when you learn more about show production and how much time and effort goes into developing a show from concept to screen, the fact that RWBY went from concept to airing in less than a year is wild

like that whole early production is absolutely not normal show development, but makes sense when you remember it's coming from amateurs who had never made a show like this before (again, RT primarily was producing machinima where the pipeline was inherently streamlined), so it's rough around the edges, episodes would release with visual glitches that Monty would go back and fix as they got pointed out by subscribers on the RT site before the episode hit youtube, a lot of things were rushed and some sequences got changed last minute without everyone knowing about it (Miles famously didn't know that the fight with Torchwick in the finale had been altered to include Penny cutting the bulkheads in half because he hadn't seen the episode until they were sitting down to record the commentary on the season)

obviously the production pipeline changed and evolved over the years following, but it's still a major difference between RWBY as a webshow made by amateurs who were having to learn as they were going, versus a fully produced professionally animated series (like, hell, Ice Queendom was in development for years before we heard about it). and i think that's something we as a fandom have to keep in mind as we wait for news on future volumes of the show - with RT shutting down, RWBY's production essentially has to basically start over, and is almost certainly going to be done under more professional capacity than it was at RT, so the development of that production is almost definitely going to take longer getting going before we see anything (even once Viz are past whatever legal stuff they will have had to work out)

some doddles I draw for RWBY chara in the past

Don’t understand the dramatics. People, we already had Trump for four years and nothing happened to you. You’re fine, it’s not the end of the world. Stop scrolling through social media and turn off liberal media channels. Go get some fresh air.

We are a very very dumb, stupid people

[angryfacewritings]

new reason to stay alive: outlive the trump presidency, live to see the day he's guaranteed to never be in office ever again and make sure he knows that he'll never have enough power to kill you

stay strong, friends, this isn't your fault

Especially sorry for queer and trans youth. I promise there are people out there who love and support you no matter what. No matter how hard it gets, you will survive and push through this.

Happy Birthday RWBY!!!

i've said it before but i think while we're in the wilderness until RWBY properly comes back i think it would be a good idea to have it as a side event, and as something i think Viz would be much more capable of managing and organising than RT would've been

which would be a Star Wars Visions/Halo Legends kind of animation serial - a bunch of different studios each getting to do their own take on the RWBY mythos, whether it just be set in the world of Remnant or a short story with the girls, sliding scale of action, seriousness and comedy

i think it'd be fun and cool to see the world of Remnant through the lens of like, Trigger or Orange or Mir's approaches to animation

Happy birthday Ruby Rose, you iconic legend!! <3

i wish we'd know if leaving her emblem behind was the norm for summer, or if it was just this one time, cos i feel like it matters quite a bit.

if it was an every time deal, then it's like. fine. gives her some character and adds more weight to it holding a "mother's promise", but ultimately it's kind of "whatever".

but if she did it just this once? ooh boi. emblems may have not been given the same obvious narrative weight as weapons when it comes to them being a part of a person, but they still exist; and when summer leaves her brooch behind with a "i love you just the way you are. always.", followed by her acting out-of-character—it's not like you to rush off on a mission in the middle of the night. summer rose telling lies... first time for everything.—, it feels very... telling. like she left a part of her behind; a part of her that she couldn't be for this very particular mission.

and when you look at the idealized view many have of summer... one might just say she left behind a symbol.

You wake up suddenly to find an androgynous being by your bed, congratulating you on your ascension to godhood and vanishing without explaining your domain or power set. Now you have to figure out what kind of god you are, and why you're a god to begin with

The funniest bit of RWBY trivia I can think of is its relation to Doctor Sleep. The fucking sequel to The Shining features more blatant references to RWBY than maybe anything else I can think of ever. Ewan McGregor has been in the vicinity of an Emerald Sustrai

I'm gonna need more details because I never heard of a Rang.

I don't know if it's the original guy who made Bleiss, but basically the same way Bleiss is contrast personality wise to Weiss there are palatte swapped double for each member of RWBY.

Obviously Wake who is a Uncle Ruckus-like self hating raciest.

Rang who unlike the hit fist ask questions later, brawler always willing to act recklessly and violently and look sexy while doing it. Rang is played off as reserved, moral and strict.

And then there's Bluby who to my understanding it just depressed Ruby.
