Lizzie Can't Hear The Narrator, But She Regularly Uses The Narrator To Give Instantaneous Messages To

Lizzie can't hear the Narrator, but she regularly uses the Narrator to give instantaneous messages to Maddie and Kitty. It's faster than using her phone, and more fun. "Omniscient voice that only Maddie and Kitty can hear! Tell them I'm working on a project in the Grove and will be unable to meet them in the tea shop as we planned!"

“At seven, she became a dragonrider, taking to the sky on the young dragon she named Syrax.”

my fave branwen things:

raven has red eyes and lightish red aura & qrow has lightish red eyes and red aura

hero / monster dichotomy

"the branwen twins have always been... interesting, to say the least." <- thank you oobleck for the food

their weapons are named harbinger & omen, like who came up with the name first and who followed along or was it a team effort? i need answers.

what is up with their semblances, they're so in sync in the angstiest way possible that i'm just AUGH

speaking of angst: their backstory is painful but also super interesting to explore. would like to see it one day :')

they really are birds

no thoughts head empty the oppressive stagnancy of legacy in ever after high dragging me round the block yet again

it’s such a shame that we get so little explanation about the actual mechanics of destiny, which is the entire premise of the show, bc it’s so juicy. like what power does destiny hold when you rip away milton’s lies and centuries of assumptions and traditions. esp bc despite raven signing herself as the evil queen in the real storybook of legends, when the snow white fairytale actually happens in dragon games she’s playing one of the seven dwarves and her mother has reprised her role. like how much of that was because of the characters’ actions and how much was destiny pulling on old, familiar threads. keeps me up at night.

a lot of this is probably just like, plot holes and writer hot potato but i like making it that deep, that’s half of the fun. my personal interpretation is that fate is a wild thing that desires repetition and they developed the system of fairytale legacy bloodlines to keep those repetitions predictable and contained, instead of wreaking havoc whenever and wherever they please. 

which lends itself to some really juicy exploration of how legacy is a duty as much as it is a privilege, and how to be a princess or a witch or a hero or a dragon is to be the same thing in the end: the lamb destiny slaughters on the altar to sate the ever-ravenous narrative. to keep the flock safe. keep the unknown that prowls beyond the beaten path at bay. because if a there is always a mother who will be cruel, or a maiden who will fall into a sleep like death, or a child who will become a bird, isn’t it better to know who, and how, and when? isn’t better if it’s you, who has known your whole life that you must be eaten, be poisoned, be stripped of your humanity, rather than anybody else, who wasn’t raised to see it as an honour instead of a great and terrible injustice?
