it impresses and terrifies me in equal measure that japanese is the only language in the world where you might have to use three different writing systems in a single sentence
Currently living in Japan and studied Japanese last month. They also have 500 ways to count things and if you use the wrong system you sound dumb lol. There are names for numbers, floors, small objects, big objects, round objects, people, animals- the list goes on.
Being an adult recovering from growing up in a volatile home is really draining because I’m so ready to settle down with someone who I share mutual love and respect with and maybe have a child who I can show the unconditional love and support and provide the resources that I so desperately craved. But I’m also so repelled and not willing to potentially relive the same situation I grew up in. I want to be treated softly.
Sometimes i think about how so much of RWBY was probably inspired by Zelda. (Maybe not but I’m a hardcore zelda fan, and i will associate everything i like) and i love it bc it’s not…too obvious? Like, you can clearly point out the similarities and even after noticing them you don’t see RWBYs story as a copy or anything (bc this is probably a strech BUT I DONT CARE)
The two brothers /the spirits of the relics -> the three goddeses
The blacksmith / the brothers -> hylia
The two brothers represent different aspects of life and the world -> so do the brothers, they divide their work
The triforce -> the relics
Gathering all of them has very important and potentially horrible consequences but it also can be used for good -> both the triforce and the relics
The pieces by itself can grant some sort of power or effect on the wielder -> the pieces of the triforce represent the goddeses and grant powers (using the light power, super strength, being able to wield a legendary weapon) / each relic has it’s own purpose
An innocent soul drunken by power who is also a victim of an ancient god-like entity who seeks reuniting all the pieces of the triforce/relics -> salem / ganondorf
Someone who ended up being cursed to live again and again and again, as a mortal inmortal being whose purpose is to stop the great evil that is threatening the world -> hylia / zelda and ozma
Hm, and somebody innocent who due to this original curse was thrown into all this mess, starting to aquire memories from years and years and decades and centuries before they were born that belong to someone that is merging with them so that innocent person becomes the next soul in the curse and has to stop this great evil because is their fate? -> zelda (skyward sword) and oscar I’m looking at you two
And you’re telling me that there were lies and manipulation involved? -> zelda again and ozpin I’m looking at you both
And who did you involved in all this? A brave warrior with a heart of gold and a simple and peaceful background and life who ALSO HAPPENS to be gifted at fighting who carries something unique, the only thing capable of harming that great evil?? Hmmm… -> ruby, link, I’m looking at you both
And you’re telling me that having that thing is not as easy as it seems and you need to unlock it and learn how to unleash it’s true potential? -> maybe like the silver eyes? Or maybe the master sword?
And you’re telling me that these two souls are bonded by fate to meet and have A LOT of pararells and they complement each other? -> ruby and oscar I’m looking at you
And you’re telling me that their story resembles and is a pararell to the original story of lovers? -> ozma/Salem - ruby/Oscar and the first link/hylia -zelda/link
And you’re telling me that the soul who merges with this magical ancient being also carries light themed magic? -> zelda? Oscar? Explain
AND YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT EVEN IF THERE’S A MAIN HERO, THEY CANNOT DO IT ALONE AND THEY NEED HELP?
Hmmm like RUBY AND ALL HER TEAMMATES AND LINK AND HIS COMPANIONS?
Oh, and you’re also telling me that there are very important and powerful people who carry a fraction of the power of the gods? Like the maidens? Or like maybe the sages? (I’m not including the champions bc botw came out after rwby)
So yeah, there’s some similarities. And i LOVE IT
Also i ship zelink and rosegarden and I CAN ASSURE YOU. THEY’RE THE SAME. SAME DYNAMIC, SAME VIBE, THEY’RE SO DEAR TO ME OH MY GOD.
I’ve never played Zelda but this is me connecting RWBY to Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. I think what makes RWBY so unique is that it pulls from so many different source materials and makes something truly unique!
