Weiss’s worst fear

Weiss’s worst fear is losing her identity to what her father was. it’s also letting her fear for him control her again. his abuse is so strong it makes her want to give up and surrender. that’s what she did for years, and she’s afraid that even when he’s gone, she’ll give in to it again.

Gigantic fan of when Penny stays a gynoid!

I recently read a fanfic where Penny not only kept her body but she actively embraced it!

I don't like it when fanfics make her human because the fact that she's not human and yet acts so human despite it, is such a big part of her!

Maybe I'm weird for not liking that she became a human. I know that her second death was about her taking control of her life and such. It fits well with her allusion to Pinocchio of becoming a "real" girl.

Not Ren the emotionally aware/unaware/closed off king finding out that his semblance has evolved to the point that he can literally see emotions while with the Ace Ops and just. Live, in front of everyone, fully exposing everything the Ace Ops are feeling.

POV, this 19 year old with a license that should have taken him another 2 years to get just called out that you were genuinely devastated about the loss of your teammate in front of all of you teammates that you treat like "colleagues only"

could I see a Ruby, Penny, and Oscar prompt based on this?

(Okay, since this looks kinda funny)

Weiss: "Penny!? Ruby!? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

Ruby: "Remember that gum we got from Walker Wunku?"

Yang: "The weird candy maker?"

Penny: "Upon further analysis, and what our current predicament: This confectionary contains an edible element similar to helium."

Jaune: *confused* "Meaning...?"

Pyrrha: "They ate experimental helium gum."

RWBY music is back!

Breaking news. The soundtrack for RWBY volumes 7, 8, and 9 has returned to streaming services. This includes both vocal songs, and incidental non vocal soundtrack.

There is currently no update on the music for earlier volumes outside of the vocal album released by Jeff and Casey last year.

Why didn’t they just have Ambrosious make a bunch of hallways instead of an area that has no safety rails and an endless abyss. Or maybe just a place with a floor and walls.

Or even just make doors that go to the vault itself, and then just one door that goes to Vacuo.

For that matter, why not just move the whole of Mantle in one big door? Then just drop it somewhere else.

Create a giant door that catches the whole of Atlas and drops it somewhere in the sea. Make a second Atlas and destroy the first Atlas by collision.

Just create a giant guy to catch the island and hold it on his shoulder. Cinder would never predict that. A giant colossus. What could they call him. It’s a real thinker.

That would be pretty funny though.

I think I've cracked the primary conflict of the Atlas arc: James and Ruby are each other's foils. They're too similar to have ever been able to work together.

Both of them have placed the burden on themselves to be the sole hero who has the plan to save the day and neither of them are ready to accept that they don't need to do it alone, that they can share the load with people they trust. When Salem arrives, neither of them have a real plan. Instead they act on impulse because they feel like everyone is counting on them to be the one who has a plan to win. But their differing backgrounds mean that same impulse takes them in very different directions. 

James is the pinnacle of the Atlesian man. He has been raised and trained to see strength as the willingness to sever all sentiment and accept any sacrifice in service to his kingdom. When he sees a situation with no clear solution, his impulse is strength. Save Atlas no matter the cost. 

Ruby was raised on fairy tales and the memory of a mother who seemed to have come straight from one of those stories. To her, a hero is someone who always saves everyone, who can find a way out of any situation without compromising their morals. When she sees the same situation as James, her impulse is hope. We CAN find a way to save everyone, we HAVE TO or I'm a failure.

While neither of these are particularly grounded viewpoints, I do think Ruby is more in the right because she’s reacting to James’s stubbornness more than instigating the conflict herself, and she’s at least trying to do the right thing. That impulsiveness leaves her desperate and floundering to actually find a solution which I think makes some people feel that “Ironwood at least had a plan”. 

But James’s “plan” is equally impulsive and short-sighted. He immediately jumps to “run away without finishing the evacuation” without actually making any effort to figure out if he has time to do something more. And we see in V8 there was in fact time to send a distress call and probably to evacuate at least much more of Mantle. But James can’t allow himself the time to think things through. Everyone needs him to have A Plan!  Never mind that it'd probably only buy him a few months at most while cutting him off from all allies and material resources.

Annon-Guy: What're your thoughts on RWBY as a series? There are a lot of people who think it went down the drain sense Monty Oum (May he Rest in peace) died even though he and the others planned the future volumes.

My overall thoughts are neutral. Like any other series, RWBY has its highs and lows. I like some things, such as the animation as the series progresses, the variety of Grimm, some characters such as Weiss and Jaune, and the music. Though, there are some things that can be done better such as some points in the story (i.e., the conflict in Atlas/Fall of Atlas, The Struggle of the Faunus/White Fang storyline), and certain character designs (i.e., Jaune's banana haircut that doesn't work in 3D or Weiss Atlas attire) and choices (i.e., how Ironwood's fall was presented, not having Yang notice Ruby's breakdown).

So I had an idea to read General Ironwood's Ultimatum as Mickey Mouse. I am so sorry.

Steve: We can still solve this peacefully, James.

Ironwood: You're either with me, or you are against me. It's your choice.

Steve: No General. No, it's not.
