True Self

I think a lot of the strange sounding cavalier names come from numeral prefixes which come from Sanskrit instead of Latin or Greek like most English speakers would be used to. For example:

dvi- is the prefix for two, probably where Dve comes from

catur- is four, and becomes Chatur

asta- is eight, and becomes Asht

nava- is nine, and becomes Nav

Nigella is still confusing, because her name still means sixteen instead of aligning with one of the houses. Maybe she was the 16th and final member to join the original Lyctors/cavaliers or something? I don’t know if there’s an official cannon order on how they joined, but that’s the only significant use of the number 16 I can think of.

i have a question about jon's naming convention of people. like. whole numerical thing is another thing i have thoughts about but. how many languages he knew?

bcs pyrrha surname "dve" feels like it came straight outta slavic mouth. two - russian "dva" - dve.

nigella surname is shodash, hindi word for 16. not even six. sixteen.

why do these two stick out? other cavs surnames have latin roots as far as i know. is it miss tamsyn ideas overruling the question 'how the would he know these words if every dictionary is burnt with apocalypse?' is it intentional?

Love that Gavilar spends the entire Stormlight 5 prologue thinking about how much better and closer to divinity he is than everyone he interacts with, but the people he interacts with are, in order (spoilers below the cut):

Keep reading

honestly lockwood & co would have ended at least 10 times over if the entire main cast weren’t 1) chronic rule breakers, and 2) borderline arsonists

I love Anthony Lockwood because every time his team think they're fucked he's like "or... are we?" as he gets some explosives out of his pockets

Scientists need to find a way for me to read every single fantasy book ever written and still have time to reread my favorites and read non-fantasy books. This is what really matters

god sometimes i just want someone to hug me like they’re trying their hardest to crush my ribs for like 45 minutes

We need a digital archive of LGBTQ+ works of art, science, and every other conceivable work we can share between each other because we are beyond the genocide warning level in most countries in the west and they're already trying to purge us from libraries.

I’m always a slut for libraries with beautiful architecture

if we want to get technical there is also the ice queendom anime spinoff which, while not fully canon, is canon compliant (as in it doesn’t technically contradict official canon material, and thus could theoretically have occurred within the canon) and that adapts volumes one and two before adding extra material between volumes two and three, slotting in alongside the beacon arc chronologically, but watchable whenever you want considering the non-canon status

Hey question, you like rwby right? I know there’s books and stuff to read separately from the main show, but what’s the timeline?

Yeah I love RWBY! (don’t get me started on my pre-packaged rants I have about just everything)

So we have the main 9 volumes that you’re gonna wanna watch ahead of everything else, BUT the books, movies, and short stories take place in between so here’s a list of CHRONOLOGICAL order

World of Remnant short episodes, all expositional episodes about the world

Roman Holiday spin off book

Volume One

Volume Two

Volume Three

RWBY anthology manga series

RWBY Chibi comedy series

Volume Four

After the Fall spin off book

DC comics

Volume Five

Before the Dawn spin off book

More DC comics

Volume Six

Volume Seven

RWBY/Justice League movie number one (not canon)

Volume Eight

Volume Nine

RWBY/Justice League movie number two (not canon)

Now, if I’ve missed anything or something’s out of order, someone please correct me 😭

NOTE: the World of Remnant short episodes were released alongside volumes 2, 3, and 4 and could also be considered part of those volumes on the timeline

NOTE: the anthology series takes place during volumes 1, 2, and 3 and could also be considered part of those volumes on the timeline

EDIT NOTE: I forgot about the DC comics 😭 thank you for reminding me! I haven’t actually read them, so I’m not sure what they’re about entirely nor who they feature, but this is my reminder to go actually check them out lmao

But ultimately, the order I think you should consume the series in??

Volume one

Volume two (and watching World of Remnant as you go)

Volume three (and watching WoR as you go)

RWBY Chibi to cheer yourself up

Volume four (and watching WoR as you go)

After the Fall

Volume five

Volume six

Before the Dawn

Volume seven

Volume eight

Roman Holiday

Volume nine

and sprinkle in the Justice League movies/anthology manga if you wanna

Out of curiosity rb and put in the tags how many fics come up when you type your last name into ao3. Apparently even though my last name is uncommon there's like 500
