#what tropes do yall like? maybe even wanna see in rwby?

[constantvariations]

I kinda wish rwby had more tropes found within anime and western cartoon series. As silly as it is, I adore the low budget beach episodes in anime with their cute swim suits and low-stakes shenanigans, and my absolute favorite cartoon trope is character studies via someone being split into color-coded emotions (especially if that character tends to be stoic or highly guarded)

fat. FAT. P H A T RANT INCOMING FOR ANYONE WHO CARES TO READ THIS NONSENSE CUZ @haldidoodh ASKED

That episode literally blasted the last of my serotonin into smithereens but TBH??? WHO AM I MAD AT I should have seen this coming this whole volume has been such a headache. I cant be bothered to type up a coherent rwde essay on everything that bothered me this episode so im just gonna copy and paste my earlier yelling here instead ;A;

Team Rwby was god awful in episodes 11-12. They’re so self-righteous, entitled, hypocritical and cocky as a team and it doesnt help that they all suck as individual characters nowadays (except for weiss but even she lost best-girl points this episode also lmao blake and yang aren’t even INDIVIDUALS anymore they’re just bumbleby). It was annoying at first but now its just infuriating how rwby thinks theyre always right with their uwu energy and think they can do whatever tf they want with ZERO CONSEQUENCES.

Basically any time there is a problem in this show they have Ruby uwu at it and its solved lol.

They kept giving ironwood shit for taking on this incredible burden SO THAT NOBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE TO and rather than offer any real solution they just kept going “but mantle” like okay?? But remnant??? Like obvi letting mantle rot is bad but HE WAS OPEN TO ANY HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS CUZ HES OBVI AT HIS WITTS END AND DOESNT LIKE THE IDEA EITHER but yeah they just proceed to be the fattest hypocrites by hiding secrets of their own after being all “no more secrets uwu” and WHEN THEY GOT EXPOSED THEY JUST WENT “>:[“ (yangs self-righteous little glare here pissed me off so much oof) especially when ironwood was laying everything out in the open to them from the start. AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SECRET WAS FKIN “OH YEAH SALEM CANT DIE LOL” They watched ironwood make every decision he did in hopes of beating Salem while KNOWING she couldnt die??? So literallY WHERE do they get off on screeching at him with their yOu doNt hAvE to Suffer In ManTle YOu doNt kNow whAt iTs liKe bs. Wtf made ruby distrust iw at the start anyway? Because he had a bunch of ships out? They kept this CRUCIAL piece of information from him because he seemed stressed out?? Like what made ruby keep the secret from him. Someone tell me.

And the fact that rwby beat the ace-ops makes no goddamned sense. The power-scaling in this show is non-existant. We finally got to meet some pro huntsmen in this universe who aren’t teachers but are actually on the job, but because we gotta move out of the way for that 👌🏽✨ Power Of Friendship✨ and ✨rwby is always right✨ they somehow managed to beat experienced huntsmen with YEARS in the field who’ve actually graduated school??? FARM BOI OSCAR WHOS *JUST* LEARNING HOW TO FIGHT MANAGED TO LAND A PUNCH ON NEO FKIN POLITAN??? Didnt neo dance circles around yang??? Yang, who punches for a living and also beat mercury and adam??? I cant yall (and the fact that he didnt even bother to sneak up on her this boi literally screamed “no!!” as he ran down a hallway and neo didnt even have time to blink??? Pls)

Ruby’s “you were the best, until you trained us :3” -for maybe 2 days before my team went dancing ruby sis shut right tf up pls my god is this line just so. UNEARNED. Training in a room for a short while does not simply grant you the years of field experience the ace ops have and whAT IS UP WITH HER TRYING TO REASON WITH HARIETT AFTER SAYING THAT COCKY LINE AND FIGHTING HER??? WHAT and also like. The entire idea of “the ops lost cuz they weren’t good friends and were bad at teamwork uwu” is just so dumb. Ur telling me this group of high ranking hunstmen who’ve most likely been working together for at least a few years didnt have teamwork down??? Learning to work together is the most BASIC concept for a team to learn!! Its like the first thing a team has to perfect!! If the ace ops are supposed to be the best of atlas you dont think the ops would have gotten something as fundemental as teamwork down?? I dont buy it. And who gives a shit if they dont hang out after work or take selfies with eachother. Being friends doesnt necessarily mean theyre great at working together. If they succeed at relying on eachother to watch their backs, to keep each other alive (in the words of hariett herself) then Id think theyd know how to protect eachother i.e WORK TOGETHER.

And for all the ✨friendship✨ and ✨going through so much with someone✨ talk rwby like to do, the show barely displays these people acting like friends. We’re constantly TOLD how great of friends this group is, but the actual CONTENT we are shown leaves a lot to be desired. Tell me the last time ruby and blake teamed up in a fight. Or weiss and blake. Or yang and weiss. What teamwork?? Yang only interacts with blake now and weiss is only ever allowed to interact with ruby. Has blake ever said nora or ren’s name out loud? Have jaune and yang ever held a conversation between just them? Team rwby just spent a GOOD DEAL of time seperated from eachother, but when they reunite their teamwork is still somehow better than the ace ops?? Honestly its easier to believe that ruby is closer with team jnpr than she is her own team. If they showed the ops messing up during rwby vs ace ops fight due to lack of communication, then it still doesnt matter. My point is that they shouldnt have lacked teamwork in the first place.

Robyn was m e h this episode “JaMes ConTinUes to UnDeresTimAte Me” *proceeds to get knocked over in .3 seconds and is then KO for the rest of the episode* also great job for starting a fight and aiming to take clovers life in a moving airship with a terrorist on board when clover was acting PEACEFULLY and qrow was WILLING TO TALK IT OUT WITH IW and potentially work on a solution, but naw robyn is big mad and shall shoot.

Qrow made zero sense this episode too. I was with him right up until he chose TYRIAN OVER CLOVER??? THE PSYCOPATH WHO CANNOT BE REASONED WITH OVER THE RATIONAL DUDE YOU KNOW IS GOOD except clover wasnt acting rational in this fight at all and ill get to that AND IS THE ONLY FRIEND YOU HAVE WHOS NOT 19????? Qrow rly looked at tyrian- a man who is literally an enemy to all of remnant and went after ur neice- and said lets get rid of this punk together u and me bro. Like screw teaming with clover to bring down the dude you ACTUALLY have a grudge with whos also a serial killer and then trying to talk it out with clover whod be willing to do things peacefully why is this show like this

and AS FOR CLOVER. where were the braincells this episode. Qrow was trying to fight tyrian-the WAY bigger threat here, but clover??? kept knocking him away from tyrian and restraining him with his hook like??? YEAH LETS HELP OUT THE DEMON SCORPION CRACKHEAD HES CLEARLY NOT THE PRIORITY ATM nvm clover deserved to die there m8

His death scene was emotional and I feel bad for Qrow but u literally sealed his death when u ganged on him with tyrian so why are you even surprised. And on the subject of fairgame, im glad it didnt happen. Qrow was in no state for romance and I was glad he finally had a friend. He just spent the last volume thinking he wasted his life away helping oz, drowning in misery, drinking til he passed out on the street and so drunk he couldnt even be of any help during the apathy situation, when up til now hes been shown to fight just fine while drunk. I don’t see this as a “bury your gays trope” because clover was never confirmed to be gay and all their scenes added up to 40 seconds of platonic friendship. These two are grown ass men, if they had the hots for eachother then im pretty sure they could openly show it and not dance around it like theyre kids. I do feel bad for mlm viewers who were hoping for some rep with fairgame/lucky charms (cuz rt only cares if ur a cute marketable lesbian) but idc for the overly entitled fans who try to force their own headcanons on the writers and go feral when they dont get what they want. You dont just get to prance around claiming whats canon and what isnt. If rep is there then great, but if it isnt, then why not look somehwere else and let the author tell the story theyre trying to tell? Shipping fairgame cuz you think its cute is absolutely fine but not when u start getting ready to casterate crwby for not catering to you. Also, rwby sucks with lgbt+ rep anyway so what were yall expecting.

The only thing that was great this episode was the chorerography. It just sucks that the animation/choreo continues to improve while the writing doesnt. Another thing that really fell off this episode was the whole “we’re friends but we have to fight” drama. It doesnt work when its only ONE SIDE SHOWING ANY DISTRESS OVER IT. Only the ace ops (marrow, clover, the vine dude) seemed to show distress over having to fight rwby (it sucks that the only 1v1 weiss has won was because marrow was going EASY on her cuz he didnt wanna fight her fr) but rwby???? They didnt give any shits. They were so quick to turn against them and aim for their heads. They were SMILING as they ran at the ace ops, while they looked conflicted. If you oppose their UwU philosophy, you’re dead to them.

I really wanna enjoy RWBY but sometimes this show (and the fndm) really tests me. Its ironic how this episode came right after last episode, which I thought was the best chapter this volume. Anyway I rate this 10/10 cuz it gave me best character ironwood and best boi marrow and I would like to give them hugs for carrying this volume on their backs. (Also tyrian and penny and winter have been great too)

[fandoms4enternity]

Dipcifica Kids

Mason (now Junior) Pines (I KNOW SOME OF YALL WONT BEIIEVE ME BUT I THOUGHT OF THIS NAME BEFORE DIPPER’S REAL NAME WAS REVEALED):

16 years old

Bisexual

He’s kinda nerdy but likes sports. Very protective of family. He kinda has anger issues. Just don’t mess with his family or anyone he cares about. Very kind but can come off as cold hearted because of how much he cares like Winer from RWBY or Katara from ATLA. He’s popular. He is very much likes and feared by bullies

Faye Pines:

14 years old

Lesbian

Backstory: Mason was super excited to have a little sister. When he was around 4 and went to her crib by himself in his little kid voice he said “I pwomise to always look aftwer you” But then Kate came. Mason started hanging out with Kate and wasn’t there for his sister as much. At least that’s how she felt

Faye is a very energetic girl. She loves make up and shopping. She’s very optimistic and likes to have fun. Loves going to the mall. Boys at school fawn over her. Her best friend is Hazel. She is jealous of her brother and Kate. She hates her brother for “leaving” her. She just wants to hang out with him. And she doesn’t exactly know why she doesn’t like seeing Mason and Kate together but she really admires Kate.

Mabel’s kid (The husband is a made up character I made. Hopefully I talked about him when taking about them as teens)

Hazel ‘Pines’:

14 years old

Pansexual & Poly

Hazel is the sweetest girl. She’s super kind and shows is. She’s very empathetic. She has a lot of hope. She believes in change and redemption. She’s has the perfect mix of prettiness and smarts. She’s also some weird powerful child like the avatar. She was born with blue eyes and has the real power of telepathy.

Wendy’s Kids (She’s a lesbian. Idc what y’all say)

Kate Corduroy:

16 years old

Bisexual

Kate is the cool girl like her mother except she has more of that stereotypical optimistic and chill side. She isn’t secret stressed 24/7. She doesn’t actually like people thinking she’s just like her mother. She is VERY free spirited and yes she also breaks rules like cliche teens. In fact Mason joins in on breaking rules with her. Kate also like skateboarding which she has tried to teach Hazel how to do.

Gabe corduroy:

14 years old

Gay

Gabe is the sweetest boy. Very kind. But also easily scared. He loves his friends. KINDA hates his brother. Musical theater nerd 100%. Poor baby gets bullied a bit. Has a crush on Mason.

Gavin Corduroy:

14

Straight

Tbh he’s kinda an incel. He’s basically sokka. One of those jerky guys but will end up learning to not be an incel. Was kinda homophobic. Him and Gabe were trying to persuade Faye and Hazel before but then Gabe and Hazel of course didn’t work out and Faye is a lesbian... soo... oof.

(Yes the last two are twins)

Tambie kid:

Hunter: typical good kid who likes the bad boy aesthetic. Hazel likes him for who he is and finds his trying to be bad boy quirk extremely adorable. Hunter can be a little emo. Honestly he’s a lot like Varian from the Tangled series.

Laura: (Idk if I talked about her yet. But this is Amada’s child)

Laura was on the evil side for a long time. Like Zuko. She’s very stubborn and arrogant but she’s not that bad if you get to know her. Which Hazel did. Mason hates her tho. Laura has a similar personally to her messed up mother but also similar to Cassandra from The tangled series. She’s honestly a pretty complicated character. It’d be easier to explain her with questions

I have a character I haven’t named yet. She’s just guard girl. Remember this is a future royal au. She’s pretty normal. Very sweet. Chill. Just hangs out. She can be pretty shy tho. She beloved in the “no talking to the royals” rule. Which she didn’t realize wasn’t a rule in this kingdom. She and Mason have talked a little. She had a thing for him but now here are some of the ships based off crushes or what I think people would ship and then I’ll put the ideal ships which I might explain later if I feel like it

Mason x Kate ((was the ideal ship but I love the idea of it being Wendy’s son crushing on Dipcifica’s son even more: BFF Childhood friends to lovers)

Mason x Gabe (IDEAL SHIP: Not bffs but still childhood friend-lovers trope)

Mason x Laura (This would be such a popular ship because of the aesthetic. It’s like Zutara but so much better because they have the Dipcifica chemistry)

Mason x Guard girl (Cute But Nah)

Kate x Faye (Kinda ideal ship. It was and idk if I wanna keep it. Hopeless/hopeful pining shipping)

Kate x Hazel (A really cute ship. Two kind skateboard girls. Cute idea)

Kate x Laura (I only just thought of this. The idea is interesting)

Kate x Hunter (Nah. Wouldn’t it work. I know this is the only guy ship with Kate aside from Mason but it really wouldn’t work. Kate wouldn’t even consider Hunter. They would be good friends tho)

Faye x Gavin: Lmao sike. Faye is a lesbian y’all.

Faye x Laura: (Interesting. But Laura is more likely to pick Mason even over Faye. Sorry Faye 😭 but If my au got popular I wouldn’t be surprised to see fanart of them)

Gabe’s best ship is with Mason

Gabe x Hunter (Two cute dorky boys. Meh. Perhaps)

Gavin x Hazel (She might help him to be less of an incel.. but nah. They both have to give something)

Gavin x Laura (For spoiler reasons this cannot happen)

Hazel x Laura (IDEAL SHIP)

Hazel x Hunter (IDEAL SHIP)

Laura x Hunter: (MAYBE. Cool goth mean “evil” mean girl and a dorky fake “bad boy” as her boyfriend. Certainly interesting)

Gavin x Gaurd Girl (IDEAL SHIP)

I realized I never made a kid for Soos and Melody. I’ll think about it.
