#rwby 6 trailer

[lightkrets312]

to the people who write summaries and wikis with thorough breakdowns of all the lore and media for a series that breaks it up into 20 different formats: you are doing fantastic work, may it remain intact and accessible well into the future, I owe you my life

to the people that decide splitting your series into 20 different media formats with critical lore in most/all of them is a good idea:

ARCHIVE YOUR SHIT IMMEDIATELY, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING.

RWBY: Could Adam Taurus be redeemed?

First/Disclaimer: just want to say I’m not trying to excuse abuse or manipulation or any of the creepy awful things Adam has done I just think Adam is even more than Jaune could have been that 5th main (male) character that the show kinda keeps feeling it needs to have between Jaune, Oscar, and others as Adam has been an important figure and existed since the black trailer which makes him the third/fourth oldest character in the series

So Adam Taurus who was introduced as early as the Black Trailer was a character that many fans didn't like how he turned out by the end

In summary, he went from this mysterious powerful but low-empathy former partner of one of the main four girls (Blake) to some crazy ex-boyfriend who died in a sense to wrap up the racism plotline they had trouble writing and to ignite the ship between Blake and Yang

A lot of stuff missing but that's a summary

Many people have said Adam couldn't have been redeemed some even claiming that the redemption Adam could have gotten was given to a different character in Ilia as their background was similar but the difference being Ilia wasn't the person during Volumes 1-3 that had those actions tied to their name and was simply who they focused on to have that redemption in volumes 4-5

But I think one thing people forget or don't think matters is that-

Adam was forced to do many of his actions in Volumes 1 - 3 because of Cinder

For those that don't recall in Volume 3, we get a flashback that explains how Cinder recruited Emerald and Mercury along with them stealing part of the Fall Maiden’s power from Amber

But something that gets overlooked is that Cinder first came to Adam trying to get the White Fang's help which takes place prior to Volume 1 as we see Blake is with them still and Adam refuses then Cinder comes back later with the Maiden power and essentially forces Adam and the White Fang to join her

This means all the actions the White Fang have done from Volume 1 through 3 are because they're essentially hostages or slaves to Cinder and her faction

There are probably things I’m not recalling or thinking of

As you can say Adam seems ok with the actions and decisions in Volume 3 and while sure maybe that’s fair or maybe reaching, I would just also say Volume 4 and onward Adam is very different from the Black trailer through Volume 3 in that it doesn’t affect my thoughts too much on the idea of redemption

But even so, there are several things that are held against Adam in terms of writing a redemption for him

He stabbed Blake making the whole former lover/partner aspect hard to lean on for redemption, and he disarmed Yang so hard to see someone like that switch to the same side as Yang

And his reactions and decisions in Volume 4 and on,

Adam gets power crazy and now instead of getting approached and being forced and somewhat manipulated he now wants the power the bad guys have and is willingly teaming up with Hazel making his gray actions more black/white

This leads to him killing Sienna Khan and forcing the White Fang to do things that make them look worse and him going from a neutral/third party or antihero to another unredeemable villain

And then finally stalking Blake to the point where he's trying to kill her and it takes Blake and Yang to finally end him

So how would I redeem him?

So leaving Volumes 1-3 alone as he has to do the bad stuff to be redeemed in the first place

Blake and Adam have to interact in Volumes 4-6

This can just mean replacing Ilia with Adam in Menagerie or reworking Blake’s and Adam’s whole storyline to include having them interact more

I think Blake and Adam are two sides of the same coin

Both faced racism and it radicalized them to join the white fang to fight for Faunus rights

But whether because of their different backstories or Blake had that eye-opening experience and Adam didn’t they ultimately got on opposite sides

Blake was so against their actions she ran away and didn’t speak up for Faunus to the same degree as Adam

Adam was so into their actions he went even further and vocalized his wants even louder and bolder

And… the issue isn’t with Adam here it’s Blake

There’s the classic MLK and Malcom X debate but I think something that can make more sense to compare is the X-Men mutant debate of Professor X and Magneto

Whereas Professor X wants to work with the humans to co-exist in peace whereas Magneto wants to be either completely separate from them (hence Genosha) or to be the dominant species and in some cases kill them

Adam is definitely the ‘Magneto’ dominant species side but I don’t think Blake had the opportunity to be the Professor X in the dynamic imo

And I think it’s because they never had a chance to just talk without the Fall of Beacon, the Attack on Haven, and the Volume 6 fight in the way

Plus Blake’s own personal issues she had in Volumes 4-6

If there was a moment that Blake and Adam could talk without the threat of violence or trauma, Blake is someone that could have that debate with Adam similarly that Prof X and Magneto have in their Chess games/debates

Plus I think leaning into the idea that Blake and Adam are a young Charles and Erik but also exes sounds intriguing enough

Basically, Adam needs a foil to bounce off of before it’s too late, the closest is Hazel but also not really

I think you need a character to challenge Adam like Iroh to Zuko Zuko wants to be like his father and Azula but Iroh’s teachings and care are what made the turmoil interesting and redemption believable

Adam didn’t have anyone to even put any good ideas in his head so it’s natural he just kept falling down that path which kinda makes him tragic but also not really since we don’t really get those hints of goodness from him

Even if it’s not Blake at least all the time it can be a character or like Banesaw or Sienna or Ilia to at least plant some different ideas in his head

I don’t know how you would rewrite it as the volume 4&5 timeline is tricky enough to sort out

And while I personally liked the BlakexIlia stuff as of right now Blake’s (and Ilia’s) storyline seems to have the least amount of impact on the greater story of the four girls as Ruby is Ruby, Weiss Schnee family was very involved in volumes 7-8 plus now her sister is a maiden, and Yang while mostly personal growth had her story with Raven who is also a Maiden

The White Fang is currently a nonfactor and maybe it’ll pay off in volumes 10 & on but her storyline seems mostly to get Blake back in the right mindset write off the white fang and tell a redemption story even if it wasn’t Adam

So Adam arguably more important than most characters in the show should probably have been the focus for volumes 4-6 if we’re going to kill him off still

So redeeming him makes sense to me even though in the canon show he probably doesn’t deserve it

Plus I think we missed out on a lot of interactions with a good guy Adam or just more Adam in general like Adam and Weiss with the Schnee brand history, a good Adam creates love triangle stuff (I know people hate love triangles lol), Adam’s reaction to the lore of Maiden’s relics and such, a true fourth the JN_R since they don't really commit to Oscar being it, Adam in the atlas plot, what would Adam and Ruby even say to each other? etc…

[questioninglogic]

Hi there! I don't mean to get you started, but, I'd love for you to break down Team RWBY's Aura Personality.

😅 Sincerely an individual whom you have piqued their interest and attention.

For context: (x)

Hi anon! First of all, thank you for this ask. I love RWBY so much and your message got me really excited to dive in! So much so I ended up... making it overwhelming at how much I had to say sdfsnjnsdj

I realized that I'm never going to finish this if I do all four girls in one post, so I thought I can start with one and write the others over time. Hope that is okay, and thank you for your patience!

. . .

The first thing I want to mention is the caption, where it states their aura is reflected in their personality. How this is displayed in RWBY is often shown visually: the characters designs, their colours, their actions. I will not only attempt to breakdown how these personality traits are represented in the characters, but how they are told to us through watching them on screen.

. . .

Ruby Rose: Passionate, Energetic, Driven

Red is a strong colour, said to bring out energy in a person by being in its presence. Red represents moods like passion, intensity and love.

. . .

Passionate: Capable of, having, or dominated by powerful emotions.

Early in the show, Ruby is shown to be very passionate about living life like a fairy tale. From hunters and huntresses defending a kingdom, describing slaying beasts as being romantic, to adoring the craftsmanship behind a users weapon.

This passion is also expressed with her love for her friends and family. She uses this excitement of being with them to make every moment count and to fight for what’s right. Even when Beacon fell, it was this passion that carried her throughout the Mistral and Atlas volumes.

These feelings of passion are not just positive, but all encompassing. When Ruby feels something, she feels strongly. When she was anxious to socialize, it was dreadful. When she saw the loss of her friends, it was devastating. When she lost her drive, it was shattering.

Ruby is an incredibly passionate person as she wears her emotions on her sleeve. She attempted to hide her negative feelings in volume 9, but if you look at and pick through various moments between volumes 7-9 this tension and stress would often come out in her dialogue and body language.

. . .

Energetic: Having energy or energies; possessing a capacity for vigorous action or for exerting force.

Ruby is full of energy. Her expression of adoration is displayed through quick patterns of speech and her eagerness to jump to action. Her weapon expresses this capacity for vigorous action with exerting force and intense power needed to slash an enemy. Add her semblance to the mix and she becomes a speeding bullet!

On top of how she utilizes this trait with her weapon, her semblance quite literally breaks down mass and becomes energy.

. . .

Driven: Motivated by or having a compulsive quality or need. Caused, sustained, or stimulated.

Her drive is as clear as her first moments on screen (whether you count the Red Trailer with her demolishing beowolves or episode 1 with her attempts at stopping Torchwick's robbery it's all the same).

She is a highly driven person: one who fights to protect humanity, fights for justice and is one of the last people to back down in the face of adversity.

Our minds might be focused on how her drive was displayed in volume 9, but let’s recall how she expressed herself after Beacon fell:

Volume 4: her choice to look at what happened to Beacon and decide to continue fighting. Going to Mistral while helping all along the way, this decision is the epitome of her drive.

Volume 5: remember her conversation with Oscar about moving forward, despite how much the loss of Penny and Pyrrha hurts she chooses to keep going

Volume 6: how Ruby was the last to be influenced by the apathy and the first to snap out of it. How she stood face to face against Cordovin's mech and a leviathan

Volume 7: even when faced with tough decisions, she continued to look to what was right with how she approached Ironwoood and co. How she stood by to protect Mantle the night of the grim attack

Volume 8: despite every horrible thing that happened in volume 8, she managed to pull together and create an ingenious plan to be able to gather and save Atlas, Mantle, Penny, everyone (and I am referring to how it was going before Cinder joined the chat)

Looking at volume 9, you see how Ruby is when she loses her drive. This is a huge part of her and her character, to the point that she becomes unrecognizable to herself. Who is she? What happens when she gives in to her doubts and anxiety?

In coming to terms with herself and learning she is good enough does she allow herself to become driven once again.

. . .

Finally, I want to direct you to her having silver eyes. This ability of light can be utilized with strong desires to preserve life. Feelings of love, passion, drive—these traits are literally her super power!

[egg-crusher]

So

I was scrolling through my page and I saw something which made me reconsider some things about the FNDM (RWBY’s fandom)

For starters, I want to say i completely understand if you dislike the character of Adam for one or two reasons

You don’t like how he’s written

You don’t like how much overshadowed Blake in her debut

You don’t like his design (I personally hate the volume 4-6 design)

You don’t like his personality and think he’s creepy

You dislike his fans since some can be very aggressive

Etc etc etc

But please, if you genuinely believe the following statements, block me, don’t leave your comment and never try to approach me ever again, thank you

“Adam branded himself” and “Adam deserves to be one of the Schnee’s summons”

The first implies a minority branded himself with the name of a company which officially causes the death of minorities (leaving many orphans) for their negligence, are colonizers, and in the comics kidnap members of said minority to work on their mines…

So he could shit on them, their evidence? He’s not mentally stable and knows how to manipulate people

Do I have to discuss why this headcanon/theory is so dumb? I’ll do it just in case

Why would he cover the scar if he scarred himself on purpose? Remember, Adam wasn’t always a bloody murderer who wanted to radicalize the entire fang to make a personality cult but he genuinely wanted to fight back against humanity

And saying a minority branded himself so he could hate on the rich white men is… something.

And now for the later… I’ll give some small context

When a Schnee (for example Weiss) kills a foe which gave her a very big challenge (for example that Nevermore from volume 1) is added to a galley of creatures she can summon, she later on learns to summon the Arma Gigas from the White Trailer, the Boarbatusk & Nevermore from volume 1, the Queen lancer from volume 5, and a manticore from volume 6 (it only appears una film)

This have a certain degree of autonomy since they can act out of the users view, and we are never told is ONLY Grimm which are turned into summons since they only say “enemies” so any being could perfectly become a summon, okey?

Now here’s the thing

they’re Adam, who’s a ex-slave of the SDC and has Weiss name branded on his face, deserves to be turned into a summon which is literally Slaving his soul to work for a Schnee for the rest of eternity

They think enslaving a ex-slave is worthy punishment because he wanted to slave humans for enslaving him… they’re proving someone (who’s super racist against humans) right, because is fitting (their words) and I think they meant is karma/ironic

This Is not karma, is just continuing the cycle of Abuse and proving him right

He was a monster but he was one because he was abused for being a Faunus and ended up thinking all humans deserved to suffer for what he went through, making him into a Slave after death only proves his point

Slaving Adam like he wanted to do with humans for slaving him only proves him right, “humans only enslave Faunus so Faunus should do the same”

Thats’s inhumane, but since is done to him for hating humans then is somehow right?! Slavery is never right, and people who think enslaving others is a fitting punishment then they aren’t better than the ones who slaved them, because I don’t think I should be saying this since this is something obvious every smart human being should know but… SLAVERY IS BAD and NO PERSON DESERVES IT specially since Adam already was a slave

Kill him and burn his body to ass, but making his soul into a puppet is not the way to go

And before you say “oh, him being a child slave is a headcanon” please go read the CANON descriptions of the character in amity arena

“Adam Taurus used to gaze up at the sky with bright blue eyes whenever he could, between shifts in the dust mines, dreaming of the day he would leave the tunnels behind to find his place in the world. But what he found instead was himself... on the ground, staring up at the three letters that damned him now and forever.

Scarred. Despised. Cold. Adam's heart grows black, his hatred red hot. The final traces of love, the beauty he let go, never returns, and as the last petal falls, Adam is cursed to forever remain a beast. Because, in this tale as old as time, there is no happy ending.

In this story... HE is the monster.

Adam Taurus had finally found his place, and he would watch humanity... burn.”

And before you say “oh that’s just form his point of view” you should check his other description which clearly states he’s in the wrong

“With a scar on his face and anger in heart, a wayward boy looked for a home. When he found it... oh, how glorious it was. Accepted and loved, here was his happily ever after.

But Adam was cursed with a gift few others had.

Adam had... talent.

And when Wilt tasted humanity's blood...

Adam realized he was... STRONG.

Now king without kingdom, he wonders where it went wrong.

Coming up with excuses, reflecting the blame,

Coming to a conclusion, all find insane.”

The descriptions are obviously from a narrator and not the characters themselves, so I think the narrator is reliable to some degree and isn’t Adam at all…

I understand not liking a character, but people have to think about what they say since they usually end up saying very racist things like this.

Adam was a villain and a evil one, but dear god, people treat him like he’s worse than Salem and cinder combined

Mable's RWBY Redo: Volume 2: Overview

So, I just wanted to go over what I'm kind of planning to do for V2 and get some people's thoughts on things if you don't mind.

---

First, as far as who's getting the focus for this volume, RWBY are all on the A tier. This whole volume is going to be pretty heavily focused on establishing their dynamic as a team. Jaune and Pyrrha are effectively going to be on the B tier. With most of Jaune's time spent with Ruby, Pyrrha, a bit with Weiss, and Cardin. Pyrrha will get some time with Jaune and Weiss. Ren and Nora kind of being put on the C tier and mostly being in the background for now.

Ruby's plotline is mostly her coming to terms with being leader, and we start to see Summer's shadow start creeping in.

Weiss will also be dealing with Ruby as the leader, butting heads with Blake, and trying to befriend Pyrrha.

Blake will also need to accept Ruby's leadership, it's almost like it's a whole team thing, and try to learn to actually work with a team again. Throw in a bit of paranoia too.

Yang will, you guessed it, need to accept Ruby as her leader or more specifically stop treating Ruby like her little sister so much. She'll have a tendency to kind of "overrule" Ruby on her decisions in combat.

Jaune will have to figure out how to begin to lead and ask for help. Putting away the false confidence a little bit.

Pyrrha will need to be a bit more open with her teammates about her thoughts and feelings. At least that's the focus for now.

Ren and Nora... will be beacon era Ren and Nora.

---

The characters introduced the volume will be,

Port and Oobleck, Cardin and the rest of CRDL, Velvet, and Neo.

No real changes to their characters worth noting.

---

For the episode count,

12 episodes of varying lengths and two trailers/character shorts before the volume labeled Gold and Bronze.

---

For the timeline,

The volume will start in the same place as "The Badge and The Burden" and end after "Forever Fall, Part 2" and before "The Stray".

Which will be roughly 4 to 6 weeks after the start of the semester.

------

If you have any thoughts or comments, I'd love to hear them. I'll have the next part up within the next few days.

Thanks for reading.

My favorite Crackship: Knightshade

The ship I respect but it's community is a bit to much for being literally the most popular: Whiterose

I would like your opinion on these two, no need to list my fav main ship, you already know👍

Aah, Knightshade. I’ll be honest, I’ve always kind of regarded this ship as great value Black Sun/Bumblebee in a way, but that is in no way a knock against Knightshade. It just confirms that Blake has a thing for cheery blondes XD

While sharing certain similarities with Blacksun and Bumblebee, there’s definitely enough unique about the ship to make it stand out as it’s own thing.

Also, the fact that Blake was fangirling over the Rusted Knight before she knew it was Jaune gives me the head canon that Jaune is why Blake likes blondes, and that will never not be hilarious to me.

All that said, Blake supposedly doesn’t like dogs…

But she doesn’t seem to mind this golden retriever.

7.5/10, but I could be talked up.

As for White Rose, I like the ship itself well enough, don’t really have any strong feelings one way or the other about. But some White Rose shippers could stand to chill out over White Knight. Again, some. Not all. Plenty of y’all are cool.

But back on topic, White Rose is a cute little ship thanks in no small part to Ruby and Weiss both being very cute themselves. They have that ‘opposites attract’ angle going on that people like, and the ship has the distinction of not only being the first RWBY ship, but having a fic written about it before we knew anything about Ruby or Weiss outside of their V1 trailers. That’s some dedication right there.

Personally I view Ruby and Weiss’s relationship as more of a sisterhood than a romantic bond, but that’s just me. Love it or hate it, White Rose is a shipping powerhouse for good reason.

6/10 as a romantic ship, but 9/10 as a friend ship (Heh, word pun)

The Evolution of Team RWBY

How each member of team RWBY would react when *NSYNC  or Backstreet Boys plays over the radio. Buckle up, Buttercups. This is a long one.

Volumes 1 & 2: Think RWBY Chibi roadtrip

Yang: (totally singing and dancing while driving. Not quite full sending yet, but still dancing with at least one hand on the wheel)

Blake: (reading and trying to ignore Yang’s shenanigans, but is lip syncing the words behind her book)

Weiss: (mortified) “Ugh! Seriously? Ruby, do something about your sister!”

Ruby: “Aw, c’mon, Weiss. It isn’t that ba- OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS THE BEST PART!!!” (copies Yang singing and dancing to the chorus)

Volume 3: pt. 1

Yang: same as 1&2 but purposely serenading Blake as much as possible

Blake: smiling and doing little shoulder bobs with her book in her lap

Ruby: Full send! Dancing like a maniac. Seatbelt is unbuckled and she’s shaking the car at stoplights

Weiss: rolling her eyes but smiling

Volume 3 pt. 2 & 4:

Radio silence

Volume 5: post Weiss and Yang finding each other. 

Weiss: (on Bumblebee - notices the song first and smiles before pretending to be mortified) “Oh, no! Not this song! Whatever will I do?”

Yang: (finally listens and beams) “You can join in some of the fun!” (drives bumblebee in a way that makes it look like the motorcycle is dancing)

Blake: (hears song over Sun’s scroll as he plays it for Kali, and smiles)

Volume 6: While the party is being pulled on a trailer behind bumblebee

Yang: (plugs scroll into bumblebee audio slot) “Alright! Time to shake off that apathy!” (sings and bobs while driving)

Ruby: “Yes!” (stands up in the trailer and dances like a goon)

Maria: “Would you sit down before you throw us all overboard?”

Blake & Weiss: (roll eyes before laughing and doing a synchronized shoulder shake left and right)

Oscar: (clinging to the trailer for dear life as it bounces) “Are they always like this?”

Volume 7: Fun Atlas Montage 

Ruby: Full Send! Jumping up on bunks and dancing like an idiot and singing horribly off-key.

Weiss: Actually dancing along to the music.

Blake: Trying to dance but is only solidifying that she has no rhythm.

Yang: Full dance machine and singing along with the choreography.

Volume 8: 

Radio Silence

Volume 9:

Blake: (plays song on scroll to lighten the mood and pulls Yang to her feet) “Still have a dance for me?

Yang: (gay disaster extraordinaire) “Always!”

Weiss: (rolls eyes fondly) “Brothers, you two definitely went from one end of the spectrum to the other, didn’t you? (joins in the dance party after grabbing Rusted Knight Jaune)

Ruby: (sulking in the corner)

Volume 10: Please Greenlight

Bonus!

After The War: Everyone is back in the car. Yang is driving. Blake is shotgun. Weiss and Ruby are in the back.

Yang: Completely losing her mind as she sings and dances in the driver’s seat. Hands aren’t even on the wheel consistently. Serenading Blake at every chance while holding imaginary microphones to Weiss and Ruby in the back.

Blake: Seatbelt? What seatbelt? Girl actually found some rhythm and is doing full body rolls in her seat while singing and winking back at Yang

Weiss: Singing a perfect harmony to the song while dancing. Her window is rolled down and her arm is waving out in the air like she absolutely does not care.

Ruby: Standing on the backseat so she can stand in the open sunroof and hit that choreographic combo 100%. She still can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but she’s doing her best. 

Team ORNJ parked next to them at the red light doing the exact thing with Nora in the sunroof, Jaune driving, Ren sitting shotgun calmly, and Oscar flopping around like a chicken having a stroke in an attempt to dance.

[nliast]

I don’t rly have a crack ship or anything, I just wanted to say, I was in the RWBY fandom back when it first started, then I dropped off around volume 6. I followed you for Overwatch fanart back in about 2017, and now it’s come full circle and you’re doing RWBY fanart.

I just think it’s really neat yknow???

You found me bc of Overwatch :o? tbh that makes me feel happy. I thought my art was not appealing enough. About RWBY, I've been in the fandom since White trailer and I started drawing in 2014 (pls, don't search for that... all that process is ugly.) and since then I've been posting my art from time to time (3 months active and then I disappeared, and repeat, or something like that lmao) maybe you didn't find it sooner bc my self-steem about my art has always been in shaking grounds. Recently I was feeling better about that so I've been posting a lot for that reason :)

but yeah buddy, it's really neat indeed hehe

[penny-the-pissed-poltergeist]

It's time for the big one, volume 3. Starting with episode 1. warning: mild critical AKA rwde opinions

.This sunset/sunrise (I can't tell) is a very good way to open the volume, it feels like a reversed red trailer almost

.Ruby is so earnest and sweet, I could never hate her (No matter how dumb she is later)

.Is this the first time they actually mention Summer in the show itself? Because I don't remember her being brought up at all before this.

.Is Tai a 2D image here? I can't tell

.RIP Monty, sucks that people only bring up his name for stupid fandumb discourse

.Why are Port and Oobleck 1. the announcers and 2. interrupting a fight that has one of there own team involved? shouldn't they have their intro before the fighting starts?

."Age and school year are irrelevant" Are you sure that's a good idea, just giving people with multiple years of extra experience and putting them in the same pool of fighter as first year jobbers like team CRDL?

.The cutting to 2D so jarring whenever they do it, I get they don't have the time to model of all those places but still

.I spotted one person that looks like they could be part of the Marigold family and 2 people with Emerald's hair style in those 2D segments

.Reese's hoverboard guns are really cool even if She loses by literally falling on her ass

.What is this Pokemon anime ass cutting to speedlines doing in my RWBY fight

.What's-his-face malding because he's the one that decided to stand next to ice dust is just pathetic

.Ruby calling Weiss her BFF and getting shut down reminds me of how much I miss their old interactions. When was the last time we had lines like that... volume 6 I think?

.Why did everyone aside from that one guy, Ruby and Weiss just stop moving or attacking, why did no one take out what's-his-face when he was stunned? I know stuff like this happens a lot later but this is the first time I notice this cropping up.

.Considering how strong elemental Dust is when used in weapons, why does it seem like no one aside from Weiss and Blake unless it's one Dust type they decided to base there weapon around? Reese only got any because it was in the area.

."Oh she really should've worn a helmet" My brother the Christ no one in this wears wears armor unless their a loser like Jaune or Cardin

.The sick Ice construct Weiss makes has he missing her old moveset again, why did we need summons when she already had this?

.Arslan and Reese are both really cool and I wish we saw them in the arc Mistral at some point (I know their in the books but I don't care)

.This will not be the last fight that ends with a character taking out three or more people in one hit

.Ruby's screen transition is cute but Blake why are posing like that?

.I do find it funny that Weiss has what sounds like an IRL default ring tone

.That girl pockets line feels like the writers trying to hide the fact they are men writing women, also everyone's outfit feel so deliberate that I'd assume they were custom made and wouldn't have that problem

.Ruby might have the tiniest crush on Emerald and I'm here for it, show me that crush turning into the crushing feeling of betrayal, I know you won't but still.

.Neo's faker fit goes so hard for no reason, Cinder's doesn't at all

.Is sniffing boots a really way to check how good they are or is that baloney?

."Oh no, they can't eat with Mercury because he's weird, couldn't be caught with somebody like him." I don't like this! Mostly because of the whole having autism thing.

.Team RWBY voted to agree on Freezerburn supremacy

."How can they be so happy all the time" Why can't you Emerald?

.I forgot Emerald just straight up called Yang a bimbo holy shit

.That's a LOT of ramen, look at big the bowls are. that might legit be Ruby's body weight in noodles

.Does Blake know the shopkeep personally because that's not a nod you give too a stranger, also "HAHA kit liik fisheys" ugh

.Ruby so happy to see Pyrrha, that's how you know their friends because they don't get to talk to each other like ever. Weird considering what happens later

.As a Binding of Isaac player, I can attest to how effective barfing can be at hurting things

.I know it's supposed to be funny, but I can't not feel bad for Nora during her little anxiety spiral. Oh god things are going to be much worse for you :(

.Pyrrha you can't look forward to not fighting murderers, you haven't fought a single human villain yet.

."Imagine what it will be like when we graduate" You know that one thing about knowing a bomb is under the table when the characters don't... yeah that

.Why is Mercury the only person in the whole crowd with popcorn? No one else has any

."Even if you know how a story ends, that doesn't make it any less fun to watch" I agree Cinder, why else would I be doing this?

.Ha, they're building up team JNPR V team BRNZ like it matters at all

.Kinda wish the intro didn't just straight up tell you that the heroes are losing this volume but whatever

.Once again the intro promises a Weiss vs Emerald fight that we are never getting probably. (Also proper Ruby vs Cinder but that MIGHT still happen?)

.The last shot of the intro looks the game over screen for a game called RWBY 64

Dear RWBY Shipping Fandom

Alright. Before we get started this is an OPINION. Please refrain from saying this is biased for my love of Whiterose (okay maybe it is a little bit). Also, if you do have any complaints, please refrain from cursing in them. Moving on, I would like to explain how I feel about Ice Queendom as a whole, and Whiterose itself.

Clearly, this was a throw to the whole “Snow White” aspect of things. It was obvious the moment we heard of the nightmare Grimm possessing Weiss. I would just like to point out: Jaune was a plot device.

But who went in, risked their lives, not one, not two, but three times to save Weiss? When not even the rest of her team did?

Ruby did.

Jaune went in the third time and the only thing of value he did was try and keep Ruby alive (while she was trying to rescue Weiss, mind you) and get stuck in a snow bank.

Next is canon. Clearly, Whiterose holds a bit less ground here, but it still has foundation. Even in Vol. 1! Now I’m not saying I agree with the people who shipped them since trailer’s release, but even I have to notice they’re some chemistry.

let’s start with the Jaune vs Ruby situation in the emerald forest sections. Weiss could clearly see Jaune was stuck to the tree with Pyrrha’s spear and waited to be her partner, but she chose Ruby.

At the dance, Weiss mimicked the fandom after Vol. 9 trying to fix a drooping white rose.

And Vol. 6 and 7? I can’t fit it all. Even Arrowfell had its small moments.

Bumblebee, of course, is something I don’t particularly care about. Before you scream at me that I’m homophobic (which I’m clearly not, plus my BFFE is a lesbian and I’m proud of her) I’m just saying I wouldn’t see them without it being canon is all. If it was or wasn’t, I don’t care.

And to all those WK and RG shippers who still think WK is close to being canon and that the VA’s don’t ship it [WR] so it won’t be, I would like to quote my least favorite musical artist Olivia Rodrigo:

GOOD FOR YOUUUUU

2. Rank the soundtracks!

Ugh, the volumes aren’t on Spotify at this time so I can’t check the playlists easily. Sorry for the delayed answer!                     

Volume 4 is probably at the top, followed by Volume 5. 6 is very close behind. 2 and 3 have the same issue in that they are a mix of absolute bangers and one or two songs I don’t care for. 7, 8, and 9 are very solid but I haven’t listened to the whole thing recently. I do like a lot of songs from them, but I haven’t added any songs aside from ‘The Sky is Falling’ to my personal RWBY playlist.

Volume 1 soundtrack is great because of all the character songs, but I could never vibe with Gold or Wings. Also no other soundtrack remixes songs that also debuted on it. Which, I understand from a ‘back then’ POV since they didn’t know how big this show was going to get, also I understand the Black and Yellow trailers needed full songs of their new music since most of their trailers were dialogue. The original character songs still go hard. I’m placing this soundtrack in an honorary ‘You’re the reason this show got big’ category, even though I don’t listen to half of it nowadays.

14. Favorite background character design?

Trifa (the spider Faunus that attempted to restrain Blake in v5) has a simple but very cool design, and I love to see the creative integration of animal traits in this show.

For an unnamed character, there’s this mom and kid in Mantle with lynx ears and I LOVE their design despite how simple it is. Justice for Lynx Mom.

19. Favorite Weiss ship?

I don’t think I have any OTPs for Weiss, now that I think about it. I like her as part of Frosen Steel or Bee’s Schnees, but more as a “Ruby (or Yang) has 2 hands” situation, and I doubt it would ever be canon. And her celebrity crush on Pyrrha by that same token, which is probably my favorite wlw Weiss ship (Whiterose is very cute too, but I could never get into it). Funny enough, I think Volume 9 has warmed me up to Whiteknight, which was thoroughly dismissed at the start of the show. It’s kinda neat to look at it as a ‘right person wrong time’ situation, and now that they’ve changed so much, they could be a good partner to each other. It’s possible she won’t be romantically involved with anyone by the end of the show, and that’s good too.

If I’m being honest, I feel like the finale might have been a *little* bit rushed. But we got Summer AND Raven, we got Ruby styling on the cat (with a visual reference to the red trailer no less!) and team rwby did a persona all-out attack. Hopefully we’ll see Neo again someday.

All in all this has been one hell of a volume. I don’t know if this is “peak rwby” but it’s for sure the most I’ve been invested since volume 6.

A compilation of 1 second RWBY clips I edited together, but the audio is from SMii7Y's 1 Second Video. I had other ideas for a RWBY 10 Year Anniversary Video, but I wasn't able to progress enough on them due to still working on my Final Thoughts Video for Volume 6. Please enjoy!
