinder would train with Yang and help her with controling her emotional outbursts.
Around the time that Ruby meets Roman, Yang is hanging with Neo when Raven comes to visit. Raven tries to persuade Yang to give up the life of crime and villainy while Neo was out of the room. Yang, unamused, didn't allow herself to "fall" for Raven's words.
With Raven distracted, Neo snuck in and stabbed Yang's mother, before handing over the blade to Yang.
"Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you," Yang asked her mother.
"Because you can't control the power I possess," Raven replied.
"All the more reason to kill you," Yang spat back, before decapitating her mother, gaining the Spring maiden powers.
Cinder learned about this, and took her to Salem, who immediately agreed for the two to become her maiden power bearers.
Meanwhile, RWBY without the y has a non named y character. Seasons 1-2 kind of run the same, but with the unnamed y character taking Yang's place. Around the time Qrow shows his face, Yang, Cinder, Merc and Em are all getting ready for the Vytal Fest.
Fast forward to the fall of Beacon. Ruby uses her silver eye power, and is just about to faint when Cinder calls for Yang. Yang went to Cinder and helped her, glaring at Ruby. "This is why family doesn't work. They get in your way," was all Yang said before Ruby fainted.
The only difference between seasons 4-6 is that Ruby now knows Yang exists and Qrow is ready to fight her, knowing that she killed his sister.
Then comes Atlas, where she pretends to be a "good guy" to sneak into the Army and get the lamp. It ultimately fails because Cinder and Neo show up, but she doesn't care. They were more family than Ruby, Qrow and Tai were.
She misses the chance to get the Winter maiden's power for either herself or Cinder.
Tumblr media
I kinda only have that and I made it for an event thing so uh... Anyway.. here's the art and this is the link for the base.
Tumblr media

Age: 23
Gender: Female
Alliance: Salem
Weapon Name: Golden Fire
Height: 5'8 (1.73 meters)
Weight: 135 lbs (61.25 kg)
Semblance: Burn
Honestly, it's not much. This was the icon I made for the thing.
Tumblr media
I made that then the full body thing. Eh. I'm working on things.
Tumblr media
Anyway, it's cool, I guess. Might write things about it. What do you guess think? Lemme know. Yeah. Anyway. Bye!

Well since I'm a Lana Del Rey stan, but also an MCU stan with an exceptional taste for both Stephen Strange and Wanda Maximoff. Here's a Lana Del Rey playlist for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness vibe along the storyline
1. hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it
"Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not, but at best I can say I'm not sad"
2. Million Dollar Man
"You've got the world, but baby, at what price?
Something so strange, hard to define"
3. Dark Paradise
"There's no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody's rushing me, I can feel you touching me
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I'm fine"
4. Terrence Loves You
"And I lost myself when I lost you"
"I put the radio on, hold you tight in my mind
Isn't strange that you're not here with me?
But I know the lights on in the television
Tryin' to transmit 'can you hear me?'"
5. How To Disappear
"Jim met me down at the training yard
Got cuts on his face 'cause he fought too hard
I know he's in over his head"
6. Old Money
"Where have you been? Where did you go?
Those summer nights seem long ago"
7. Gods And Monsters
"In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel
Living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon"
8. High By The Beach
"The truth is I never bought into your bullshit when you would pay tribute to me 'cause I know that"
9. Season Of The Witch
"Oh no, must be the season of the witch"
10. Is This Happiness
"Witch hazel, witch hazel
Betrayal, betrayal"
11. Doin' Time
"Evil, I've come to tell you that she's evil, most definitely
Evil, ornery, scandalous, and evil, most definitely"
12. Serial Killer
"Baby, I'm a sociopath, sweet serial killer"
13. Beautiful People Beautiful Problems
"'cause we're just beautiful people with beautiful problems
Beautiful problems, God knows we've got them"
14. Queen Of Disaster
"You're the king and baby, I'm the queen of disaster"
15. In My Feelings
"'cause you've got me in my feelings
Talking in my sleep again
Drown out all our screaming
Who's doper than this bitch? Who's free-er than me?
You wanna make the switch? Be my guest, baby"
16. Body Electric
"I sing the body electric"
17. Thunder
"You roll like thunder
When you come crashing in
Town ain't been the same
Since you left with all your friends"
18. Yosemite
"We've done it for fun, we've done it for free
I showed up for you, you showed up for me
We did it for the right reasons"
19. Cherry Blossom
"And when you're scared, I'll be right here
You feel afraid, mommy is there
It's a cruel, cruel world, but we don't care
'cause what we've got, we've got to share"
20. Black Beauty
"Oh what can I do, life is beautiful, and you don't have a clue
Sun and ocean blue, their magnificence, it don't make sense to you"
21. Swan Song
"And I will never sing again, and you won't work another day
And I will never sing again, with just one wave, it goes away
It will be our swan song"
22. Summertime Sadness
"Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know, that baby you're the best"
23. God Knows I Tried
"God knows I lived
God knows I died
God knows I begged
Begged, borrowed, and cried
God knows I loved
God knows I lies
God knows I lost
God gave me life
And God knows I tried
God knows I tried"
24. Get Free
"Finally, I'm crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world, to the reveal of my heart"
