I think there’s something interesting about the implication that the gods created the Ever After as a world where nobody can die and the residents all have resurrective immortality, then decided it was unsatisfactory and left.
They then made the world that would become Remnant, that has death. But then among the gods’ final acts there are to make one person regeneratively immortal, and another resurrectively immortal.
I just don’t know what that something interesting is.

I'm having Thoughts about Penny right now.
How Penny's old body was destroyed only for her to be reborn in a new one, changed in some ways but still fundamentally the same person, twice. How she was gone but not dead, and how she would be back. How her soul is who she is, and how her soul originally came from someone else's aura—transformed, changed, to create something new.
As I'm starting to digest Volume 9, I feel like the cycle of Penny's deaths and rebirths so far (killed during the Fall of Beacon and rebuilt by Pietro, then her old body destroyed by the virus during Creation while her soul created a new one for herself) looks... a lot like Afteran ascension, actually.
I don't claim to know if she's coming back or not since I'm just some dude and I don't write for the show, but I think it could open up some interesting parallels thematically if she did. Does that break the balance of life and death the Brother Gods created? Would she bring the whole thing full circle, accidentally returning herself to the way souls work in the Ever After? How would she compare to the two other characters in the series that have either died repeatedly or become immortal?
Salem is just as much of an abberration to the Ever After's cycle of ascension as she is to Remnant's balance between life and death, a being that doesn't die but also cannot ascend, does not change, simply stagnates forever. Meanwhile the Brother Gods gave Ozma a style of immortality also very similar to ascension, in that he's changed each time. It was only the curse they gave Salem that caused that endless stagnation.
Like... the Brothers made up death. That was all them, from the Jabberwalker to the cycle of life and death on Remnant. And considering the way they retaliated against Salem for trying to disrupt that cycle by... *checks notes* disrupting that cycle and making her immortal??? it might be kind of interesting to see a character break that cycle herself, without the Brothers' help. Especially if they do wind up coming back.
Idk, I just think it's neat!

But it was salem ignorence that cause all of this sure what the gods did to her was awful but they right you cant just play with life and death (also they punish her the second time she try it when she talk to the god of darkness) if ruby will bring penny back it would mean that salem is right and the gods are wrong
Anon, I rewatched the segment with the brother gods and I recommend you do too. You wanna talk about playing with life and death?
How's this: the brother gods, after committing genocide on humanity, talk about how this was an interesting experiment but they'll go to other planets now because this one's a Remnant of what it once was. You know, because they committed genocide?
They created an entire sentient species to worship them, and then when a few groups of that sentient species did something they didn't like? They killed everyone.
So yeah, there was a lot of playing with life and death going on there. All of humanity was an experiment to them.
It's not Salem's ignorance that caused all this. This happened because the brother gods were so mad at a grieving woman tricking them into bringing her husband back to life that they decided to punish her. And the god of darkness explicitly says that this means she'll never be able to see her husband again! He knows how horrible that is!
So yeah, it would mean the gods were wrong. Because they are wrong.
What Salem is doing now? Yeah that's really bad. Obviously. But back then, she was a grieving woman who wanted to bring back this one person who she loved. And had the brother gods just told her she wouldn't be able to contact them again, that would have been that. Maybe she would have lived, maybe she would have tried to join Ozma in the afterlife, to put it mildly. Even immortal, that was what she initially tried to do.
The brother gods play with life and death constantly. All of humanity was their game with life and death. When talking to each other the god of light says that it's a balance they agreed on. It was their choice. They didn't punish Salem for playing with life and death, they punished her for tricking them and wrapped it in a bow of learning about the meaning of life and death. But really, they were mad that she tricked them.
Salem wasn't wrong for trying to get her husband back, the gods were wrong to punish her.
I don't know if they should have brought Ozma back, but they sure as hell shouldn't have made Salem immortal about it. Or killed everyone after she gathered some of humanity to fight them in an attempt that was completely incapable of doing any damage.
#rwby#rwby spoilers#because it's related to a spoiler post#salem#ozma#the brother gods#ask#anon ask#anon was I really not clear enough in my post that I think salem was right and the gods were wrong#you say that like it's an argument against bringing penny back#when my point was that the statement is correct and bringing penny back would show that#I think that's a pretty clear stance#it's no coincidence that these are two extraordinarily powerful men who use that power to hurt a young woman either#male authority figures (which. is kind of all of them?) are not to be trusted in rwby#I cannot think of any that hold true institutional power that can be trusted#and especially with ironwood recently in mind it seems clear that this is a pattern#initially friendly seeming until you don't do what /he/ wants#and then you get to find out how much he's willing to hurt you to get what he wants#or even just to punish someone

Ever After: What will happen to the Curious Cat
So, with the RWBY volume 9 finale approaching, I thought I would talk about some potential end game scenarios for the Curious Cat.
Scenario 1: The Curious Cat dies
Now when I say die here I mean cease to exist. To put it in another way, something stops the curious cat from ascending.
Now there are three ways I think this could occur:
The first is dependent on the Jabberwalker still being alive which is still an open question. Now assuming Neopolitan was not quite overzealous in beating her frustration into the Jabberwalker, they would have to find a way from their acre to the tree. Which would be no simple task since I think it's pretty safe to assume that the Jabberwalker can't freely go to the tree whenever they want. Which would mean: the Jabberwalker either found a way to the tree on their own or followed WBYJ in. The latter running into the problem that the Jabberwalker vocalizes all their actions.
The second way is that Neopolitan did kill the Jabberwalker and inherited their powers. This would require Neopolitan to break free of CC's control and end the cat's existence herself. However, I don't think that course of action would necessarily go well with RWBYJ.
The third way would be that for whatever reason, CC can't ascend. Be that because of something the brother gods did or something CC did themselves.
Scenario 2: The Curious Cat Ascends
Now there is already precedence for this: both the Paper Pleasers and Herbalist have ascended. So, in theory all that would have to happen is that CC takes enough damage that they "die" which would lead to the Blacksmith fixing them up and CC finding their purpose again.
Scenario 3: The Curious Cat comes with RWBYJ(N?)
For this one the idea would be that CC is removed from Neopolitan's body and talked down by RWBYJ. Ruby promises to reunite CC with the gods so they can ask why their creators left them. At which point they leave for Remnent with or without Neopolitan. What I find fascinating about this possible scenario is how it will set up the end game with the Brother Gods.
We have this trifecta of individuals who have been psychologically traumatized by the gods. CC was abandoned likely before the creation of Remanent which could be eons before the start of the show. Salem was cursed with immortality after she attacked the gods for repeatedly resurrecting and destroying Ozma. Ozma was given a kind of immortality as well as a nigh impossible task.
Together they represent three instances the Brother Gods were poor stewards of their creations. I feel this will help make the case of why Humanity, Faunus and Afterans should be able to govern their own destinies.

RWBY - A thought I had about Salem’s plan…
So, at this point in the show, we still don’t really know why Salem wants the four relics, but we can extrapolate some theories based on what we’ve seen.
Option A) Salem just wants power for its own sake to help her conquer Remnant.
Option B) Salem wants a rematch with the Gods and she has a plan in place that might make things go her way this time.
Option C) Salem wants to die, and she is so far beyond the point of caring whether or not she takes all of Remnant with her.
Personally, I think Option C is the most likely. Option A isn’t all that interesting and I can’t think of anything Salem might have built up that could close the wide gap between her and the Gods.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Salem is kinda screwed either way.
Let’s play pretend for a bit and assume the show ends with Salem winning. She collects the four relics, the Gods return and deem humanity wanting and, as they promised, destroy Remnant.
Here’s the thing, the Gods are the ones who made Salem immortal in the first place, and they did it specifically as a punishment to ‘teach her the importance of life and death’.
Sooo… What’s stopping the Gods from just… keeping her alive even after they destroy Remnant? Like, they could just teleport Salem to some other planet and then destroy Remnant. Or they could just have Salem floating through the vacuum of space, still just as immortal as ever.
I don’t think Salem really thought this through…

In the Redux, do the gods have names that aren’t just the Younger Brother and Older Brother or the Brothers Grimm?
They do, in fact.
The Younger Brother is called Kvetch, and the Elder Brother is called Indohyon.
Their names are pronounced /kvɛt͡ʃ/ and /ɪndoʊhaɪjɑn/.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt
#talk tag#IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME#(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still)#(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'')#GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!!#one time i saw that a person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi.#they are TWIN BROTHERS.#not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this.#just horrible#also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

People should make more doomed by narratives siblings relationship.
Like with lovers you can just sever it and not have it related to you ever again but with siblings how could you?
You grow up with them you raise them or they raised you you both know how unforgiving the world is to both of you? You would die for them but will hate them for doing the same and yet none of you would regret it and both of you know it. They could be the person you loath the most and miss the most cause you still remember how they sneaked a candy into your hands. You can sever the tie but you can never look away at what you've lost, at whom you've lost because fate doesn't allow you to be together, eating dinners in quiet peace, if only there's another life, another time, where i can make you another plate of pancakes i would im sorry im sorry im sorry —
#[borealis.txt]#sorry um. got feels again#just. aughhhhhhhhh#like genyas and sanemis relationship and the brothers in sctir#theyre so fuckin tragic cause god. aaaaaaaaaaaaa#'because my nemi is the best brother' WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!!!#edit: alright you guys can rb this again cause im feeling charitable

Why are there so many gods here?
SO! One day, the Eternal Trio decided to Check if they had ant past lives using Magic.
They already knew that Tucker was the Reincarnation of some Pharoah, so maybe they were also some historical figures in a last life.
It does not go as expected.
Danny finds out that he was the Ancient of Space, and the reason Clockwork was so invested in keeping him from being erased from Time is because he's his Brother apparently.
Sam finds out that she was the Embodiment of The Green, and Undergrowths attempt at Adopting her was some scheme to become the Parent of his used-to-be Queen while she was in Mortal Form, therefore overthrowing her.
Tucker finds out that Duulaman was just one in a long line of the Reincarnations of the Sun God Ra, and that he had been quite a few more historical figures in the Past.
They were surprised to figure this out, but then they got curious.
They tested the Spell out on Jazz, and found that she used to be an Amazonian Goddess, alongside Pandora.
They test it on Dash, and find that he used to be Hermes, God of Travel and Speed.
Ellie was an Embodiment of something called the Speed Force, who was also a child of Space before their rebirth, apparently.
They slowly realize that almost every person of note in Amity Park is the Reincarnation of some kind of God or Spirit. And none of them seem to realize that.
Why are there so many reborn Gods in this town?
...
Constantine is actually asking himself the EXACT same question at that very moment, after a botched teleportation spell landed him in Amity Park.
#Dpxdc#Dp x dc#Dcxdp#Dc x dp#Danny Phantom#Dc#Dcu#Danny is the Ancient of Space#Sam is the Green#Tucker is actually Ra#Jazz is an Amazon Goddess#I would say she's artemis but idk if she is still active in DC comics since all Google tells me about is the Hero named Artemis#Dash is Hermes#It's just a play on his name#Ellie is the Speedforce#The Speedforce used to be the child of Space#And Niece of Time#Clockwork is Danny's brother#Space and Time are equals after all#Maybe Vlad can be a reborn God as well#Maybe he's Set? Or Ares after Diana kills him? His soul just got reborn at a different point in time.#Everyone in Amity Park is a Reincarnated God#For some reason#Honestly it was all a complete coincidence#None of them knew that the others were gonna Reincarnate in the same town as them#Dealers choice if they get their powers back once they find out
