#rwby asks

[howi99]

@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?

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.

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.

[mettywiththenotes]

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

Team SKHA (sky?) - the weapons are mostly just overall ideas here, not really detailed.

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*

[iamafanofcartoons]

I may not be interested in RWBY (but I love BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle), but I don't want movements like "Fixing RWBY" to exist. I don't care about perfection in RWBY or anything else, I just want everyone to STFU.

You know...its funny.

I don't think my main problem with movements like Fixing RWBY is that they exist.

My main problem is that the only way for them to validate their existence is by insulting the show they're drawing from, and by demanding other people not watch RWBY.

Are you familiar with Team Four Star? Abridged Dragon Ball Z and Hellsing Ultimate. Arguably more entertaining, BUT! They repeatedly encouraged people to watch the Original Shows, and to pay respect to the writers.

And that is my issue with people like Couer Al'Alaran and Fixing RWBY and Remnant.

They make money off the show, they promote their material based on the show....but they refuse to respect the show and its writers, and they try to dissuade others from watching RWBY in favor of their own ideologies.

Had Sytokun and Celtic Phoenix been more respectful to CRWBY and to RWBY...I honestly would both see and treat them in an entirely different light.

Isn't that strange? That I would do a 180 based on these people showing that respect?

But given the sheer hatred and the volume of that hatred against RWBY and its writers...maybe that respect is hard to come by these days.

I find that sad.

[daltonstreak]

I miss Weiss and Ruby interacting like they did in volumes 1-3 and 6. They barely talk now ):

That's always something that bothered me with the writing. Ruby and Weiss are supposed to be partners, but they don't feel as much now. I can't remember the last time those two had a nice moment talking to each other that wasn't more than 30 seconds or brief.

Hopefully if volume 10 does happen they'll have more moments with each other, but I'm also not holding my breath if it doesn't happen

[demtoons]

I need yang to be chivalrous or romantic at least once I'm begging crwby,

Okay yes. Cause Yang's reciprocating everything but she's not really initiating anything.

I want to see her hold Blake's hand or hell, move some tree branches out of Blake's path just because she can.

Maybe they'll surprise us by having Yang initiate the kiss.
