Some pre-epilogue thoughts I had about a slightly timeskipped Vacuo Oscar (not sure how long RWBYJ was gone canonically, but my personal conjecture was around 8 months?). Based off the idea I had that the Vacuo crew chooses to add some element of their lost-and-presumed-dead friends into their everyday attire, whether their colors or symbols or both, to honor their memories.
- etched his lost companions’ symbols into the leather upper of his once-coat-now-vest: Jaune and Ruby are over his right and left breasts respectively, Penny is left shoulder, Yang is right, Blake and Weiss are on his back (Blake is next to Yang’s symbol, naturally). Ruby’s over his heart because I’m Rosegarden trash yes BUT ALSO he’s closer to her and Jaune than any of the rest so they’d get top billing regardless amirite
- removed the sleeves and tails of his coat and let out the sides, both to accommodate the climate and his own growth spurts in the time passed.
- sleeveless gloves for less sweaty fingers
-undercut maybe? I see y’all’s Vacuo Ponytail Oscars, and they are Powerful, but I raise you ‘an Oscar who doesn’t want extra hair on his neck when it’s a bajillion degrees out’
- not pictured: maybe a hip-length tan cloak and goggles for sun/sandstorm protection as necessary

The lack of confirmation of Nobara's status leads me to believe Gege has something planned for her as the end of the Everyone vs Sukuna battle Aka the "Decisive Battle" draws to an end. This situation totally reminds me of the "Enchain" plot thread. It felt for a long stretch of the manga like Gege had even forgotten about the Enchain binding vow.
Except he hadn't.
The hush-hush around Nobara might be due to a similar situation. It might mean that she will be a key player to defeat Sukuna. OR she might be part of the conclusion of the story in a different way like bringing a ray of sunshine and hope to the fandom with just the confirmation of her survival, after Gege breaks our hearts one last time before the manga's end lol.

nate being the only doctor makes me wonder what he's had to do for the others before
Nate does a lot for the crew. (Also woo look at his human disguise!)
When he's not actively treating or checking on them, he's constantly working to compare studies and test data to understand how to treat his friends, seeing as they have widely different genetic makeups and could react in ways that are *catastrophically* unexpected.
He can't use human rules when working on them, which greatly complicates things when he's educated in treating humans. Sera and Vince naturally have nucleated blood cells for greater oxygen input since they're always in rigorous activity, but this is a sign of leukemia or other major deficiency in humans. How do drugs interact with their bodies? what reaction will their immune systems have? do they have an intolerance to certain chemical developments?
This is partly why Vincent underwent so much testing and experimentation- to catalogue and document an atlas for the reproduction and understanding of this hybrid Variant species, and how every facet of its anatomy works in that respect. Like a rough draft you don't care about messing up, and use only to learn from.
Sorry Vince.
It's a wonder how Nathaniel was able to successfully recompile enough information to save his friends at all. It's a lot of stress on one guy with no nurses! That goes without saying for Amon (who is a beastshifter) Sonia... (Who is a living chemical synthesis lab) The various other people who end up joining... (Who shall remain incognito)
...Yikes.
He has likely seen all of them naked at least once, due to emergencies. He's extremely professional, so it's like it never happened... But it's still never fun to have to use that kind of ER protocol on your injured friends and associates.
Everyone except for Vincent, since V never lets Nathaniel treat him for anything, even when he needs it.
Instead, everyone caught a harrowing and unwanted glimpse of Vincent when he landed back home after streaking in the rain. He now flies with his pants duct-taped on. And goggles. For the glare and the overwhelming surplus of bugs he slams into at twice the speed of a f1 car.

people who actually believe that theory that usopp will die to prove he's a brave warrior of the sea is so ridiculous when oda can't even kill a giant who was in a flashback 22 years ago

The Scions' opinions of important political meetings and Alliance war councils, a thread:
Estinien: if Aymeric won't be there, okeydokey, whatever 👍 but if Aymeric WILL be there, absolutely not!! being subjected to questions like "my friend! what've you been up to?" and "how are you?" is more than he feels like dealing with tbh. also if he has to suffer Aymeric bullying him about his lack of money sense one more time he's dragoon jumping out the window
Krile: politics aren't my forte but if you need me to, I'll go :)
Alisaie: UUUUGGGHHHH [bangs head on table]
Alphinaud: this is his natural habitat. it is also where he's most powerful, so beware !!
Thancred: putting that PhD in espionage to good use and helping his friends/allies in so doing is good for his health (and his self-esteem)
Y'shtola: sometimes it's a tasty problem to chew on and sometimes it's just annoying. if Garlemald is involved, it's probably the latter
Urianger: he's been invited to exactly two meetings out of like 30 and only attended one (and showed up unannounced to another). he'd rather stay home and do nerd shit or go scouting with Thancred. we stan an introverted nerd king ✌️
G'raha Tia: just happy to be brought along for the ride ❤️ no situation is unbearable so long as he's by his inspiration's side 😊
O'ravi: [doodling chibis of her friends on the back of a report and scribbling hearts around them] wydm this is "work", i'm just hanging out with my boyfriend and my besties

when I was a small child, I was the unenviable combination of "loves particularly haunting ghost stories" and "is incredibly terrified of everything and cries a lot."
these days my mom is constantly like YOU??? WERE READING WHAT????
I was basically a nervous wreck at all times, and it was mostly because I was constantly reading things that as an adult I reread like "wait what the fuck?" lmao

Getting close to the end of that list now, but for the February ficlets prompt:
a charmed one with their ex bf in an unexpected situation (gen, again dealers choice of who)
Pairing: Paige Matthews & Glen Belland
Background Pairings: Paige Matthews/Henry Mitchell & Glen Belland/Jessica Belland
"Paige!"
The call was loud enough that several people looked over in annoyance, but Paige couldn't have cared less. Glen swept her into a hug while she laughed against his shoulder.
It'd been ages since she'd seen him, and so much had happened since. He seemed to agree as he pulled back, hands on her shoulders, and demanded, "You faked your death?"
"I can explain!" Paige immediately exclaimed.
"And were working for Homeland Security? When did that happen? And-" Finally noticing Henry standing behind Paige, he furrowed his brow and nodded towards him. "And whose that?"
Stepping back, Paige couldn't help her uncharacteristically shy smile as she introduced him. "Henry, this is Glen, my best friend. Glen, this is Henry. My husband."
"What?" Glen squawked.

You know, I am perhaps morbidly curious about what a fall like that would've done to Mine. Because I've seen a ballistics dummy (whose joints were admittedly not reinforced in true-to-life fashion) fall from twenty feet and its entire arm and lower legs just... came off... and the impact exerted "38,000 pounds of pressure" on its head. But I'm also aware of cases where the body was almost pristine, at least to the naked eye. But also... Nay, I shan't say.
In the case of his survival though, I do completely agree with anon--discounting injuries to the head and chest, the most common less-lethal injuries are to the spine, pelvis, and limbs. So there must be lasting damage aside from the bullet wounds. As such, Mine with a Sick-Ass Wheelchair has been a favorite of mine for years. RGG's universe is a bit more advanced than ours medically and technologically, too, so I'm also partial to cyborg Mine.
I honestly don't care (just kidding I do) as long as he survived lol, whatever explanation they come up with I'll accept blindly. But I do think it would be funny for Mine to end up in a coma for years while he Went And Did All That because Daigo was in a coma for a week.
i've been morbidly curious myself about the survivability of falls from X heights and it definitely is possible to survive even things like skydiving gone wrong, so it's not out of the realm of possibility of mine to walk away (or. not walk away depending on the injury) relatively fine
