Well, That Last Anon Must Be Fun At Parties...You Doing Alright, Mate? Anything We Can Do To Help Lift

Well, that last Anon must be fun at parties...You doing alright, mate? Anything we can do to help lift your spirits amidst all the IRL bullshit?

I’m doing okay, Joe! But thank you very much for your concern! I thank everybody for the concern they showed me after that anon ask. I truly appreciate it. 

Please go check out the show!!! It’s really good and fun if you want something easy to watch!

you know what’s really good is this new show Epithet Erased, which i’ve reblogged some stuff about before. broad description… it’s an adaptation of a friend group’s anime kitchen sink tabletop campaign, apparently, so what it boils down to is a bunch of wacky characters with strange powers squaring off against each other and getting involved in hijinks. there’s not much of a hook, but it’s just… really charming and funny. check out these character intro cards:

it’s got this kind of low-budget limited animation style, akin to sort of a puppet show with visual novel portraits, but they have a really good sense of where to put in the effort with the visuals, so it all holds together surprisingly well. excellent comedy writing and stellar voice acting just really make it work. i’m hoping it gets greenlit for a second season soon.

it’s fairly short- seven 20-minute episodes on youtube and VRV. here, check out the first episode and see how it treats you:

Babey Overlords AU where Oscar and Ruby switch places with Salem and Oscar respectively and are looking to take over the world. Because Oscar is in the castle most of the time, his outfit doesn’t change as much but I am looking to give more outfits in the future. 

Tell us more about baby overlords? Why did they decide? Where is Ozpin and salem? How cute are they together? Relationship dynamic? So many questions

Oh, wow, I really wasn’t expecting anyone to actually ask about the babeys XDDD

Now, I will preface this by saying that this AU is heavily influenced by @bastart13‘s Reverse RWBY AU. So, if you see similarities between their AU and mine, it’s not a coincidence. I think their reverse rwby au is cool as jazz and couldn’t resist. 

Ruby Rose is young and bright but is heavily contrasted by how deluded and crazy she is. Her mother, Summer Rose, died as a result of Salem and Vale’s system, resulting Ruby in having a long-standing grudge against Salem as well as institutes of power because she believes they are corrupt. Taiyang didn’t take Summer dying very well and Yang and Raven didn’t have much of a positive adult influence in their life growing up, with Raven and Taiyang having a very bad divorce and Qrow running the Branwen Tribe. Ruby wanted to give the world a Happily Ever After no matter what, everybody should be happy and nobody will suffer like she did ever again. 

Oscar Pine became the host of the Oz Collective at a very young age and their knowledge and power broke him. He was scared of himself, of the Oz Collective ... Until he met Ruby Rose, who lit a light to the dark shadows surrounding. Oscar found drive, and slowly gained more confidence in himself. Due to the Oz Collective’s shared memories and influence, Oscar wants to take over the world and believes Ruby’s Happily Ever After is the way to do that. Eventually Oscar consumes the Oz Collective and stands as the dominant soul above all of them. Ruby and Oscar will have their Happily Ever After and they’ll be the King and Queen of the new world. 

Oscar and Ruby are nuts but they are nuts together. Ruby wants everything to be roses and sunshine and she was okay just giving the world a Happily Ever After, as warped as her view of it is. But then Oscar was like “no, no, no, let’s rule it to make sure everything goes well”. 

Their relationship is like chess, with Ruby being the Queen, doing most of the field work to get the maiden powers and relics meanwhile Oscar is the King plans from at home in their castle and developing a ... secret weapon of sorts. 

As a sharp contrast to Salem’s relationship with Oz and Cinder in canon, Oscar and Ruby stand as equals, helping and supporting each other. They’re sickeningly sweet with each other. Believe it or not, it’s actually difficult to plan villainous schemes because these two keep being all lovey-dovey by holding hands, saying sweet nothings and giving widdle eskimo kisses. 

They are so in love and would never think of hurting the other. They’ll even have cake and tea as the whole world burns down around them. 

Oh! And Salem takes the place of Ozpin. She’s had a few staged “deaths” throughout the ages to lay low a few times. While she is the headmistress of Beacon, she’s also the dorm mother of Beacon, and is quite involved in her students’ lives. Some say she’s like a second mother. 

Ozpin before he checked out and got his soul eaten by Oscar plotted dastardly schemes and was a devastatingly handsome crime boss. Clearly, he was too pretty to have his existence continued, and died. 

Feel free to ask more if you have any questions uwu

Hey I was just wondering something, how old is Oscar in your Beloved comic? It was said that Ruby is 18, but is he still younger than her?

Yes, he is! Oscar is 16 while Ruby is 18! The classic set up of ‘Notice me Senpai’. But, you know, there are healthier ways of getting senpai to notice you that isn’t kidnapping them and locking them up in your basement.
