If I told you that Final Fantasy 7 is only my sixth favorite Final Fantasy, you'd assume that I don't like it that much.
But then you watch me watch Snapcube play Remake, as I have joyous panic attacks! Bouncing up and down with excitement as she goes through different story beats and action scenes that both replicate and defy a game I played when I was ten years old...
You'd figure I'm just completely un-normal about the other five games on my Top 6. And you'd be right!

#753 - Kissed Off?
You and me in the author's note!? What is this, a crossover episode!?
You guys remember when I had really long, insane author's notes? Yeah those were fun. I'm tired now. Ya boi is on medication
I bought a PS5 specifically and only to play FF7 Rebirth when it comes out in a week. When I finish the game I will be selling my PS5 back on eBay. But if I didn't, I would have paid roughly 600 dollars (console + game) to play it.
And it's worth every penny. You guys don't understand. I'm fucking -feral- for these games. I made ex girlfriends promise that if I ever died they would hook up a generator next to my grave and play any FF7 remakes that ever came out. I fucking pinky swore them. I'd like to think they'd still do it but they're actually coming out now and hopefully???? I won't die???????????
Also something else that will keep me going for the next 10 years is Deltarune. I stg with how slowly it's being developed it's gonna be like a 20 years project. But that's fine. I love it so much.
After that, uhhh?.. Idk I guess I can die after that.
Well anyway! Enjoy this Howgabo page. Wait.. Howgabo? Dragobo's not even in it. EXO-HOWARD! … Hexo? I like Hexo. Enjoy this Hexo page.

rwby remake idea part 2
I am going to be frank I have always loved rwby and the show  Ido not ship bb and feel it comes off as direction change even if they did plan it from the start they didnt give it the buildup
1. we would take the original rwby and expand on it to be more than what it was like opm webcomic to the manga and ff7 original to the remake. In the ff7 remake we got to explore the other members of avalance more so we got to care about them. midgar would feel alot more alive then it had been before, and the exploration of the  wutai conflict etc.
taking stuff from the entire compilation like ff7 dirge of cerebrus  and before 0. rwby remake will take stuff from extra material besides the dc comics and ice queendom
Shinra in the original game was nowhere near as competent and manipulative as Remake Shinra like shinra/hojo in the original game didnt know ifalna died until he was told years afterward
In the opm manga characters got to be more than what they were   a characters relationships got to be stronger than it was where they got a meaningful conversations and this led to a positive choice/change on a characters part where in the webcomic it amounted to a guy appearing going to one guys house to play games etc
a character being much more heroic than they were in the WC ( it can be said that the WC of the character and the Manga version took their experiences and what a guy said in two different ways) and their relationship with a certain character was much better not to mention a g a certain group of  villains were more threatening , and this also led to a change of events for certain characters. ( like rather than side characters randomly meeting people who were good counters  , those fighters were specifically chosen to go against them) (also the side characters got better showings then in the WC This made it so that one character got to end in a better place than he ended up in the original opm webcomic, and the fact we got to see a fight that didnt happen in the webcomic. etc
blacksun would be canon  as for what the other ships would be involving weiss and ruby ( that depends on what ship becomes canon in the original .
 ( truth be told blacksun and renora were my only otp  in rwby) 
( like in the original arkos is also teased in the beacon era ( basically I am not touching the team jnpr ships ( as in the ones where they teased with their partners) 
rwby remake gets a full anime time I have always felt it would have done better if it had gotten that given how many times they brought up having to cut things out
psykoknight65.tumblr.com/post/645570800232153088/i-think-the-biggest-issue-with-rwby-is-its I think the biggest issue with RWBY is it’s pacing. Like, we have SO many characters and SO many ideas and so little time to explore them all in any depth that sometimes it just feels like a list of events that the writers need to get through. Season 8 has been the best season so far IMO but i still have to point out how rushed everything has been. Okay so we’re gonna have Emerald defect, we get one, maybe two lines acknowledging that she has in fact defected, and then within two episodes her semblence is the keystone in the plan to defeat ironwood. It feels…. utilitarian. The fact that Emerald was the one that "killed” penny the first time around? Implied through one line that was mostly a joke. I mean, her actions directly lead to pyrrha’s death, but JNR dont even seem to consider that because there’s no time to go into any depth with her character. I don’t in any way blame the writers because thats just… what happens when you have a project this high concept with this many characters as your first ever attempt at writing a story. But its still a flaw that needs to be pointed out. -berserk anon, again A: kob131: Yeah I see what you mean with Emerald. Ever since I started talking on Tumblr, I’ve said this- RWBY is bare bones. What I mean by this is that the show has very little if not zero extrenious elements or moments to it. In other shows you have a bit of extra time or fluff or something to make the show more fleshed out and balanced. Kind of like breathing room. RWBY on the other hand is constantly hitting off major point after major point without anything extra in it. Things like society’s view on depression due to the Grimm or how suicide is looked at in this society? Or any relationships the cast has of what is necessary at that specific time? Or just a little bit of time to develop things (like your example with Emerald)? Can’t do that. Got a giant ass world to go through, a tightly wound plot, a bunch of characters to consider and fucking more if I tried to think. Even something as simple as setting up the Pyrrha statue with a quick shot of it just slightly out of frame once is too much. Just about everything hits exactly as much as is necessary for the show to function before racing off to another necessary moment. The only show I’ve seen more bare bones than RWBY is Gunbuster. …And that was more of an OUTLINE of a show. But I have to disagree on one point: This is not their first story. Red Vs. Blue existed before this and the part that a RWBY writer was involved in (Chorus Trilogy, Season 11-13) shows similar issues (like the abundance of characters and being tightly wound though not to RWBY levels). This really is likely the result of inexperience. A few years in a writing class or practice probably would help RWBY out a lot. But Miles and Kerry didn’t start out as writers. They were interns that got roped into a story that got REALLY ambitious and big without knowing what would happen. That’s just how the cookie crumbles at times. … Also a longer production period to make longer episodes would probably help since, from what I’ve heard, a LOT gets cut in RWBY’s production. That last point is something I always say Especially when they said the reason why they took like a 2 month break in between this season was to make the last handful episodes better. Which makes me think why didn’t you just wait longer than a year to make this volume.
There was nothing problematic the the white fangs portrayal they started off as good ( ghira) but got impatient and sienna took over ( and while she isnt as bad as adam she is a terrorist leader  who hada big impact on adam and we will emphasize that she is just not as bad as adam but still bad) 2.    we will delve into sienna and adams past and how adam became who he was and how sienna started the fire which led to her downfall  and adam falling into his inner darkness. and emphasizing that in the end ghira was right about his methods  while ghiras methods were slow they were  stable while violence would be quicker  in the short term but would be bound to fall apart  and lead humans to deem faunus a threat ) that siennas advocation of violence would be her starting a fire she couldnt control leading to adam and co seeing her as not violent enough leading to them betraying her for adam.  siennas semblance as a metaphor for this she saw adam in a emotionally weak position and his inner darkness and took him in to get him on her side and believe what she believes and that along with him giving into his darkness and his hatred would slowly corrupt him iinto the man he would become well I say corrupt but it would be more like enabling his worst tendencies leading to those tendencies to consume him for he wasnt criticized for his behavior. He  enjoyed seeing the humans in pain and had a sadistic smile a darker side of him but enabling him led him to becoming worse overtime also ( I would call sienna as opportunistic  taking advantage of young adams troubles and inner darkness to draw him to her side and beliefs and to help take over the fang and turn it into the violent terrorist which would fit with her semblance
( in the adam trailer its implied that sienna used adam to push her agenda when he wasnt mentally well sienna condoned/enabled his darker desires which led to him going from someone  who would go take what we deserve to take what I deserve. (sienna didnt stop adam from killing the sdc officer out of morality nothing shows that . they were on a mission so they couldnt take the time out of the day to kill one guard . also sienna didnt criticize those actions.
I would emphasize that  while sienna wasnt as bad as adam she is stil lbad  is  basically sienna started the fire which she couldnt control and that fire/darkness consumed her she was the one who advocated for violence and adams mentor  who he listened to and whose actions sienna condoned  never punishing him until he fell off the deep end and by then it was too late It had gotten to the point his influence spread to the rest of the fang and her guards with them believing she wasnt violent enough. think of it like sienna letting him listen to his inner darkness  his desire for violence enabling him to become worse than what he was 
maybe have someone bring up that in the end sienna’s was destroyed by the fire she made that she advocated for violent and this set up on the path which led to the white fang being so radicalized that they saw her as not violent enough.
Maybe have ilia realize that sienna' khan’s methods weren't good either  ( like have her be conflicted even with sienna’s methods and have blake bring it up  that  the radicalization sienna' started destroyed her.
or have sun comment it when he was suggesting destroying the white fang
 that if white fang got so radicalized that they would kill sienna' the one who started the radicalization   it needs to be destroyed
(maybe name drop sienna' in v2 and have sienna' outright show dislike for her)
maybe put a suggestion of changing the white fangs name to something like white paw ( to represent an outstretched hand to represent the desire to unite human and faunus together)
since even fangs carry the threat of violence and the Grimm had white fangs ( which is why the name still fits after the Grimm masks started being put on though part of me would want to suggest changing the name to red fang when sienna' takes over to help differentiate between sienna' and ghira’s white fang in discussions. ( I mean Monty gave faunus human ears  to help with cosplay)
since I recall that in the black trailer manga it was suggested the name was chosen to represent a fang untouched by bloodshed.
basically emphasize that the  violence sienna khan advocated  for  led to adam taurus and the people who supported him
that feeding to desire for violence the hatred   slowly warped the white fang into wanting genocide
that it was a poisonous
I would also emphasize that the ghira’s methods were working but sienna khan and others were impatient and felt it was too slow that it would be faster to get violent and force people to do what they want
basically ghira’s methods were methods that truly worked  but were slow and stable ( and during an argument  with sienna he brings up the rwby equivalent of rome isnt built in a day and says that while its slow its stable while your methods to build something would end up collapsing on itself you wont be able to control what you have built and sienna dismisses it )
sienna’s violent methods were were faster due to it being easier to inspire fear but created unstable ground that was bound to give out  due ot a mix of the hate humans would have of them  (  which would  win over fear   ) and 
the radicalization of the white fang ( since once she gave the okay for violent methods it would lead to radicalization by people who thanks to celebration for their violence  led to them getting worse and worse ( basically feeding into the fire of hatred to cause it to grow  and lead her to her destruction )
adam being given the okay to enact violence led to him getting worse and worse
emphasize that when you give the okay for violence its hard to control it and that sienna’s ideaology for causing fear isnt helpful for that
 4. include filler to have the characters interact more with each other , for example having blake and ruby mention fairy tales and talk about their favorite ones in some of the early episodes
like maybe as a joke ruby stumbles upon blakes journal and was about to read some fanfiction blake made about the rusted knight and blake catches her and diverts her attention into a talk about fairy tales  and the meanings behind them
 maybe do the same thing with blake and sun and have blake and sun go to tuckers shop to check out the books there. Sun due to finding out blake is really interested in books decides to start looking more into books/fairy tales  and asked blake what books are she interested in, what books does she recommend, and asking her to tell him a good place to get books etc 
This would make it so they found tuckers body. tucksons being a former white fang member who owns a book store would be a neat set up to have tukson and blake know each other. This would be a neat way to lead up to the v2 blake arc with blake being effected by tuksons death 5. we keep suns original v1-v3 appearance with blonde hair and dark eyes and tanned skin it has a nice contrast with blake having pale skin black hair and golden eyes. 6. For adam we can possibly go with him being a silver eyed warrior unless the crwby wants to say that being a SEW means you never go bad  for adam we can have him end up being grimmified by salem as a reference to how he references the beast from beauty and the beast and how he started to put the grimm mask on as a reference of becoming the monsters they think we are This  can have two avenues First Option:  The v6 finale fight never happened and he was captured by salem due to hazel who brings him in after seeing his silver eyes.In the adam trailer adams mask fell off so they could see his eyes right then, or maybe his mask would get knocked off during the haven fight 2nd option he survives the v6 finale fight ( yang just punches adam in the head )  is captured but freed by cinder who saw him as still useful and convinced him by telling him we are going to bring down atlas and the fact she saw his silver eyes and remembered the fact that salem wanted ruby rose  so she thought she could use him as a tool before giving him over to salem  in an attempt to please her.
it would neat for the grimmified adam vs ruby to happen given monty outright stated the difference between them is scatter vs wilt ( life ( propagation of seeds) vs death wilting is when a rose dies and turns ugly) and the whole bulls chasing the color red is of course this depends on how long the grimmification process takes
so maybe the grimmifcation process happens  after atlas arc ( the hound would still be a thing so during the v8  finale blake tried to warn him but he didnt believe her and  he ended up stabbed in the back in a metaphorical way  before taken to salem 
3rd the v6 fight still happen and adam isnt a sew and is knocked out 
if  the v6 finale fight stays Blake would say something to emphasize that she has no romantic interest in yang 
( I don't get why yang grabbed the knife when Adam was charging at blake (yang doesn't use weapons it would be faster for her to  just tackle Adam and grapple /punch him)
before someone brings up instinct given that yang doesn't use weapons wouldn't her instinct/reflex point to her using her body
(maybe  in 4th avenueif we go Adam still ends up dying we can make it so when blake grabbed the knife she closed her eyes  and went for the stab due to not wanting to see Adam die ( so instead of killing Adam while he was going for an attack it would be Adam while he was already subdued which would mess blake up a bit )
 the 5th  avenue is that he ends up encountering cinder leading to him after v5  so the v6 finale fight doesn't happen instead it happens in atlas 
( he isnt a sew  in this situation
4th avenue the blake and yang fight still happen like in canon
and blake brings it up when talking to yang about it 
and either
adam dies but blake ends up bringing up how she didnt need to kill him sometime afterwards ( like when yang tries to go they did what they need to do and yang actively chose to kill him)
or adam survives but isnt a sew
7. Sun wukong in the rwby remake knew how to read and write
and as aresult of hearing that blake died when the crew ended up in vacuo 
he would grieve  and wonder if he could have saved blake if he went there with his team
either 1 blake tells sun about salem
2.
 ozpin explicitly tells Blake not to tell sun about Salem because ozpin felt it was a burden he didnt need to bear and brought upp  that  sun might let it slip ke blake would acknowledge that  its a burden while showing trust and respect for sun  
or sun does learn  about Salem  due to sun seeing the vision of salem emerald shows
 I think that blake should have been more sympathetic to ozpin ( comparing salem and him to adam and blake) and realizing that ozpin told salem about the relics   along with the other possible times his trust was betrayed leading him to his secret keeping and remarking on the infinite man)
and bring up how he
so while at first she is angry but she comes to sympathize with ozpin ( while still  losing hope)
saying she didnt tell sun because of the burden and it could be compared to ozpin not telling them  
(even in the scenario where sun finds out  about salem thanks to seeing emeralds trick
maybe  in a filler scene where they are talking about a book and sun comments about being a ninja  Blake doubts he can be an actual ninja given how he was with the blake being an ex white fang
or maybe sun in the scenario  where he isnt told there is a scene with blake taling about telling sun 
and blake tells sun about how they are heading to atlas and he asks her why ( he told her about the vacuo plan) ( and if he isnt told he starts wishing he was  after the fall of atlas and thinking about what he could have done to help blake  due to thinking about the possibility that she was dead
8.   blake or someone else during the v4-5 points out that sun left his team  and  sun will claim its different going they are fine he was planning on going back  and blake wasnt planning on going back to her friends which would just hurt them and her. 
he left to help blake
Also it would be outright stated that sun thought she was going to try and pick a fight with the wf due to her reaction to tucksons death ( he didnt know about her relationship with adam)
and sun would show trouble with  going to people / due to it not having immediate results (in btd it was stated that sun didnt  usually like doing something that didnt seem like it would have an end point but blake changed him so we can show suns  character development here) 
it would be added that sort of impatience swayed some people to join the wf or not try which caused suns tune to change
maybe bring up kali for this and have someone point out the similarities between blacksun and ghira x kali
Also blake would outright ask about suns past and family history due to a desire to learn more about him after realizing
and in this verse the white fangs flag after sienna took over changed to black and red basically replace the blue part with black 9. for the blake and yang moments ( keep the blake and yang moments in v2-v3 the same) 10. WEiss in the original rwby talked about how as long as she remembered they were being the faunus attacked her family but the wf only became violent  a couple of years ago either do one of two things Either  say that the there were other violent faunus groups besides the white fang but when the wf became violent siennas absorbed them. the other option being that change weiss’s dialogue to the last couple of years but that doesnt carry the strength  that the first option says so I prefer the first option I have an idea  maybe make it so  that  sienna and adam helped with the violent faunus groups with adam being told to do so,  and that the attack on the group happened due to people noticing adam. This could mean that they thought  they were with the violent faunus group who was part of the attack, which would lead to sienna taking advantage of it etc its possible that jacques had seen ghira as a thorn in his side to due the peaceful protests etc and it would fit the as long as i remember line. ( ghira caused change to slowly happen and that change cost jacques money. which would add how  ghiras change  slow  but stable rather then ineffective which I have seen some people claim
12. the whole jaunedice arc stays, dance arc stays, jaune being the one to kill penny and go to the ever after stays jaune is a main character  team e are main characters. jaune gets the screentime he deserves in the original rwby . the people who claim jaune gets too much screentime are being ridiculous
rwde has been connected with rwby hatedom due to how many times people bend overbackwards to attack rwby to the point they ignore basic things.
Or attack rwby for doing things which other shows have also pulled
the attack on jaune is partly due to miles being a writer so they try to use the bs that jaune is a self insert  to hit him with a cudgel to try and get him to do what they  want its why after v5 he got less screentime  and after getting volumes of not getting much they whine about jaune getting something to do in v8 . they just whine about him doing anything important or getting a moment of screentime.
like whining about how jaune and ruby being foils where  he was contrasted with rubys own breakdown 13. get rid of the cloaked skulking thing that sun was pulling when they both boarded on the boat ( I feel that the writers just did that to add some tension but make it so that sun doesnt pull that and straight up goes to blake) . also make it so that sun was just waiting  invasive moment to knock on the door, and warn Blake about a possible direct agent of Adam Taurus operating in Kuo Kuan ( I feel the bathroom lie was just for a joke sun didnt have a reason to hide this info from ghira  though its possible blake didnt want to get ghira involved
when sun and blake talk to each other he brings up that he thought it was going to be a repeat of ( the v2 situation) where she felt she was the only one who can handle torchwick and hurt herself with how focused she was
14. have blake and yangs relationship be like sisters they  are not romantically interested in each other  yang can still be bisexual or what ever I dont care blacksun is my otp so blacksun is endgame
and the tension between yang and blake will still be there after v6 ( with maybe yang  in relation to how due to not knowing sun chased after blake believing blake just ran with sun when she needed her
 ( which show in her feelings about blakes time with sun and wondering if she would have preferred being suns partner or thinking that blake chose to bring sun along of course this will be settled in v9 ( no romantic feelings would be involved 
and yang will fully trust blake ( I got this due to a rwby song which sounds like yang doesnt trust blake I believe its all that matters) 
)
or while the tension still lasted longer sun wouldnt have a part in the tension and the v6 finale would mark blake and yangs relationship healing/them becoming friends again  rather then it returning to how it was in v3.
or the relationship does heal .
either way yang and blakes behavior in v7-8 will be altered 
(
15. I would have a benevolent racist like the guy from teen titans 
“or a guy whose actually nice but…thinks lowly of the Fanaus without being mean. You know, kind of like how that guy in the Teen titans episode acted at the end but in general.The Youtuber Shady Doorags made a video about the 2000’s Justice League cartoon, about an episode where the heroes get transported into the setting of a 1950’s superhero comic. And in it, the Flash stand-in tells Green Lantern (whose an African American man) that he’s ‘a credit to your people’. And that’s kind of what I was thinking- Someone who is geniunely good but is still racist to show that racism is more complicated than 'racist equals asshole’. The person is good but still wrong, still a product of an ignorant society. Unlike say…Weiss, whose at her most racist AND antagonistic at the same time.“
and maybe have someone who hates white fang do to something bad happens to him ( like what ransik did in power rangers time force ( where after he helped a faunus ( a member of the white fang and saved his life they killed his family
or to quote sunder-the-gold
“The child of a human that Sienna Khan's methods got murdered, who has no reason to see faunus as anything other than the monsters who killed her parent.
A shopkeeper who didn't want to have anything to do with faunus, who either had his store burned down, or who opened his store to faunus out of fear of having it burned down. How his resentment would fester, and he would decide that if the faunus weren't going to leave him alone, he wasn't going to leave them alone, so he started giving money and information to an anti-faunus group that promised to drive the faunus away from his home.
I'd show the faunus of Vale who abandoned the White Fang after Sienna took over, and who continued trying to peacefully protest for change. 
I'd show how Adam attacked and terrorized them because his ego and spite would refuse to allow faunus to act like they had any alternative than serving as soldiers in his personal war.I'd show the child of a human/faunus couple (like Velvet Scarlatina) getting harassed by the White Fang for having a human parent.“
16. again emphasize that  attempting to get rights through fear will only cause problems in the long run. Because it only works until the other group realizes that they’re stronger than you then you’re back at square one. Or even worse, considering that you may have caused some of them damage and thus they feel the same righteous anger you do. That’s why the Civil Rights Movement is so great- rights through respect caused a chain reaction that made racism the evil in society we see today instead of an accepted fact
17.  fix certain errors created by miscommunication with animators like instead of blake outright slapping sun she slaps him on the shoulder
instead of oscar just running down the corridor and punching neo when she should have dodged oscar will punch her right when she turns the corner when she cant see it
( neo will force ruby to drink the tea since I hear thats what she was supposed to do.
18. we will have the yangs and blakes meeting stay like it is  in drafts where yang got worried about how se could have hit blake but changing the weapons  to her gauntlets and show blake being  surprised 
Tumblr media
19. the first couple episodes would be based off the white black and yellow trailer ( well the episode after the first one which would be ruby confronting roman and meeting ozpin 
20. it would be outright stated that roman is from brunswick where he lost everything ( neo would compare her and roman to ren and nora ( with ren in romans place)
21.
I have always felt team rwby and jnpr are foils so would do more stuff to emphasize that ( or just emphasize that in commentary
maybe if we keep adams confrontation with blake and yang  and adam be it in v6 or in atlas goeswhat does she see in you blake doesnt just go you are crazy ( which is what a good amount of people brought up  in refutation) she would flat out state that she doesnt think of yang like that she is like a sister to her
adam is the abusive ex (I imagine there are tons of abusive exs who would think their abused partner is in a relationship with someone  or their relationship with someone is romantic when its not.
I recall a story where someone tried to kill someone because they thought he was making moves on his fiancee when he wasnt
( there is nothing wrong with keeping the handhold scene as blake and yang face adam ( after blake held yangs hand after it was shaking) or the plane scene ( if still in v6)  since neither of them was inherently romantic
and outright contrast their relationship to renora
outright stating that while renoras relationship was romantic blake nad yangs is platonic
if we keep it in v6 we have to say that adam appearing in brunswick farms  and the train   was a hallucination to explain why adam didnt kill jnpr (or include a scene where they fought adam off maybe
or have the confrontation be
20. besides blacksun all the ships that were canon in og rwby for team rwby and jnpr  will also be canon ships for rwby and jnpr
21. you know given that first 3 volumes  episodes were so short I could imagine fitting  in one season
( basically add in filler to expand on beacon academy and give them bonding moments during the school year
or maybe just v1 and v2 with v3 being shorter
have it established that the start of beacon school year is in november
as . reddit . com/r/RWBY/comments/a7pi6k/rwbys_timeline_updated_for_volume_6_and_with_new/
and establish that she just turned 15/about to turn 15  at v1 when she met ozpin
so emphasize that the when sun first appears it was during the summer vacation (and that every time there is a vytal festival the students spent the last part of the year at one of the other academies ( in the hope to foster good relations between the other countries with the huntsmen
expand on the world building and bring up that humanity correlated the faunus with the Grimm ( believing that they were Grimm trying to disguise themselves as humans ( to correlate with Adam wearing the Grimm mask to represent becoming the monsters they think we are )
and this is due to the fact that Grimm often take the form of animals so in their eyes something that is like an animal but clearly isn't =Grimm ( basically superstistions 
and expand on the world building  showcase that a good number of vacuons hold a grudge to be frank.
(
and this led to a variety of fairy tales demonizing the faunus etc
22.maybe make it so blake due to knowing about the infinite man fairy tale would make the connection and go ozpin is the infinite man
and after ozpins rant  about how often he is deceived ( she would end up thinking of that he is the infinite man or thinking of it ) 
and while she would be angry at first she would quickly regret being angry due to seeing what he went through ( understanding towards someone keeping a secret due to fear) though her feeling about learning Salem is immortal is the same    
  and Blake   would miss sun  and it would bother yang'  due to her feeling Blake would rather be with her boyfriend then someone who is like a sister to her( which would touch on yang’s abandonment issues)
and would think of how she didn't trust sun with the knowledge even though she does trust his character
23. make it so ozpin recruited yatsuhashi earlier then Pyrrha due to his memory erasure semblance ( and utilizing magic with It so that if someone agrees to have part of their memory was erased its gone unless yatsu chooses to bring it back)
this way if Pyrrha declined the offer to become a maiden at any point  her memory would be erased to take the burden of knowledge of the maidens
(and yatsuhashi would agree to erase his own memories about it
and coco gets bothered that yatsu kept that a secret from them.
24. if we adapt btd  and have sun know about salem maybe make it so that sun brings up oscar’s nickname little boy oz that he overhears and yatsu ends up letting on that he knows something ( by saying sun should be quiet  (due to assuming he knows the truth
or we can keep the rest of them hearing about Salem through ruby’s message but ruby ends up bringing up yatsuhashi’s name as well
25.
to quote kob131 “Detail the conflicts between Fanus and humans as well as detail the history of Remnant with the Kingdoms. And also touch on things like how suicide, outbursts and public breakdowns are seen in Remnant due to the existence of Grimm.”
well I remember someone suggesting suicide for depressed people is encouraged due to the fact they would be Grimm magnets the idea came up due to jaune's reaction to thinking Pyrrha was telling him to kill himself ( also I would bring up that its possible that in remnant convicted by public opinion may have been a rule ( since if the public opinion thinks you are guilty and you aren't punished then there would be a lot of negativity ( maybe establish that in modern day vale etc that's no longer a thing since they are highly protected 
(due to his influence
maybe
and the desire to handle the mentally unwell is treated  more importantly then irl
though in some places like vacuo well they were put down in the past.
public breakdowns have been treated with worry due to the nature of Grimm and having a public breakdown/outburst can lead to Grimm ( or signs that this can cause Grimm to come)
“. You'd think a team of trained soldiers would notice all the signs of an impending mental breakdown - until you realize that Grimm-infested Remnant never needed to refine that skill. Every time a huntress started losing their grip, the stress would literally attract Grimm to their location, meaning other teammates could easily determine how bad the stress gauge was based on how aggroed the Grimm were. And if someone got angry enough to murder something, there'd be an endless slew of monsters to vent (or die to). “
maybe we can outright have this stated that if a huntsmen gets stressed   you can determine how bad it is by how agressive the Grimm are and the Grimm can be used to vent any negative feelings  ( this can be said about qrow and some stuff he did after summers death 
so if they were placed in a location with no Grimm that having a  breakdown can go uninterrupted
or bring up that ruby didnt look that upset
maybe a way we can make it so that blake and yang still end up separated from the rest of the group in ever after is make it so blake and yangs relationship wasnt fully healed in v6 ( after killing adam if that still happens) 
that they were on the path to healing and v9 is when their relationship is fully healed part of the things that hurt their relationship include ( blakes sympathizing with ozpin and suggesting they reacted badly) and blake talking about the time she spent with sun and wishing he could have come with . and yang being annoyed due to her abandonment issues and worrying that blake may have rather wanted sun as her partner instead
so the nonsense that yang spouted about blake being the only one to not be scared of her ( when we never gotten signs that this was the case in v1-v3)
howeve we will still keep some of the effects of yang being shown shooting an mercury in v3 by still having some people bad mouth yang and say she deserved to lose an arm for what she did to mercury or having glares   pointed at her by people who watched the festival
also
26. establish a timeline like say the length of sienna’s rule over the white fang and when  blake joins (maybe when she is 13 while showing a scene where adam  kills someone in self defense and says that ( maybe  the equivalent to the scene in v6 ( which we would change so ghira and sienna wasnt their ( instead he just calls sienna and she tells him what to do)
and then ghira and sienna showed up and ghira’s point was asking if he genuinely had no choice but to kill him or if he chose to kill them and was sadistic about it  prolonging it ( recognizing adam has darkness in him) and that it led to that guy being able to get close and questioning if it really was the only way to stop the guy or he just chose to make the attack with the intent to kill when he got that close ( maybe have this scene be the kill in self defense argument) bringinng up how fast adam is and his own personal skills/
also possibly change the reason for the attack ( just to make things diferent) since adam wore his grimm mask before that.
(I mean have the accidental kill be shown sometime before then ( which would be adam unlocking his semblance)
27. sun would be asked why he chose to become a huntsmen by blake and his response would be for fun( with the unmentioned part of being able to be useful enough to overlook his lawbreaking and his desire to find a place to settle down we would make it so sun shares the story about the tree with blake and he ended up coming to a realization that over time he began to view blake as akin to that tree) 
 and she ( maybe in v4 /5 ) would have a talk about that and how certain situations they are in mean they have to fight for more then just fun ( and sun will realize this that its his duty to help people even if he doesnt see instant results ( basically what they realized in v2) 
or maybe his answer to why he wants to be a huntsmen is a mix of allowing him to move place to place  with the underlying desire that he doesnt mention is to find the tree /home) 
, he is good at it , and he gets to help people ( so he already wanted to help people beforehand ( and blake would help him develop as a character by allowing him to be more patient and realize that there is  a point in doing something even if the results arent instantly apparent and he would compare it to how ghira’s methods ( og wf) methods were slow but they were better then trying to rush it with violent methods.
doing stuff that dont have instant results are still important
maybe he overhears about ilia overhearing adam talking about there being future attacks on other huntsmen academies
and this plays in suns head in vacuo
also ( maybe we can take rwby beyond ep 1 and sun can be more serious about thinking about where team rwby is and how they might not be dead even suggesting the ever after.
basically have a more serious version of ep 1 where sun convinced himself team rwby is in the ever after ( and he is doubted by some characters and maybe part of sun doubts it himself so he is shown crying )
maybe have sun not have any animosity towards the people of other counties ( and find it silly to express resentment for people from other countries for something their ancestor did 
and compare it to how some people looked at weiss
though he would not like coco’s get over it statement ( thinking she is saying get over what happened rather then get over the animosity  and pointing out the after effects of what happened)
 the animosity/tension lasts longer and that blake doesnt say to yang that I wll protect you line  instead she mentions that she talked about how she blamed herself for yang getting hurt  but that sun talked to her about how  she shouldnt  ( and yang took it as blake choosing to take sun with her. and abandon yang)
yang wouldnt have any romantic feelings for blake
if we do choose to have yang onesidedly develop a crush on blake ( which I would parallel with ilia)
I would show it and have it developed in between v2-v3
though I prefer not giving yang  romantic feelings for blake (
I think they were doing great showing the damage on Yang caused by Blake's actions but after they kill Adam we never see them talk about it, about why Blake abandoned her or how that make Yang feel. maybe add some roadblocks 
we can make it so Blake is more sympathetic to ozpin (maybe at first she got upset but afterwards she realizes the parallel with her situation with Adam and ozpin a situation with Salem (also we can possibly bring up sun since he was there for her during the timeskip Yang could be under the impression that blake specifically grabbed sun and took her with him ( what would you do with the ever after storm would you keep it (maybe Yang avoids talking about her abandonment issues due to hearing the bit with adams attempt to guilt trip blake and remembering the scene in v3 where Blake brought Adam up as to why she didn’t immediately say Yang didn’t do this
plus blake is a known reader she could have read the infinite man and realized it was likely ozpin so she knows what ozpin trusting the wrong person had led to.
( I meant that sun would be brought up in the talk since yang would have overheard a talk about blake and sun spending time with each other ( 
(or we could have blake bringing up the time she spent with sun as part of the tension and how him chasing after her  being there helped her
a
I mean with raven yang never knew her and after finding out about the portals she knew raven could have come back any time while blake is someone she was actually close with
and it bothers me that their relationship went back to how it was in v3 ( according to miles) after adam dies
it would feel better if there is still some underlying tension  in v7-v9 but blake and yangdont talk about it  until the thunderstorm scene. ( I think that in canon blake and yang getting together after the thunderstorm and seeing them be so happy while she is not getting alot along with jaune getting the attention due to being more obvious about not being in the right mental state  contributed to the breakdown which is why I am thinking about keeping the ever after storm but it being about yang and blake reconciling their friendship.)
( maybe blake misinterpre
( and possibly yang avoiding talking about her own feelings of abandonment  due to overhearing about adam trying to guilt trip blake about the abandonment and she remembers blakes comment in v3 about how she doubted her due to someone  she cared about ( adam)
or we can have adam fight scene take place in atlas ( where adam attacks blake in the portal world)
yang still saves ruby but it would be in a different way so she doesnt fall ( immediately
at the end of v5 instead of yang reaching out it will be ruby
and in the remake we will keep to what yang said at the start of v6 about how it will take time for them to get back to normal ( so v6 wont end with their relationship  going back to normal)
when their  relationship goes back to normal yang will start teasing her about stuf be it sun orthe fact jaune turned out to be the guy he made fanfics about
and yang will go to ruby when the apathy grimm come 
“So basically what I’ve been told and seen, is that the short scene after they kill Adam is Blake reassuring Yang that she won’t break her promise and her making up with her. So there was no need for a conversation about all that happened . and thats stupid “ I agree with this take we should have the tension with yangs abandonment and trust issues  last longer it wouldnt be solved with just weiss’s talk with yang in v5 ( we can either keep it in v5 or have it happen in atlas arc either way that wont solve everything)
and blake sympathizing with ozpin ( who in her eyes broke her trust broke his word and ran away  after being revealed to be a liar   ) will hurt their relationship/be a roadblock since she  has some trust/abandonment issues due to blakes action (and she already stated at the start of v6 that it will take some time to get back to normal)
also blake can make comments about 
 about sun (like saying he would likely have brushed off the reveal about ozpins lie  or stopped qrow from punching him ) as blake  saying she would prefer him as a partner  ( due to seeing vernals relationship with raven and thinking raven replaced her due to  someone making a comment implying that raven replaced yang with a new daughter. or qrow accusing raven of doing that
or yang thinking of that possibility ( due to raven being able to use vernal for the portals
(maybe some jerk  in v1-3 implies that raven could have  ran off with a new family and a new daughter and seeing vernal makes her remember this
maybe the guy overhears qrow talk about raven and after the mercury  situation he says this to hurt her due to taking a liking to mercury.
 ( also the mercury incident will be referenced post v3 by people having a negative view of her  in mantle/atlas ( they saw it and wouldnt have learnt about mercurys actions in mistral ( no bounties)
blake would regret not trying to stop qrow from punching oscar
 and yang understanding ozpin in v8 will be a step in that
“With Adam fight, just have Yang point out it’s 2v1, and some dialogue like “You think that will make a difference?” “You think it won’t?”.  the thunderstorm things we never said could be blake apologizing and yangs talking more about how she felt“
maybe change adam's line to what does she see in you humans and bring up blake abandoning him ( so maybe yang remembers blakes reaction to mercury incident so maybe yang could suppress how she feels about blakes abandonment not wanting to remind blake of adam (
as for the rwby remake equivalent of rwby beyond ep 4 and rubys breakdown in v9 it  will center more on ruby and her own flaws that ruby should have tried to rely more on her teammates and open up about how she was feeling 
“That question implies that it's intentional. The point of the scene is that Weiss, Blake and Yang all relied on Ruby so much she didn't feel she could rely on them. It's the same kind of situation Jaune had all the way back in Volume 1 with his struggling at Beacon and Cardin: Jaune was going solo when he should have been relying on others.Personally I don't particularly like the way it's framed. It's not really Yang or Blake or Weiss's fault Ruby ended up that way. It was Ruby's own flaw that caused it and I think centering it on her is what should be done.But hey- at least they didn't have the characters talk about what Ruby did wrong in Atlas so they didn't retread TWO beats they already went through.“
the rwby remake will have more consistent writing  and better world building
 so if one of my ideas for future wouldnt be consistent with the writing of the rest it will be changed
the consistent thing that will always be the same for the rwby remake  is blacksun is endgame
and the white fang is portrayed as in the wrong and the violence that sienna khan wants is shown to not truly work and only make things worse for the wf in the long run
and there will be better portrayals of racism against the faunus
with some of the racists being actual good people ( do not just make all of the racists bad people as if only bad people can be racists
he would address jaunes feelings about mantle and keeping secrets to ironwood. jaune would be against keeping secrets from ironwood 
here is a suggestion:
and suggest that it would be better to tell him earlier for keeping such things secret from him for a while may make his reaction worse. 
and suggest at the start that ozpin and qrow could talk to ironwood and help him out with his issues to try and help him get to a stable place in his head ( or suggest that he could try to do that ( bringing up how he helped Neptune out of his sensitivity of his dancing issues

Recently, I've been watching the voice actress for Aerith playthrough FF7, admiring Aerith's house and garden and I look back on rwby thinking how it has so little of that. Aside from their literal homes, the girls spend so much of the series on the move that none of the locations they visit have much significant meaning to them; from the random, forgotten village where Jaune forged his weaponry with Pyrrha's to Weiss being totally cool with dropping her Atlas on Mantle.
You know, that's a really interesting point. Setting is such a crucial part of experiencing a story and the emotional weight of RWBY's has, arguably, been lacking. Not with Beacon, I don't think. School settings are classic and from the cafeteria food fight to the girls' decorated dorm; Oobleck and Port's classrooms to Ozpin's secret vaults, there was a real sense of lived-in space there. When I think about the home of RWBY, I think of the school, not the literal homes that we only spent a comparatively short time in, split four ways across a Volume. The events of Volume 4 and some of 5 were too packed to allow for much of that character work through the setting. With the exception of Yang having a flashback in her kitchen and Weiss being locked in her room (I do love the visual of summoning this giant knight in her tiny, isolated space) there's not much that had an emotional impact on me in terms of the setting. Certainly not the Haven house that was immediately tainted by the Volume's many problems.
What stands out to me is that none of the characters miss spaces. Nor do they really grieve for them. We don't hear the group reminiscing about Beacon. The one conversation we get, at Haven, is about how much they've grown and moved on from that place. It's not an acknowledgment that this placed they loved is just gone (or at least, currently inaccessible due to grimm). That ability to shrug off the loss of a home is cranked up to a thousand when we see none of them balk at - or even mention as a relevant concern - the fact that using Ambrosius will destroy an entire Kingdom. I agree with Robyn that the people are more important than the place, but that doesn't mean everyone involved in that decision shouldn't respond to it as the emotional decision it is. Volume 7 tried to make us believe that Weiss was standing up to Marrow to defend her home - the home she twice tried to run away from - and then Volume 8 went straight to complete disinterest in its destruction. As you say, RNJR spent all of Volume 4 going through forgettable places. Ren is the obvious exception there, grieving his hometown and the people there, and it's probably why I find it to be one of the better parts of the Volume. Ruby leaves home with just a note. Oscar does her one better by leaving his Aunt, presumably with no idea of what's happened to him. Atlas, prior to its destruction, could have had a new sense of home attached to it, but we kept moving from place to place for short bursts: Ironwood's office, the meeting room, their dorm (only to wake up in a gag montage), out in the mines, out in the streets, at the election party, in three different training grounds, in the hideout, in Atlas HQ, in Amity, in the whale, at the manor. That's the place we spend the most time in come Volume 8 and... that right there is the problem. The middle of the battle was not the time for the group to sit around in a safe, comfortable space and try to develop. The downtime of Volume 7 was actually quite hectic, bouncing the group all over the Kingdom and not allowing them (and the audience) to get attached to one particular place. "It will be just like Beacon!" Penny said. Not in terms of gaining an attachment to the setting it wasn't.
RWBY became a travel story and that's fine. The problem is not that they move around a lot, but that they're not striving for home and they're no longer making meaningful connections with where they've been. Compare Volumes 4-8 to Frodo and Sam, frequently recalling the Shire and using the thought of home to spur them on. Why is the group doing all this? The meta-narrative claims it's for their loved ones (trust love), but the primary text makes no mention of them. Ruby and Yang don't long to return to Tai. Jaune isn't worried about his six other sisters in the world. Hell, he wasn't even worried when grimm attacked while one sister was standing in the danger zone. Blake has no plans to return to her family and pick up with the White Fang. Weiss has no thoughts about the destruction of her Kingdom, is not there for the death of her father, and "dies" after a speed run reconciliation with her mother and brother. Qrow has rejected Raven, Ozpin, and has made no mention of Tai. He's also the one the rest of the group keeps forgetting about, left to be missing, in prison, and then alone in a destroyed Mantle. Oscar, as said, hasn't even made mention of his Aunt, nor has a desire to return to the farm become a part of his struggle with the merge. Ren and Nora are the only ones whose home is solely with one another, yet Nora has rejected that, so... what now? What is everyone fighting for? We're left only with this generic "Kill Salem because she's the established bad guy" motivation. It rings hollow and a part of that may well stem from the group's disinterest in the homes attached to those people. We'll presumably only get a Volume (maybe two) of this island and I doubt the end of RWBY will take place in Vacuo, so we're set to leave two more hastily developed locations behind. Maybe if the group were having a positive impact on these places like they did in Volume 4, it would feel more like these places meant something to them (and us). As it stands, the group is currently leaving only destruction in their wake and they don't seem to care about the untouched homes they should want to return to. They're just wandering on this mission because it's The Right Thing to Do. They have no plans, no desires, no drive, no wants, no motivation beyond "kill the bad guy because she's a bad guy." They feel unmoored from the world they're trying to protect and that makes them incredibly hard to connect to nowadays.
