Do you guys remember when I made this post about wanting chill pointless just-for-fun video games in franchises I already liked like Fire Emblem and Kingdom Hearts?

Well, I was thinking about my concept for a chill Fire Emblem Three Hopes/Houses concept - A Fire Emblem 3 Houses/Hopes game with no war where you just build friendships/romances with the characters and pair people off romantically - and I was thinking..... That would work so perfect as a RWBY video game concept.

NOTE: I actually don't think this should get made because Rooster Teeth sucks, there's members of CRWBY that overlap with RT such as one of the main writers for all nine seasons Miles Luna, and I do not trust any rwby writer to make things that aren't bad. I'm just talking about something that I would find fun and would love if I got to make something good entirely with no input from RT or crwby.

But like just imagine a RWBY game where you just go through four years of school being able to improve character's skills (impacting whether or not they do well in the Vytal Tournament,) and getting characters to interact. Maybe you could do special things like have characters spar together, study together, go on outings... And maybe based on dialogue choices you can pick and what you choose the characters to do, you can make your characters either platonic, romantic, or enemies!!! And maybe you could collect various characters to play as, as the characters come into play and you can only send them on outings and increase their stats and control their dialogue if you collect them. So you can start out able to play as all the members of Team RWBY and quickly gain the option to collect Team JNPR, and then eventually get Penny and Sun, and so on and so forth.

And I can imagine people saying "But Kitkat! What about the teachers like Oz and Ironwood and Glynda that I love so much? How do I collect them if it's about increasing student stats and playing around with romances?" Well, this is a video game where I get to imagine up and make the rules, so I think you should be able to collect and increase the stats of and play around with romances with adult characters too, they just won't be able to do the vytal tournaments obviously, and their romances would be with other adults, and when you send them on missions they're like more serious missions than the missions you can send kids on.

I can also imagine people saying "But Kitkat! What about the villains like Roman and Emerald and Cinder that I love so much? How do I collect them?" And to that I say that once you send people out on missions, they can encounter villain characters, and based on your choices get the option redeem them into good guys! And if you do they can start working for Ozpin and appearing around Beacon and able to send on missions and develop dynamics with the characters you have. I feel like I would keep Salem and Jacques non-recruitable, but almost every other villain would probably have the possibility of being redeemed and collected for the people who want it.

And just in case anyone says "But Kitkat! What about when students or Headmasters from other schools have to go home, and when former-villains or teachers are out on missions?" Well, I would want something sort of similar to MySims agents. On MySims agents, you can recruit all kinds of characters you encounter and then can form little groups and send them out on missions, and when you do, you get pop up updates with a bit of character dialogue where you can make choices for the direction of the missions.

I mean, obviously more serious in general than the silly stories in MySims agents, but the general idea would be that even people you don't always have around Beacon, you could still be getting updates about them through messages like this. And for the older people who already graduated or who never went to Hunter schools, you can create teams for them to work in - for instance I've long loved the idea of Roman, Neo, Emerald, and Mercury forming a team together, and so I could pair them up in the video game!

Also I only just thought of this, but what if we didn't just get 'four years of school' and we also got at least two years of being able to see Ruby and Weiss and Yang and Blake and all the other students as full time Hunters! You could break up teams outside of Beacon and form new ones! If you didn't like Weiss and wanted the rest of Team RWBY to work with Velvet instead, you could do that! And you could make people graduate and then decide you really want... Sun and Adam to pair up and join a team with Flynt Coal and Penny Polendina! You could make Ruby graduate and join the freaking Ace Ops, or whatever you imagine or want.

Also obviously you'd get to experiment with new outfits and different looks (especially based on character choices, like for instance getting casual look options for Weiss if she breaks away from the Schnee wealth and name, but getting fancier look options for Weiss if you took her on a colder path into being a worse person more like her dad and grandfather.) And then at the end of the game, if you've done all the romantic growth you can literally make people get married and you do not have to do only canon ships. You could make... Ruby marry Whitley, or Weiss marry Neon Katt, or Jaune marry Ren, or Qrow marry Ironwood, or Mercury marry Emerald if you want. The possibilities are endless!

Idk, I have a lot of ideas, but this is like... my fantasy game for RWBY. RWBY Arrowfell? No freaking thanks. But this concept right here literally keeps me up at night.

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I have been vacinated about 30-45 times in my life. Do you know how much I paid for it? Not a dime.

My great-aunt had a tumor and had to treat it with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. She was fully recovered. Do you know how much she paid for it? Not a dime.

One of Brazil's most famous tv show hosts who has been in show business for over 40 years with over 30 milion views had a kidney transplant this year. Do you know how much he paid for the transplant? Not a dime.

When my mother is bored she walks a block up to the public health center and gets a check up. Do you know how much she pays for this? Not a dime.

My mother has been going to the psychologist. Do you know much she has paid? Not a dime.

Does this enrage you? It should. When Luigi said "this" was a insult to the American people's intelligence he probably meant the mediatic circus around his person, but if we're to be honest you could say the same about USA's healthcare politics. Do not let them tell you it "has to be this way" and "there is no other way." There is. You CAN have better healthcare. You DON'T have to sell your house to pay your medical debt. They are MAKING you do this ON PURPOSE. Don't forget that.

I don't usually have any kindness to spare USAians, but we are with you in this one. The world is watching. You CAN turn this around! Don't let them desincourage you.

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

After 30 years of searching for his lost brother through demonic rituals and summonings, Ford has become a bit of a notorious demon collector over the years. He's made a LOT of deals with MANY different demons over the years; from minor and harmless little entities to big and powerful overlords. Most of the time, these deals aren't really a one-way situation, so a lot of demons have a strong grip on him just as much as he does on them. It often ends up being a mutual sort of destruction, as in: "I know I'm but a mere mortal trifling with things I couldn't begin to fathom, and I know you will destroy me eventually; but I don't care as long as I get to destroy you too." He just needs to live long enough to find his brother.

The red hands are essentially pieces of himself (his soul, you could say??) that he wields as his method of restraint to the demons he has "tamed" so far. They act as a leash to contain each demons' powers, and he can loosen or tighten his hold on them as much as he wants. The number of hands required to contain a demon really depends on their individual strengths, but 3-4 hands are already very energy consuming.

YES, I gave all of his demons stupid names. SUE ME.
