For example, I criticized the Battle of Atlas (Salem vs. Ironwood) for the lack of military intelligent strategies in both cases. James uses tactics from World War I or the Napoleonic era. And Salem doesn't mobilize the Grimm strategically.

It could have been an epic confrontation between someone with millennia of experience versus the greatest military genius of Atlas. But what we got was disappointing.

Essentially, the fandom's response was, "Who cares? The battle is still epic."

Or when, before the epilogue came out and we saw the Remnant Alliance with their ships over Vacuo, many in the RWDE were saying, "How is this possible?"

So I made a post outlining my theories, meaning that everything could have a sensible explanation for the Remnant Alliance.

But the fandom simply responded, "Who cares? We don't need an explanation."

And well, I don't know. I respect the fandom and all that. I like the show too.

But I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting the show to be better. With wanting things to be done right. And not being complacent.

What about you? Have you had similar experiences with the fandom?

After almost a year, I've finally finished another RWBY Cypher. This time, it's the Atlesian Cypher!

I hope you all check it out and enjoy it. I love making these projects because they're a way to bring the community together and give people within the fandom a chance to participate and showcase their talents.

I hope you all enjoy the hard work that everyone put into making this happen!

Base aura techniques

- abilities that allow huntsman to utilize aura properly with there being base techniques most huntsman should be capable of

The following originated in mistral created by a women named Nike now praised by the hellenic states as the goddess of Victory and Valor

-Xiphos: the sword slash technique that focuses your aura into your blade before you expel it with a slash

-Aegis: form of condensing aura into an outwards shield mostly utilized depending on your own aura reserves with some opting to use it to help conserve aura in a fight

-Arete: an aura technique based on enhancing the body in aura allowing you to do things such as enhancing the strength of your legs for higher jumps to being able to condense your aura in a fight making it harder to break

-Hoplon:the most simple and practical aura technique that most Huntsmen use to reinforce there weapons to ensure they don't break during battle especially mechashift it makes you coat it with your own aura to withstand most attacks an aura user can do to others

Personal techniques

These techniques are when Huntsman utilise both there semblance and aura techniques vice versa to make a technique there own as If a semblance is a reflection of your soul you should want to use it more and while not everyone would be flashy about it they would atleast want to do there best to train if

Bastion

Creator:Nennius Arc

Bio: an Arc family technique that spans across the first recorded arc a knight of of vale and a member of the crownguard and is one mastered by every member of house arc thanks to the absurd aura amount each member has

The technique allows the user to be able to wrap layer after layer of aura over one's body making it appear to be a thick wall against most and be seemingly unbreakable due to having to break the aura layer after layer with a user being able to replenish the wall again and makes fights a battle of endurance

Currently jaune is unable to use it fully due to faulty aura control

Aegis Invictus

Creator: Pyrrha Nikos

Bio: using a common aura compression technique known as Aegis pyrrha was able to adapt it using her semblance polarity

What it does is allow the user to compress there aura to be more dense and harder to break but depending on there aura only focuses it on specific parts of there body unless they have an abundance of aura reserves with most performing aura shields to be able to block attacks

For pyrrha she used it to focus her aura on her armor making a near impenetrable armor and focus her semblance polarity to allow her to have her enemies only hit her armor

In doing so it has made her gain the image as the invincible girl as her aura rarely goes down from green in a fight unless facing her usual rivals Sun wukong and arslan altan

Still Waters

Creator: Lie Ren

Bio: in order to be able to use his semblance to its peak he used a combination of a few aura techniques used by his emotion surpressive clan

What it does is allow Ren to be near impercetible to anyone's senses making him seem to slip in and out of the battlefield and hard to detect

Drawbacks for this is it requires strong focus and strong emotions can make him be visible again

Thunder Dome

Creator: Nora Valkyrie

Bio: made to try and deal more damage using her aura

What it does is allow Nora to use her semblance dot hat they can make a dome of aura that's fully electrified to be able to do aoe attacks against others

It's a World War II poster.

Now, imagine Ironwood running military propaganda about his allies.

Consider that James's plan is to unite the world. What better way to foster a sense of unity than to put up posters so the people of Atlas understand the importance of the alliance against this mysterious enemy?

Obviously, Ironwood isn't going to reveal Salem's existence yet. But people know about what happened in Haven and Beacon. There's a mysterious group of people plotting against the kingdoms. So it's best to make people aware of the importance of unity in these difficult times.

Showing Ruby as "She fights for Remnant," even though she's from Vale, could help improve relations.

Or even Blake. She's from Menagerie and is a faunus. I think showing her in propaganda is useful.

Besides, I'm a fan of military propaganda. And I feel that for such a militaristic kingdom, Atlas didn't show enough.

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

This part shows Atlas City falling, with Ironwood inside after Cinder and Salem left. James is walking through the corridors.

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listened as the crowd would sing

Now the old king is dead!

Long live the king!

We are shown Ironwood arresting a man in military uniform (the former general of Atlas) while the council appoints him as the new general. That's obviously a flashback.

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

James is seen arriving at a Solitas settlement, delivering food supplies to a young Neon Katt whose village was destroyed.

For some reason I can't explain

Once you'd gone, there was never

Never an honest word

That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

When he says "People couldn't believe what I'd become" the scene changes to Ironwood threatening to destroy Mantle in volume 8. Neon Katt and Flynt Coal look on in horror at the threat.

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh, who would ever want to be king?

We are shown Winter, Robyn, Qrow and others planning the attack on Ironwood.

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

The Atlesian fleets spreading to other kingdoms. Showing Ironwood's help to these.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

And in the end, we see Ironwood finally reaching his destination, stopping Watts who managed to escape from the engine room. Basically, James prevents Watts from escaping alive, and they both die together.

With the final scene showing Atlas City colliding with Mantle.

I can't draw, but if anyone can, please do that. Make a series of illustrations showing those things.

For a (former) company that loves to make in jokes, the fact that at no point did they ever have Ruby and Weiss even meet the Malachite twins feels like a crime. Like it makes so much thematic sense

• They wear the prototype Ruby and Weiss outfits so it'd be neat to see how they compare against what is essentially the final versions
• Their fairy tale origins point to them being a sort of mirror to Ruby and Weiss as they're Rose Red and Snow white to Red riding hood and the other Snow White
• They'd be a somewhat fun pair for Ruby and Weiss to fight. Ruby and Weiss due to their weapons have more long range element to their abilities while the Malachite twins are purely up close and personal. That's not to say they can't deal with being up close, but the later volumes have them put more space between them and their opponents
• It'd also just be thematic. The Malachite twins are a pair that work really well while Ruby and Weiss aren't. They've gotten better but they're not a renounced fighting pair on the same level as them

I also think they'd look cool next to one another. This isn't a point to really push it, I just think they'd look cool.

In the episode, which Weiss gets increasingly antagonized by the fact that I’ve Ruby is well, a child and acts as such, and then insists that she would be a better leader, I just realized that, although what Ozpin said to Ruby, about how a leader has to stand up and be better for their team, he also tells her essentially, that she can’t rely on her teammates because she has to be the one that they rely upon. Which is a lesson that Ruby shares later with Jaune, which eventually gave him the confidence to stand up to Cardin, and stand up for his teammates. The problem here, is that while it was exactly what Ruby needed to hear then, she internalized too much, leading to her being closed off, and repressing her own trauma and feelings regarding the fall of beacon, to the point that eventually it all built up, and she snaps in volume nine, finally letting it all out, and attempting to kill herself, because she is supposed to be the rock that everyone else relies upon, but in doing so, she can’t rely upon anyone else. She can’t show the slightest amount of weakness,because everyone relies on her.
All of this to say, as most things that happen in RWBY, its Ozpin‘s fault Ruby tried to kill herself, even if unintentional(again, like most things his fault)
I don’t know, I’m tired and I refuse to go to sleep until I’ve made it to the fall of beacon.

Rando: Wait but-

Stenv: Eh didn't like the last post. Too much whining.

Oi

Homelander: Finally something I can kill.

Ruby: Eating a strawberry I don't think so.

Homelander: I am literally bullet proof!

Ruby: And?

Homelander roars, his heat vision bouncing off Ruby's aura.

Ruby: Neat.

Homelander: Oh yeah! Well when I keep applying heat pressure or punching you that aura will go out!

Ruby: That's a cool story and all. Buuuut. Two things. One. I am not the canon Ruby Rose. Two... You're kinda weak sauce.

Homelander: Shut the fuck up.

Ruby: Okay. Hey Vergil. You're up.

Homelander turns around to see Adam Taurus. He fires heat vision. Adam blocks it, Homelander screams louder, the heat vision getting bigger, then Adam cuts Homelander in half with the Moonslice.

Ruby: Cool cool.

Adam: It was far too easy human.

Ruby: Yep.

Cardin: So we still on for tacos or...

Ruby: Of course we are.

Pyrrha: Nods as she collects Homelander's cape This will make a great souvenir.

+++

Rando: I you wha...

Stenv: Team Red. AU. Adam left instead of Blake. Cardin got paired with Pyrrha. Ruby with Adam. Ozpin said fuck it, and called it Team Red. Or Red Team if you're feeling zesty.

That's all folks but since you're here. Name some catgirls you like better then Blake Belladonna.

I like the chainsmoker cat. Wouldn't want to know her, but she and every other cat girl in that show/manga is hilarious. Later!

I've spent the last few months making a video dunking on RWBY (I know, really original), and after I started writing my script for volume 8 and seeing some fresh Ironwood discourse on Twitter, I came to a realization on how the writers of RWBY choose to convey the themes of the story.

Essentially, they start off with a theme and a message in mind. However, instead of putting in the actual work to demonstrate those themes and delve fully into exploring them, they rely on jingling keys in front of the audience and hoping that they make the connections independently in their mind.

Let's use the theme of militarism in the show as an example. It's pretty obvious that the writers are trying to tell us that unchecked militarism will lead a nation to ruin, which is even more relevant today than when they were starting to give hints of that back in volume two. That's a good starting point. The problem is that the only thing the writers do is show us a big ass military fleet in volume two and Ozpin being skeptical; and, before some people bring up the robots getting hacked in volume three, given the fact that it happens through an outside force and that the military itself didn't really have any culpability in the manner (except for having piss-poor security), I don't find that particularly compelling. Instead of putting in the effort of showing us how jingoism and an out-of-control military-industrial complex can have devastating impacts from start to finish, CRWBY sees it fit to point at an army and say "WOW, you see this? This is military. Military BAD!" and expects its viewers to say "Certainly. You are correct. How insightful."

Here's a suggestion from me: We know that Jacques Schnee is a colossal asshole to put things mildly. He's abusive, runs a company exploiting the labour of a racial minority, and literally shuts down non-essential services in Mantle to coerce people into voting for him (which, by the way, is blatant voter intimidation. That is a crime in functional countries, but I digress). What if we made it so that the reason he doesn't get held accountable for this earlier is because the SDC happens to be a major supplier and investor in the Atlesian army? If they have a massive amount of influence over the government, they would have a huge incentive to make sure he never sees the inside of a courtroom. With that, we see an actual application of the "militarism bad" theme: Unchecked military power erodes a nation's institutions for its own gain.

The militarism theme isn't the only example of this. Stuff like the themes of racial discrimination and, bizarrely enough, coming of age ("We've been in bad situations before, and we didn't need an adult to come tell us what to do") can also be applied to this.

I like to think of themes as being like seasonings. Sure, if you don't season your food, it's gonna be bland as shit. But, if you barely do any work on anything else, it's not really going to matter what you put on it at the end. What the writers did with RWBY is they made this really flavourful sauce with things like long pepper, cardamom, turmeric, cumin, dried chili peppers, saffron and all that good stuff and slapped it on a raw porkchop that's only been cooking for a minute tops and served it with some store bought white sandwich bread. And when I'm like "Hey, this is undercooked," some group of people in back of me respond with "Man, it's not their fault you can't handle spicy food." No bitch, I love spicy food. I just don't want ringworms to colonize my stomach looking for those spices like they're the fuckin Dutch East India Company.

I've felt this way many times. First of all, I want to clarify that I'm not annoyed with RWDE. On the contrary, I'm frustrated with myself. With my own inadequacy.

I've argued countless times with the fandom. How can I convince them to change their minds? How can I convince them they're wrong?

I don't consider myself an intelligent person. I don't consider myself an expert in debates or discussions.

Think about Ironwood and the faunus. For you, it's simple: Ironwood can't help the faunus no matter how much he wants to. Because that's not his job.

But how do you convince people on Tumblr, people on Twitter, and so on of that? I've argued with so many people, and I'm useless. I can't convince anyone to change their opinions.
I feel powerless.

That's partly why I've tried presenting arguments from the fandom to you (ChemistFluid-style). So that you can help me. So that you can show me the arguments I need to win debates.

I've seen you use all kinds of interesting arguments. But not many of you engage with the fandom. Many stay here, in an echo chamber.

I feel so alone having to be the one who has to argue with the fandom. Because if I don't do it, who will?

And I'm grateful to those who have helped me. Those who have gone into the fandom's territory and talked to them.

But, even so, it's not enough.
I'm not enough to handle all of this.

And that's what frustrates me about myself. Not being smart enough to think of all the arguments I need to win discussions. To convince them to change their minds.

Let’s be real, however tragic may it be, Winter Schnee's death would probably the most satisfying way to wrap up the Schnee side story, as it makes total sense in terms of Weiss’s character development.

---

First off, her name. Monty’s color-naming rule means that characters are walking manifestations of their design and role. Winter Schnee is a name that simply describes the season. Weiss however, means white, which is more or less the colorful essence of the season. By naming the older sister Winter, CRWBY created a character whose entire identity is tied to a mantle she was always meant to pass on. Weiss's name implies she would be the ultimate destination for that winter motif. To add onto the death flags, Maiden magic transfers based on the dying Maiden's last thought. Which means that the transition between Maiden wielders is based on the connection one has for another. Winter’s entire character arc has been a journey from a cold obeyer of Ironwood's orders into a warrior for the common people and those that she absolutely cares about. She broke away from Ironwood's sinking ship specifically because of her love for Weiss. They spent multiple volumes building up Winter into a more and more protective sibling, so if Winter is mortally wounded, her final thought would most likely be Weiss. And even then, we already know Cinder is obsessed with stealing all the Maiden powers, and they alresdy fought before in Volume 8, so there's also the vendetta added onto that as well. Winter fights Cinder to protect the Atlas refugees. If Winter wins for a second time, Cinder could never, EVER recover in terms of threat factor. She has to win if they ever duel so that Cinder's crusade actually has more of a success rate. The only narrative way out of that corner is for Winter to hold Cinder off, take a fatal blow, and use her final breath to deliberately think of Weiss. This uses the magic rules to pull the power right out of Cinder's grasp at the last second, passing it to Weiss and giving Team RWBY a fighting chance.

---

Secondly, having Weiss inherit the Winter Maiden powers will add onto her development as a Huntress and make her stand out even more from her family members. Winter had always stood like a pillar of support to Weiss, considering that Winter has been protecting her from most of the dangers in her life when she was around, sans the Fall of Beacon. As a result, being one of the main four lead characters, Weiss will have to break those harnesses by not having a sister anymore to come to her aid in case she fails. Weiss could prove that she is capable of protecting not just a couple of people, but the remaning vestiges of all of Remnant. The whole reason of being a protagonist in early volumes had been that Weiss was trying to make herself independent from her family legacy both financially and by name, but it'd be an interesting subversion if instead Weiss would need to revive the Schnee legacy, as she herself would be the symbolic heir to Atlas. Yet we also can’t forget about the mental impact when the transger, since the Maiden powers might as well be a constant blaring reminder of her sister’s sacrifice. Whenever Weiss uses them, she would probably be thinking about how Winter sacrificed herself for her younger sister. It will put an enormous weight on her shoulders and test her limits.

---

Finally, the Schnee name has been fully stained by the shadow of exploitation and abuse that spread itself amongst the SDC. So if Weiss gains access to the Winter Maiden powers, the legacy of her family may actually take on a course that will not necessarily be linked with such corrupt practices. Since the citizens of Vacuo hate both Atlas and the SDC, due to the company extracting natural resources out of the desert for decades, the refugees from Atlas are coming into a kingdom that dislikes them from the get-go. Weiss might use her powers for humanitarian purposes and help citizens in some way, like giving water to those citizens that need it, or creating barriers to protect from Grimm. And finally, let's consider Willow and Whitley. They have been branded as part of the corrupt and rich family all this time. If one of them is proven to be protecting hundreds, their status can be changed to being part of the coalition. This would be especially useful when it comes to Whitley, as he already showed himself to be a child prodigy in terms of logistics and coordination, so he could help Weiss in the relief efforts so that she has space to fortify the city. All of this can allow some sort of compensation and build a new legacy from her late father's sins.

As we wait for V10 (I actually began this before it got greenlit), I decided to begin working on this fic, which focuses around team RWBY finding out Olive Harper is still alive and settled just outside Vacuo. As political tensions rise... An insurrection in Argus forces the Vacuo council to team up with the Atlesian remnants to help survivors.

Wanted to continue the story how I see it, as well as including fan favorites of mine along the way

PS: I'm publishing this here bc the more general r/RWBY didn't seem to like it a lot, while it was somewhat better received here (another fic I did), hope I'm not bothering anyone.

This is my attempt at fleshing out vale by giving it history snd religion to try and make the kingdom more than just the capital city and patch

Religion

The predominant religion is the two brothers with the capital being the ones who promoted it after it was formed by king ozymandias the 1st

The more rural settlements and villages however follow the faith of the seven which includes figures of the rusted one the Smith the maiden and the crown

Whether these figures existed however is a mystery most wouldn't know

Settlements

During the days of the great war which lasted nearly 300 years into the making vale was split by king ozymandias the 1st into 25 different settlements over the years these settlements either abandoned destroyed or annexed to other settlements left behind 7 major settlements that make up the entirety of vale

Avalon

-current capital of Vale and where the high Council was formed after the previous capital was destroyed during the last years of the great war

-hub for international companies or organizationd to create branches in Vale and is in charge of handling international economy

-incharge of making kingdom wide laws that all's settlements must follow

-has the second largest militia from the seven settlements

-followers of the Crown

-the Crown's tale was known to vale as king ozymandias's promise to his people that do long as he wears the crown upon his head his choices shall lead to the end of 200 year war with some saying the crown itself was the cause for the victory of the war

Ansel

-a frontier settlement that bordered the coast where the sea connects to Mistral being the main deterrent against mistralesn invasions and the last border settlement that stood after the great war

-unlike most of the other settlements they still maintain there noble houses as during the time king ozymandias the fourth disbanded them the frontier Settlements we're still dealing with grimm hordes that at the time wiped out 3 leading houses including the governing house and they decided to put a reliable Knightdom of house arc incharge to maintain the settlement and haven't changed ever since as the houses have proved themselves reliable

-noble houses do not have the same authority outside of Ansel being conflated to something like old money depending on the wealth of the house

-ansel is now incharge of protecting trade routes sent by mistralesn companies for a price as well seeing the source of the kingdoms most well trained Knight orders

-most noble houses have there children either become Huntsman or end up joining the Valean military

-one of the only settlements who still speak old Valean(latin) and high Valean (French)

-followers of the rusted one

-tale of the rusted one was a knight who fought for the Glory of vale and sightings regarding him always lead to a victory against there foes seeing him as a sign that vale will win the battle

Ironmound

- a mining settlement in the mountains of Vale incharge of gathering most of therer raw materials from stone metal and dust if they can manage to find a vein

-followers of the Mason

-the tale of the mason is about a builder who didn't stop for 30 days and 30 nights to build the grand walls of ironmound to defend them against any weather grimm or Army being a symbol of defense and prayed to when you

Greengrove

-a coalition of farming settlements that handle most of the harvest and animal production with patch as a member of the settlement despite being an island

-despite being part of vale they mainly act as there own autonomous kingdom rarely needing the input of the council to proceed with there work as they value there independence

-followers of the Maiden

-the tale of the maiden involved the sudden appearance of s girl during the time when the farming lands had seemingly grown infertile due to s grimm infection that the girl seemingly destroyed before reverting the failed crops into nourishment that would seemingly make any crop grow faster than they originally would

Bulwark

- military settlement set in the more grimm infested parts of the kingdom where most Huntsman head to to make easy money and where most of the Valean military do work in and keep the other settlements safe

-largest militia of the seven settlements

-followers of the hunter

-inspiration behind the term Huntsman the man was a dedicated fighter against grimm while the war was ravaging the world seeing vale too preoccupied with the war decided to be the one who'd kept the grimm at bay and is prayed for as a saint of peace and defense against the grimm

Silver port

-largest Seaport of the settlements even in comparison to Ansel being the main source of fresh fish and naval armies of Vale incharge of keeping sea grimm at bay and being there to support Huntsman against more dangerous grimm

-followers of the Fisher

-the tale of the Fisher was one of bravery as during the time of a good shortage due to grimm the Fisher was a saint who had dared to sail the grimm infested seas and charged against the grimm returning home with enough fish to feed the kingdom for years and inspired more and more of silver port to venture forth regardless of the danger

Ferrous

-metal working capital of the settlements and was the creators of the mechashift weaponry that most Huntsman used today

-handles most ironworkings from pipes to rebar

-followers of the blacksmith

- surprisingly the faith of the blacksmith was older than that of the seven even the idea of vale itself is younger than it's faith with most seeing them as a grim Reaper sort of figure of a Hades like figure who takes the souls of the Dead and reforms them into new lives

Would like some help on developing these ideas more mainly what country should I use to base each settle or I guess region to be more precise should be based under

Some ideas I have so far is Avalon is based on Britain greengrove is based on Ireland and Ansel is based france

Would also like some help regarding developing the religion more but so far not sure what to do

I'm not the only one who's tried to address the topic of fascism. Personally, I don't think it's necessary, and I believe that even Miles and Kerry aren't skilled enough to handle such a delicate subject.

But let's suppose I want to create my own AU where I explore this topic. Which character should we choose to be the fascist?

Before starting, I'd like to clarify something. I previously made a post explaining why Ironwood wasn't a fascist, and I feel I was misunderstood. Fascism is a broad topic with many nuances, but I only wanted to emphasize the issue of propaganda (and mass mobilization).

Certainly, there are broader aspects related to why Ironwood isn't a fascist: supremacism, the role of the state, ultra-nationalism, machismo, homophobia, militarism, anti-unionism, etc.

But putting that aside, which character would you choose to be the fascist in this hypothetical AU? Which one works best as a fascist?

Let's consider the options:

1. Jacques: He's a very implicit racist. He's a multimillionaire. An enemy of the White Fang. If we want, we can even establish that he's sexist, although that would require some mental gymnastics. But he doesn't seem like someone with ideals, unlike a fascist.

I read a suggestion that he could be like McCarthy. But I always saw McCarthy as someone who, as bad as he was, at least believed in an ideal. He believed in something bigger than himself. Jacques has no ideals. He simply seeks his own benefit.

Although perhaps we could use this old expression: "There's nothing more like a fascist than a frightened bourgeois."
In itself, he wouldn't be someone with a fascist ideology. Rather, he's someone who manipulates the population to maintain his privileges.

It works for me. In real life, there have been businessmen who have allied themselves with Nazis for their own benefit. We've seen that Jacques is manipulative, capable of turning situations to his advantage. Perhaps if Weiss hadn't obtained the evidence against Jacques, he could have deposed Ironwood?

1. Caroline Cordovin: I strongly believe that if Ironwood had been deposed, she could have been the one to assume control.

We know she's racist, ultra-nationalist, militaristic, and authoritarian. I wouldn't be surprised if she had the other ideologies to be a fascist, although perhaps I'm stretching it. She could have attempted a coup and established a military dictatorship on her own, manipulated by Watts.

1. Adam?

Strange moment. But the guy is a supremacist, militaristic, authoritarian, populist, and wants to dethrone the old elites to enslave humanity. So, perhaps. If Watts manages to hack all of Atlas's technology, Adam could become the kingdom's new dictator.

How would you implement fascism in this AU? Which character would you use?
