Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.

"What could one man need so many belts for?"
Jace looked up from his drink, quirking his eyebrow at Cadence's question. "Pardon?"
Cadence gestured in his general direction, "Your belts. I swear there's a new decorative buckle every time we meet."
"We all have our hobbies," Luna said, swirling the pitch black liquor in her glass, "At least he has the wherewithal to not wear them all simultaneously."
There was a beat, and Jace looked off into the middle distance.
"Oh my Harmony, you're actually considering it."
"Nonsense, how would that even work? I'm not some sort of fantasy wizard or some such, I couldn't pull it off."
"If Bacon's students are any indication, it does seem like ridiculous amounts of belts and zippers are becoming vogue," Glimmer Goodwitch said, the table collectively amassing a number of frowning looks.
"Kids these days," Jace said, taking a gulp of his Shirish coffee.

"It's a counter to clothing damage," explained the yellow-skinned blonde.
Ms. Goodwitch blinked. "Really."
"Wreck a shirt and it falls apart. Seams and all that. Belts are stronger and easy to rearrange or replace. Standardized zippers? Same basic principle." Sunny Little Dragon shrugged. "We are fighting critters with giant claws, after all. Best to be prepared."
"I suppose that makes some level of sense."
Sunny nodded. "Yeah, picked it up in Tauros." She glanced away. "Well, Belladonna did... I followed her lead."
Glimmer bit her lip. "Miss Dragon, you know there are plenty of people you can talk to—"
"I know. I have. I am." The teen sighed. "Just... It's not something you forget, you know?"
Glimmer Goodwitch nodded. "I know that feeling, yes."
Context: Card-game Jace's latest outfit is roughly half belts. Then Masterweaver did Masterweaver things.

Gonna admit that my first thought of wizard wearing many belts was Lulu from Final Fantasy X.
....oh there was a pyhra ref in this part wasnt there?
...Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a reference to The Big Bang Theory's Howard Wolowitz?

actually no, i am familiar with the source and do like RWBY, i just disliked the apparent imposition that it could push on fellow-future Oversaturated collaborators when its premise appeared to be being transferred over whole-cloth.
I may enjoy mixing all the drinks at a soda fountain, but i would not coax someone else to drink the resulting concoction unless i particularly liked or disliked them.

I had thought it was a reference to Square-Enix, but the author note seems to indicate it's a reference to new Magic: The Gathering cards, I think.
It really does look a bit as if it's mostly belt.

Yeah- there he is. The Man With Too Many Belts
>>Spectrumancer
Oh come on, it can't possibly that ins*click*OH MY FAUST WHAT IN SUNBUTT'S NAME IS THAT.
Interesting X-Over note: The character art designer said that the belts on Ruby's costume are supposed to represent every friend or loved one that she's lost to the Dark Side's machinations. That she's bound to her duties by the memory of them.
A bit dark for this universe, I know.

It's Pants Made Of Belts, that's what.

Menthe, what good is life if you can't sling Suicide Drinks from the soda fountain willy-nilly? ... That's not a metaphor, by the way.

My point was that the definition of good and evil is determined by individual belief, and not a cosmic fact. It's fluid and changes with time. Therefore, the existence of a True Evil is false.
That's not to say this group shouldn't be stopped, nor do I think they are good. I just don't think they're evil.

But the absence of True Evil only works in OUR world, based on OUR principles. And it might not even be the true case here. In Shimmer's world, she as the avatar of Harmony and Twilight as the avatar of Magic and the CMC as the Fates can literally rewrite reality whenever they want to MAKE a definition for True Evil. Now, multiversally, things might differ, but then again, they might not. For all we know from what's been revealed, there could very well be something like a Judeo-Christian God, with strict omniversal definitions of Good and Evil.
I ought to belt you for this...

Do you really think that would get them to buckle down?
