The way my fight or flight response is triggered when I read a bad take or someone just blatantly misreads RWBY or it’s characters is so insane. I don’t think I’ve ever been this defensive of a show before.

I think part of it is just the amount of absolute vitriol this show gets for no reason. If you don’t like the show that’s fine. There are plenty of shows other people love that I have zero interest in or just don’t care for. Sometimes a show just isn’t made for you. And that’s FINE.

But there’s just so much purposefully bad takes and bad faith criticism, and it feels so relentless sometimes. You can’t post something positive about it without at least one troll deciding that you liking and celebrating something you love is an insult directed at them as a person.

It can just be a lot when it feels like something you love is just constantly getting crapped on.

So let me say this again, with nothing but love and conviction:

I love RWBY. I love this show so freakin much. This show, even with all its flaws and stumbles, is my favorite show. Possibly ever. Most certainly of the last decade.

I love its themes and its message. I love the characters. I love the music. I love the animation, was even endeared by the Poser era. I love that it feels like the people behind the show love and care about it just as much. I love how each volume is another milestone, another mark to look back and go ‘see how far we’ve come?’

And not to be so melodramatic, but none of the trolls can ever take that away from me.

Regarding the "Does RWBY like women?" poll (yes, yes it does BTW).

You know... the whole poll debacle reminded me of something.

RWBY helped me expand my media diet by telling me that just because people hate something enmass, it could just all be bullshit coupled with mob mentality.

Instead of hatedoms getting me to think:

"Damn, I don't even wanna be associated with that show based on the rage it inspires."

My more skeptical brain is like:

"Okay, so why is it reeeeeeeally hated? Is it reeeeeeeally bad or are people going along with the crowd because critical thinking is too much of a burden in this capitalist hellscape?"

Because bad media literacy is in part a result of the fact that most geeks and normies alike aren't out to be legit critics but rather just want to enjoy the thing, gush about the thing and so forth. They can't exactly articulate their reasonings why like they're trying to get an A+ in Therapy Studies.

And THAT is how the YouTube Video Essay and Angry Critic scene takes off.

We dunk on the Nostalgia Critic (often for VERY real IRL grievances) but his catchphrase: "I remember it so you don't have to" is something many who'd come after would take to heart. These video maker people are taking about a thing you like and are explaining it in a way you not only agree with but makes you feel vindicated.

Be it for love... or for hate.

Because hatedom circles like the RWDE looks to video essays that reassure them, keep them from doubting their stance on the thing and how they enforce it.

With the burden of actually seeing the thing and thinking hard taken off of them, people can confidently say things like "RWBY prioritizes Jaune" despite not looking at any potential evidence in the show that might contridice it.

Which is why this is a call for everyone to question the popular opinions.

Does Jaune Arc reeeeeeally get that much narrative importance at the expense of the main girls?

Was Jaune reeeeeeeally a self-insert?

Was Ironwood reaaaaaally derailed in his character arc?

Was Adam reeeeeeeeally representative of the Faunus?

Was the Faunus reaaaaaally offensive?

And of course...

Was Monty Oum reeeeeeeeally the only one who's vision matter to the show above all else?

Ask yourself these questions and do the work to back them up. If people are giving you responses that contridict you, responses that take evidence from the work itself more often than not, then try to do the same in turn.

Think about that show or movie being panned? What if... you actually like it?

Not everybody is a critic... but we can at least try to.

RWBY Volume 9: Beyond Episode 4 Boba

Atlas most technologically advanced kingdom.

Statue: Destroyed

Lost Items: Relic of creation and knowledge

Those responsible are still on the loose.

Vale

Statue: Destroyed [ Off screen ]

Winter and Marrow Amin look at graffiti on a wall, stating "ATLAS GET OUT" and "LONG LIVE THE CROWN". Winter hears an airship in the distance, and flies off to investigate. As she lands, she is greeted by Peter Port, who takes a step back.

Port: (chuckles) The Winter Maiden, Miss Schnee. (takes a step forward and bows)

Winter: What's happened?

Port: (sighs) When Salem left Atlas, she came for Vale, and now there's nothing left.

Port looks behind him to Bartholomew Oobleck, who is looking down.

Winter: Where's Glynda?

Port: Gone. Trying to find help. We led the civilian retreat, brought as many people with us as we could, and uh, this, this is the only place we could think to go.

Possible missing item: Relic of choice

Mistral

Far west location of Remnant

Status: Weakened

Due to the betrayal of HEADMASTER Leonardo Lionheart, Haven Academy was closed and ALL of its students were transferred to Vacuo.

Before the start of the series, Ozpin invited Lionheart into his group, involving him in his shadow war against Salem and her faction. However, at some point he betrayed Ozpin and sided with Salem for about two years following the events of RWBY: The Grimm Campaign, working for her as a spy to save himself out of fear. While he wasn't present in Vale during the time of the 40th Vytal Festival, he helped forge documents for Cinder's Faction to infiltrate Beacon Academy without raising suspicion and inadvertently helped cause the Fall of Beacon.

Lionheart had given Salem the locations of Huntsmen and Huntresses dispatched throughout Mistral, in which they'd be slaughtered by Tyrian Callows and Hazel Rainart.

The relic from the kingdom was taken.

Vacuo

Status: Crisis

RWBY Volume 9: Beyond Episode 2 A Knight's Journal

The kingdom received refugees from two kingdoms, most from Atlas and the few remaining in Vale.

The relic of destruction remains awaited under seven keys, the maiden remains hidden.

Dangerous prisoners were freed and joined Salem.

Jax Astúrias, semblance Mind Control.

Gillian Asturias, semblance Aura Siphon.

Gillian's Semblance, Aura Siphon, allows her to transfer Aura between different people, much like Jaune Arc. However, she is also able to drain Aura from others to recover her own, as well as storing it for herself.

Vacuan 1: You're the girl who sent the message! The one who brought the world together!

The world is more divided and weaker than ever before.

I had a theory that current Rwby fans don't care about history and this is the result.

They left Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross as writers and directors it was a mistake. Just Kerry Shawcross stayed to write and direct RWBY Beyond.

Indirectly and directly, team RWBY was responsible for the annihilation of their own world.

My honest reaction it would be the same as the joker laughing until he fell to the ground.

I just want to see people cursing me

Weiss, looking at Yang drinking: I did not know you drank milk?

Yang, taking a long and slow sip: Only Blake's.

Weiss: *shocked pikachu face*

Yang: *downs the entire shot*

Something my brain wanted to send you.

Drew this as fast as I could

And people say Yang isn't a Tomboy Miles says otherwise

[nerdlydelicious]

Hello everyone! How’s it hanging? Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth again, but today I bring you something special: a cameo request for Miles Luna, from my friend TheBigEd over on discord, regarding Jaune and Weiss’s relationship and how both it and they have changed throughout the course of the series.

I know I just said it, but I will repeat myself to make it clear: this is not my cameo request, it is TheBigEd’s. I’m sharing it here with their permission since I figured the RWBY tumblr community (in particular the White Knight portion) would want to see it.

[howlingday]

Okay, now imagine this!

Team RWBY & JNPR (minus Jaune) on a Bullhead while Weiss is complaining about him being so annoying.

Relieved to know he stayed behind, Weiss breathes out a sigh of relief.

...wait a minute...

...is that...WHY does she hear A PIANO!?!?

Outside the Bullhead.

IN THE AIR!?!?

Jaune meanwhile:

How does Team RWBY react? Team JNPR?

Jaune: Makin' my way downtown, Walkin' fast, faces passed, and I'm homebound~

Ruby: Wow! Who knew he could play piano?

Weiss: No, seriously! Since WHEN could he play ANYTHING well?!

Blake: Well, he's certainly played us.

Yang: Like a piano~!

Nora: I love this song~!

Pyrrha: Is that safe?

Ren: If I could fall... into the sky...

[onceuponalegendbg-rwby]

I want to clarify that I’m not giving up hope that things will work out in some capacity. I still want to believe that the little web show that could will find a place that will let it finish its story.

This show is so freakin popular, not only in the states but also in Japan, who not only dubbed the series but even made their own anime for it.

This show is so popular that it got a two movie crossover with the Justice League.

WB may not care about legacy or passion or creativity but they do care about money. And while I’m just some faceless voice on the internet I’d like to think WB are at least smart enough to see that RWBY is profitable. It can make them money.

My preference would be for them to also keep the writers, VAs, and music team the same. That would realistically be my most ideal scenario.

Will we get it? I don’t know. But I’m not about to doom and gloom a situation when there’s still a shot, you know.

“Blind optimism isn’t great, but no optimism means we’ve already lost. We need hope. We need to take risks.”

Something that I feel is essential viewing for SMMR of RWBY.

Can I get a boost, @foulfirerebel @tumblingxelian @citadelofmythoughts @sir-adamus?

[therealmofamorus]

(Prompt, Original AU, Crossover AU) (Fusion AU) Shallot, have you ever taken Weiss to the Mile High Club? ...It's human slang for flying sex. (Flying Sex, Semi-Public Sex)

SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~!

"Can't talk now," Shallot grunted as he ram his cock in and out of the screaming, moaning snow princess high up in the air like a wild and bestial savage. "Too busy mating with Snow Princess to answer any sort of question."

SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~SMACK~!

"Cummming~!" Weiss screeched with aheago expression as she unleashed her love juices in the air...and onto the poor unfortune bastard underneath who was the unfortune victim to the Ancient Snow Mile High Club.

ROAD TO FICTIONAL WRESTLEMANIA

THE MID-CARD FOR NIGHT 1:

1) Afro Samurai (c) vs. Miles Morales for the Intercontinental Championship

2) Yang Xiao Long vs. Weiss Schnee (grudge match between teammates-turned-enemies / Weiss wants revenge after Yang turned heel and hit her in the back with a steel chair)

3) Joffrey Baratheon vs. Worf / Joffrey Baratheon vs. Aragorn (Joffrey claimed he could beat anyone in under 3 minutes. Worf and Aragorn accepted the challenge, so now Joffrey must fight both of them in two separate matches)

4) Angel vs. Patrick Bateman in a casket match (the horror community wants revenge against Angel after he beat 5 different slasher/horror-themed wrestlers in a row)
