Serana: Can I come over and act weird and be unsettling?

Jaune: How weird?

*Serana standing in a dark corner eyes glowing and body twitching ominously*

*Jaune happily reading a book and blushing cause he love her*

Honestly, this makes me want to make a gag in the story about Serana being unintentionally scary like her just popping out of nowhere and scaring other people.

Or just like her watching over the group in the night and scaring someone by accident because she's just watching over them.

I think the two being scared the most would be Qrow, Nora, Inigo, Lucian, and Weiss

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Qrow: Where's Serana?

Serana: *appears next to him out of thin air* Right here

Qrow: Oh Shit! Damn it! We gotta get you a fucking bell or something!

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Nora: Damn it! Where the hell is serana where you need her?

Serana: *Right behind her* You called?

Nora: *Jumps in fear and quickly turns around to glare at her* Oum! Will you stop that!?

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Lucien: Inigo, I think we should leave

Inigo: I agree with you, my friend

Serana: *Appears right behind them as they turn around* What are you two doing here?

*Lucian and Inigo scream as Lucian jumps into Inigo's arms who hold Lucian like he's scooby doo*

@watcher-servant Hey sorry for your ask, it bugged out and it just sent without me being able to answer the question lol

So you asked if his clothes looked like this

The answer is a bit more on the blue and golden side, but the design is really great for the idea i have of him in this particular AU.

Blake’s final speech in vol 5 amounted to “I don’t know what to do just stop bad Faunus like Adam”

As for Kaitlyn I more so meant the nickname she was given, that was not just an issue of management. But fair point several of the original group are POC. But non the less it seems more likely crwby just wanted to do X-men and failed.

Blake’s speech was about the fact that there are no easy answers to stopping hate. Faunus were getting more rights through Sienna’s tactics, but actual acceptance was harder to achieve because it’s something you cannot force. Saving Haven and stopping Adam helped shift the narrative around Faunus. It didn’t fix everything, nor did Blake claim it would, but it started moving the needle away from where Adam was pushing it.

The White Fang arc isn’t a guidebook on how to successfully develop a more accepting society, it’s a warning about how anger that has a legitimate reason to exist can be validated, channeled and manipulated by selfish people who will ultimately abandon and work against the goals of the affected group when the crisis of said group no longer supports their self-serving interests.

RWBY is willing to accept that maybe there aren’t clear, easy solutions to societal issues but that developing connections and empathy and community with those around us still move us towards a better world—even if hate still exists.

Ruby, loading slugs into crescent rose: okay the power of friendship isn't working, I need to kill this bitch

Weiss: *loading dust cartridges into Myrt* Okay, who hurt my darling?

[invested-in-your-future]

they didn't have twenty volumes to waste time on showing faunus get kicked around

Oh, sweetie...

It's never "waste of time" to develop and build up one of your crucial story pillars. WF subplot is crucial part of characterization of one of THE four leads the show is named after.

The narrative doesn't even need to be all edgy to convey the scope of discrimination and how something like WF could have happened. Discrimination can be conveyed without being crass about it.

XMEN 97 literally just underlined the horror of racism AND made the audience experience firsthand how easy(and sometimes justified) it would be to take a more radical approach against racism IN A SINGLE EPISODE. Hell, half an episode. And they still had time for relationship drama of four different pairings and worldbuilding. You know, the OTHER things RWBY struggles with or offscreens.

Maybe RWBY could have spent more time on that rather than wasting time with god brothers and relics and talking animal dimensions and whether Jaune gets to feel sad about more dead women, hm?

Nine volumes.

NINE.

CRWBY literally can't even make a silly 3 minute long video without toxic people trying to hate on the series. That piece of garbage named double a is shitting on the new episode of RWBY Vtubing. And the episode is only 3 minutes long.

Your frustration is valid, believe me. That man literally made a video rating RWBY Women by their chest sizes. While on Twitter he made misogynistic remarks on Winter Schnee.

Its horrible, but let me explain the sad thing. Just as there are good people, There are bad people like Critter, Vexed, hero hei, adel aka, and RWDE.

You can't stop RWDE from being rude and just plain deplorable. But what you CAN do? Is try to educate people about RWBY, Anon.

Show them that RWBY is not as bad as critics brainwash them into thinking. Show them that RWBY is a show worth watching. Combat that negativity with positivity.

There will be people who say no, who embrace willful ignorance. And the sad thing is you can't stop them.

But? There will always be people willing to listen. And they will listen to you.

Be better than the haters, and become the change you wish to see online. And others will do it alongside you. You're not alone, Anon. I believe in you...Good luck!

"I find people only say this because they think Blake can only ever do the WF plotline and that's it"

BUUUUUUZZZZZ!!!! WRONG!

We say it because Blake has undergone no significant character development since the end of Volume 6. She plays an almost passive role in the Atlas saga, the various ways her story could have gone in the post-WF world were completely squandered, and she had next to no meaninful interactions with the other characters outside of Yang, to whom she was basically reduced to a satellite love interest. And no, being forced into a magical escape room where the win conditions are making out with someone is not character development. It's a contrived farce.

Lol exactly what was squandered with Blake's story post-WF. She's doing exactly what she should by focusing on stopping Salem because I don't know if you've been paying attention but if Salem gets all the relics there won't be any faunus for Blake to be a bridge for. Plus Blake wasn't in Atlas long before Salem arrived causing havoc and Ironwood wanting her arrested. Blake having an almost passive role isn't the end of the world when pretty much all of team rwby took a backseat during the Atlas arc so I don't know why you think it's only a problem with Blake's character when it was all of them. Even Weiss who should of had a bigger role considering it was her hometown.

And I think it's funny how you mentioned Blake and Yang's confession scene when I never mentioned it in my original reply and Blake quite literally had significant moments with Nora and Ruby in volume 8 and guided her team in volume 9 acting as a light for them, but hey whatever pushes your narrative

[demtoons]

when they get together I need yang to act so lovey dovey with blake cause I'm kinda getting some sense from the fandom that people are starting to think blake loves yang more which is just 🤨

I'll be in the trenches defending this fandom all day. But I admit we do have recency bias sometimes. Another person said this and I agree; before this volume, it was Yang who was shown to be pining after Blake more. Not that Blake didn't do it too, but she honestly had more shit to deal with back then. Yang just showed more interest, I guess?

Ex:"If you're thinking of coming out tomorrow, I'll save you a dance"

The lyrics from Armed and Ready and All that Matters.

"What if I needed her here for me?"

"It looks good...great even!"

"Yeah...Ruby"

Yang running to help Blake fight Adam twice, losing her arm and bike

So I think they're evening it out a bit. Blake is now the one being really obvious about liking Yang. She even has her own song about it now too. And Yang reciprocates because they're both into each other equally. It would be nice to see Yang initiate something this volume, but I digress. Blake doesn't like Yang more than Yang likes Blake. That's juvenile thinking, imo.

[astraskylark]

Do you think the kingdom of atlas will ever be rebuilt? Or at least the continent of solitas will ever be resettled? I wonder if it could happen in weiss’ lifetime. If a “new atlas” of some kind is ever actually built I should hope that it resembles the “old atlas” as little as possible, and thus from the ashes of the old and failed atlas, a more fair and just kingdom not built on exploiting the poor can be created,

They'll probably build a new Mantle or something. So yeah a new kingdom will be built, but I think that the laws and military influence will not exist anymore

[lilithfairen]

Worst RWBY character aside from Adam or Ironwood?

Watts is pretty much a Grade-A scumbag. (At least Ironwood didn't want to do wrong, as wrong as his intentions were.)

[narukana-chan]

What’s your thoughts on Bleiss? Or other x-bent characters? Your favorite?

Ngl I had to look up what this was. Aesthetically she's interesting, but if I'm taking it seriously it doesn't make much sense to me. Like Bleiss isnt a word, Weiss means white and her name is White Snow! It kinda takes away from her snow white allusion. Buuut it's pointless to criticize something harmless and all in good fun so my main take that she's interesting aesthetically still takes over. I am curious about other x-bent characters, especially ones in the same universe as bleiss.

[rocknroll7575]

What are your thoughts on a toxic whiteknight

Ooohh! Don't even get me started!

It's basically the abused becomes the abuser because Weiss would definitely be the one to abuse Jaune, though, it would be more mental abuse than physical.

Weiss definitely had a superiority complex at the beginning of Beacon and with Jaune seemingly so easy to get her on a date and please her, she'd use that for whatever reason and promise him a nice date or something before she begins degrading him when he messes up.

Of course, Weiss would then abuse him more when Neptune comes around as she find him more handsome and more worthy of her affection, even kissing and doing other things with Neptune in front of Jaune that would make him feel terrible.

Only when Neptune was revealed to be a Player would Weiss realize how much she screwed up before she tried to go back to Jaune and apologize, Jaune finally snaps, believing he's being manipulated by her again so would push her away and yell at her, legitimately trying not to get physical, before he leaves.

The only way I could see Jaune being the abuser of the relationship is if he suddenly became very possessive of her and Yandereish or if he knew how to manipulate other people in the beginning.

Is RWBY a video game or a series? If it’s a show where do you watch it?

It's a web series! There are 8 finished volumes at the moment and volume 9 is currently being released

You can watch all of the volumes here or on youtube and if you've watched them, decided you like it and want to know what happens next, consider signing up to Crunchyroll and supporting the crew there!

I definitely recommend watching the 4 trailers first before diving into volume 1. In order, the trailers you should watch are the Red Trailer, the White Trailer, the Black Trailer and finally the Yellow Trailer

(hence the series' name RWBY lol)

Assuming that you've clicked on the link and seen the list of episodes - You can skip past World Of Remnant for now if you want (at least until after volume 3), but those shorts offer world building to the universe of the series, so you should totally watch them at some point

Also, word of warning, this series goes through quite a bit of evolution in it's animation, so the early volumes will look very different to what you may have seen me reblog recently

But I prefer to think of that as part of the charm <3

[paponela]

despite everything, it's still you

*yang.exe has stopped working*

Weiss: *takes a deep breath and puts her hand on hangs shoulder* welp...I'm going to go @#$& your sister now

Yang: *screaming*

[invested-in-your-future]

Would it be accurate to compare Ruby to Blake in regards to how they are afraid to look back and are always rushing ahead? Although I feel like their reasons for it are fundamentally different.

I think it's something all four members of Team RWBY have in common:

Ruby runs from the present that contradicts her idealism.

Weiss runs from the terror of her home and from facing her own privilege.

Blake runs from her past and contradictions within her ideals.

Yang runs from her aimless future and from realization that she has no grand goal to follow.

Idealists that refuse to face themselves is almost like part of the theme of Team RWBY as a whole.

I'd say that applies to the show too (even though show gave up on trying to explore ANY of that countless Volumes ago)
