#rwby pvp

[hexcorazon]

you want rarepairs/crackships? i'll name you some of mine, so enjoy my long ramble:

-ironhill (Ironwood x Robyn) - HEAR ME OUT! i know Ironwood is disliked in rwby fandom while Robyn is, i'll safely say, unpopular in rwde community, BUT there's a certain charm of shipping disliked character with a liked character, especially when the views of the characters differ in different fandoms. Romeo & Juliet who?/j

But joking aside, i started shipping them when Robyn was like "i thought you were a jerk & didn't care about others, but i was wrong.". Call me basic but i like when two characters find a middle ground/realize they're not what they thought the other one was.

In all honestly their relationship was such a wasted potential and yes i am also saying it because i ship them, but with the theme of trust going around it would have been cool to have Ironwood & Robyn team up and become allies - with Ironwood representing Atlas & Robyn representing Mantle. Not to mention, BOTH care about their Atlas & Mantle and want the best for it's people. Just two leaders who didnt see eye to eye, only to realize both have the same goals in mind and are not each others enemy (it's Jacques)

Right now i can't name other reasons why you should like my ironhill propaganda, but consider this - they both hate jacques so that should be a sign they're soulmates/j & they both having shooting type weapons.

But even if you don't ship it, you have to admit their relationship was a wasted potential :/

-invisible poison(?) (Tyrian x Fiona) - HEAR ME OUT...it is mostly centered around them being Faunus, BUT the thing is Fiona is a sheep Faunus and Tyrian is a scorpion Faunus. Sheeps in general are seen in a positive light, while scorpions are seen in a negative light.

It's hard to put in words, but it would be interesting to explore how these two, while being Faunus had different experiences with how others treated them due to what type of Faunus they are. (Not to say Fiona never got discriminated against for being a Faunus in general).

Both are also very loyal to their leaders (Salem & Robyn), so yeah parallels...sort of. And my mind then came up with a scene where they fight and Fiona questions Tyrian on how he could be loyal to someone like Salem and he answer with that Salem is the only one who accepts him fully, never treating him badly due to him being a Faunus, UNLIKE certain other leader who called a dog Faunus "Waggs" & just makes Fiona question her role in HH and if she would have been treated differently by them if she had been a "dangerous" type of Faunus (but let's be honest he would mostly say this to mess with her)

There's the whole aesthetic/tropes with them too - short x tall, good x evil, kind x terrible etc. And I once decided to search them on google in case I find something, and while it wasn't a fanart, I did found a drawing of them together, so that's something.

-firewall/electric fire (?) (Watts x Cinder) - they hate each other and that whole balcony scene of Watts calling out Cinder's bullshit. Also unlike Ironwatts & Ironwood x Jacques, instead of them having divorced & sick of each other exes vibe, they rather have two people who refuse to get a divorce because they're petty af and want to see the other sufer. Next question

-target practice/pvp (?) (Penny x Pyrrha) - i might not ship it as i used to, but i think it started when i thought about how Pyrrha died thinking Penny is dead (which she was and will be), while Penny got brought back, not knowing Pyrrha is dead (does she know it is unknown but for the sake of angst im chosing this option) and then my mind thought of PvP Childhood AU, where Penny got the chance to travel around the world years ago and befriended Pyrrha with them keeping in touch over the years and getting to see each again other at the Vytal festival.

And yes that does make their fight a lot more devastating because now Pyrrha dies feeling the guilt of killing her best friend and Penny comes back only to learn her best friend is gone and died not knowing she's alive (if we assume bringing Penny took a lot of time).

Aside from the angst, I think they could have had a cute dynamic :)

-envy zinnia (Emerald x Ren) - it's the "because she's scared just like us" for me (dont remember if he said that because he used his semblance). It's the way Emerald reacted to his words and denied them. It's the way Ren looked at Emerald while others were arguing about her joining the team (i think it was Yang who mostly against it).

It's the idea of Emerald assuming Ren can read her well because of his semblance and trusts her based on that, only to learn he had never used his semblance and trusts her, because he wants to and sees good in her for me.

It's the idea of Ren feeling complicated about his feelings about Nora, because he feels like he should fall in love with her given she's his best friend and had always been by his side, only to fall in love with his former enemy. (nooo, i did not drop the summary of my wip here, nooo)

There isn't much with this ship, for me this mostly being "hey this is a neat one" only to then imagine Emerald getting flustered over Ren holding her hand or looking at her with a soft gaze in his eyes.

OKAY YOU SENT ME A LOT (WHICH I LOVE THANK YOU SO SO MUCH) so im gonna put my responses under a readmore bc i do actually wanna put thought into each of these

okayyyyy lets start with IRONHILL: well i think ironwood is a whole gay man but thats just MY hc so like. of the female characters u can ship him with its not the WORST option? like i 100% totally get what u mean that sometimes theres so much wasted potential or a better story hidden behind a dynamic that you either dont get to see on screen or doesnt get nearly enough to work with that u kinda end up shipping them just bc u want more of them. im not sure i see any romantic or sexual chemistry between them personally so i feel like i would "ship" them as like Business Partners. like

robyn: would you like... to form an alliance with me

james: ... yes, yes i would

robyn: EXCELLENT >:333

NOW TYRION/FIONA. This Interests Me. like i love corruption type romances, where the innocent or happy or naive one gets a dark or bad boy or straight up evil lover. some real hades/persephone type shit. ive said before that i love angel/demon imagery and u cant get more heavenly than a lamb. also i do agree that i think their parallels of their roles are very interesting and i also dont like robyn so anything that gets fiona away from her is good with me! i feel like i would really love like almost a roleswap of them? like a fiona slated to be a maiden candidate for salem, on the bad guys side, and a tyrion that was still fucked up but he is like on ironwoods payroll as a ace-op special assassin or something, like i feel like that would be really fun LOL or like a tryion that was just SLIGHTLY less insane and not on salems side but like is still a bad guy and he gets wounded and fiona finds him dying in the woods or something and brings him back to her little cottage and fixes him up and they bond as he recovers like THATS TASTY

cinder/watts im not a fan of. i do get what u mean about them having toxic divorced exes energy but i feel like watts/ironwood does that in a way sexier and fun way and i dont want to subject cinder to that sort of vibe tbh (i have another cinder-centric rarepair thats genuinely my cinder otp so theres also that)

TARGET PRACTICE IS A FUCKED UP NAME FOR PYRRHA/PENNY SKCBSODBSPEHEJ but pvp is deffo something i get... in a completely au context. like nothing about their canon vibes click for me? but with ur whole childhood friends thing i get it; i think like if somebody told me to outline a pvp fic, i would like. okay pyrrha is brought to beacon on a special recommendation and before she even starts the school, shes brought in and told about the maidens and magic and penny and the proposal to make her the next autumn and penny the next winter and ironwood and ozpin ask if shes willing and if she is, will she work with penny? and the two of them are assigned as partners (meaning jaune gets a new partner which according to canon would be WEISS so hello thats fun) and they bond and struggle with making friends and being 'normal' with these pressures and its quite bittersweet and emo and cute i like it

NOW YOU HAVE TOTALLY SOLD ME ON EMERALD/REN. i love putting ren with literally any other character and i feel like emerald has such a simple but good character that she can fit with a lot of people and tbh u really have sold me on them. i really like the imagery of like ren and emerald both having this barrier for whatever reason that prevents them from being open and honest with their feelings but using their semblances as different private u iqie communication that just WORKS for them they are both autistic and hot and i think they should kiss also their shades of green being complimentary and ren and her just having this really fun dynamic of them both being really snarky and sassy but quiet and observant and they just VIBE im highkey lowkey obsessed with the idea... ren and nora are side characters in my fic but they are on a team with merc and emerald (trust the process) and the plan is currently actually emerald/neon but... somethings may have to be rearranged bc im actually really REALLY into the idea of ren and emerald... SHIT YOU ACTUALLY DID IT YOU ACTUALLY SOLD ME ON REMERALD.....

Pyrrha asks Penny out to the Beacon dance, at first to make Jaune jealous, but it doesn't take her long to be charmed by the android

Pyrrha - Ummmm….excuse me ?

[Penny abruptly turns around , leaving a hole in the wall from the swing of her arm]

Penny - New friend !

Pyrrha - [chuckles] Well I’m afraid I’m about to ask something that’s not too considerate

Penny - I am always ready to help new friends [salutes]

[Pyrrha pauses for a second and then regains her composure ]

Pyrrha - I was wondering if you’d like to accompany me to the Beacon dance. I’ve been hoping a certain boy would ask me , and … Penny - You wish to make him “jealous” Pyrrha - It sounds a little odd when you say it Penny - Not at all. I have read many stories involving this. It is quite normal Pyrrha - Well I suppose it’s a deal then…. Penny - What’s your name ? Pyrrha - [pauses] Excuse me ? Penny - You have not told me your name Pyrrha - [blushes] Y…you don’t know ? Penny - This is the first time we have spoken with each other =) [Pyrrha internally screams as all her requirements are met at once]

Writing Requests are OPEN

[whitelikeroses]

I think we should rename the ship between Penny and Pyrrha "Farthing".

Because a Farthing is a quarter of a Penny.

Tonight I came across a post (that won't hit my blog until July because I queued it) about how it's unfortunate that "fun" has supposedly become a requirement of video games, given that this severely limits how they can function as works of art. We don't limit other mediums by insisting that they only produce positive emotions and experiences in the recipient, so why would video games be any different just because they're (more) interactive?

This post isn't actually about video games, but rather how that argument got me thinking about RWBY and the recent resurgence of this "Why are you still here if you hate the show?" question. Now, setting aside the acknowledgment that 99.9% of people asking that are merely trolling behind their faux-concern—they have no actual interest in hearing a RWDE poster's reasons for sticking around, they simply want a way to say, "Get out" with plausible deniability—but if we treat this question seriously, I think that post on video games may offer some insight. I have numerous reasons for keeping active in the RWBY/RWDE fandom (initial love of the show, intellectual exercises, the community we've made, etc.) but there is also some level of investment in what would traditionally be framed as non-positive emotions. RWBY can make me feel very frustrated... similar to how playing Pathalogic makes me frustrated. Many of its plot-lines make me angry... the same way numerous video games' discriminatory writing can make me angry. RWBY's community, at times, feels like an insult-laden battlefield... but I've been doing PvP in WoW since it came out, so that's familiar too.

There are so many times when I've enjoyed engaging with a piece of media even when I really didn't enjoy it. Perhaps a better way of putting it would be that I found something worthwhile in the experience, even if I couldn't label that as "fun" or "happiness" or "satisfaction." Sometimes sitting with negative emotions is a good thing. Yes, you can take that too far just like you can take any behavior to an extreme, which is where the continual demands to "watch another show" highlight those posters' willful ignorance. We're already watching other shows. Reading other books. Playing other games. Engaging with a huge, diverse variety of art. Those who gain their own enjoyment from targeting strangers online (and isn't that a significant aspect to all this) want to make it sound like RWDE posters haven't touched a single piece of art other than RWBY in ten years and if they just found something they enjoyed without reservations then they'd drop RWBY like a hot potato. But I'm already watching numerous shows that I love unconditionally and have nothing substantial to critique; shows that have me internally kicking my feet and twirling my hair because they're just sooooooo good. I have that! RWBY is a different experience. It scratches a very specific itch of "I once adored this thing and now it's disappointing, but I want to see it through to its end and unpacking the ways in which it fails is a fascinating, cathartic mental exercise." I can't get that from anything else—not right now, anyway—so why would I want to give up this unique experience to fill my time solely with art that only makes me feel Generically Good? Art I have little to say about because it already feels #perfect to my mind? Sure, I could analyze a show's positives and sing its praises (which I often do), but at a certain point you run of out ways to say, "I like it." There's a reason why transformative fandom is built around the gaps in media: missing scenes, plot holes, retcons, failures, missed opportunities, horrible disappointments. Transformation comes more easily when you're already inclined to change the canon in the first place.

Idk, I feel like there's also an element of purity culture here where there's this push to make people think they must only engage with art that aligns precisely with their moral stance, produces only positive emotions, and invites nothing but praise. If the art makes you feel bad in any way than it is bad and you have a duty to remove yourself from it post-haste just ignore that we wanted you gone the whole time. Frankly, I think we humans can handle a bit more complexity than that? Obviously, as said, you wouldn't want to make Art You're Upset With the be-all and end-all of your media engagement, and this certainly isn't a call for anyone to engage with triggers unless they're inclined to do so, but a story you're primarily here to critique, or—yes—even a bit of hate watching can be "fun" in a non-traditionally fun away. Just because the art hasn't made you grin and pump your fist in triumphant doesn't mean it's not worth interacting with as art.

I'm pretty sure everyone has a part of canon they ignore in every fandom. My Eg: FUCK YOU PVP DID NOT HAPPEN! (RWBY)

Haz!!!!! I just started making a Spotify playlist for the eggs and I need ur help with some musics for Pomme! I want to give her a rwby song but I don't know which :(

Checkmate- (no that's just my fav, but it can kinda work since she's really good at pvp actually, and she's smart with the strategy aspect of the song (chess and everything) but it miss all the show-off things, i just really love the songs) (actually I think this song just works well for the french family as a whole lmao)

Well first you can add Ceux qui rêvent from Pomme (I mean our Pomme say she really like the song)

And second... let me check my rwby playlist

Maybe Quiet? Since it goes with just wanting a peacefull life and everything.

Let's just live can work too, since she feels like she has a lot on her shoulders but at the same time her parents are always telling her that it is normal to be scared but you don't have to live in fear anyway

Watching someone watching G-Witch for the first time and nearing the end of the 1st cour feels exactly like watching someone watch RWBY V3 for the first time and they hit “PvP”

If Netflix made a Live Action Remake of RWBY

The Red, White, Black, and Yellow Trailers would probably be merged into the first episode, with Ruby's fight with Torchwick serving as the climax.

The Shining Beacon, The First Step, The Emerald Forest, and Players and Pieces would all be merged into a single episode.

The Badge and the Burden, Black and White, and the Stray would be a single episode, but with the plotline about the conflict between Weiss and Blake cut out because Netflix doesn't want "a racist main character", completely missing the point of Weiss' arc.

Best Day Ever, Welcome to Beacon, A Minor Hiccup, and Painting the Town would be merged.

Jaunediced, Extracurricular, Burning the Candle, and the dance part of Dance Dance Infiltration would be merged.

Field Trip and Forever Fall would be merged.

Search and Destroy, Mountain Glenn, and the Breach would all be one episode.

The first 5 episodes of Volume 3 would be merged with the "Infiltration" part of Dance Dance Infiltration.

The flashbacks from Midnight would be inserted into the beginning of Fall. We'd also see Adam's brand for the first time here.

Beginning of the End through the first half of PVP would be one episode.

The second half of PVP through the End of the Beginning would be one episode.

Volumes 1-3 would be a single season.

Weiss' negative traits would be downplayed to keep her from being too "problematic".

Jaune's incel behaviors would be adapted out entirely, and he'd start with his mid Volume 3 personality and competence in order to make him "more likeable".

Adam's abuse of Blake would change from psychological and emotional manipulation to physical abuse to make it more blatant.

We see Adam's SDC brand very early on in the series due to Netflix completely missing the point in some aspects.

Ironwood would have a throwaway line about planning to annex Vale "for it's own good" that gets broadcasted by Cinder during this verse's equivalent of "PvP".

Some leitmotifs that weren't introduced until later in the show, such as Lionize, would be introduced earlier. This also means that Blake gets to have "From Shadows" to herself instead of her and Adam just having the same leitmotif playing in different keys. This would be the ONLY change that fans would agree was an improvement over the original, with everything else just making everyone upset.

The opening sequence would debut at the end of Episode 1, and would either be a remix of "This Will be the Day" or an original piece.

Cinder would not shoot Pyrrha in the heart. Instead, she'd use her Semblance to immolate her alive and drop her charred corpse on the ground, then give Ruby a breaking speech and try to kill her, unwittingly triggering Ruby's Silver Eyes.

Sun would have his monkey tail, but it'd be easy to forget he has because of how rarely he'd use it.

Salem would have normal eyes instead of the red pinpricks for budget reasons.

I can absolutely think of more I might bring up later.

RWBY Volume 3 Episode 9 PvP

Eheh, I see what they did there.

No screenshot because at the moment I am simply Pondering.

So we've got Summer Rose and Winter Schnee, and all this hubbub about the Autumn Maiden but so far no mention of anyone to do with Spring just yet.

But it does make me think: we should move the beginning of the year back to April, in my opinion the Pagans got that one right. January is a stupid month to start the year because if I say Winter of 2007 do you think December 2007 or January 2007?

Hey maybe there's a character named April that we're gonna see soon

Anyway on to the episode proper

[dragynkeep]

Penny/Pyrrha for the meme?

the drama of falling in love with the person who was tricked into killing you & is traumatized by the sight of you ✨
