#but the RWBY stuff was AMAZING

[invested-in-your-future]

That moment when are trying to finally finish writing up semblance mechanics rewrite, but you thought too long about random offhand "Third Crusade" mention in V2 and end up writing multi-paragraph lore explaining what that means (since obviously real world crusades weren't a thing in Remnant), why would someone have a shocked reaction to that term being used and how it ties to overall setting as it is.

Oh no.

Yeah.

What’s your taste in music?

Mostly pop wether its pop or k-pop. I’m also big on rock music. Soundtracks are also amazing.

Okay, now that everybody's had some time to process and gotten some of the doomposting out, here's my thoughts on the whole situation.

First of all, I'm not really worried about whether or not RWBY will continue in some capacity. It's uncertain, sure, but no more than it was already. In February we got the update that they were talking to potential partners about getting volume 10 made, so clearly they weren't just relying on Rooster Teeth and Warner Brothers for it - maybe one of those companies will pick it up, maybe a different company will, either way I'm sure it *will* be picked up by somebody and unless they get real unlucky, the show won't be much worse off than it was before - if anything it might be better off, considering that WB have been shitty about animation for quite a while now (if you're not already familiar and you're up for some extra research, I recommend looking into the Coyote vs ACME situation that's been going on recently for a great example of WB's bullshit). And while it's unclear exactly how much involvement the original crew will have in the show's future, I'm pretty optimistic about it. I doubt the writers are going to let go of creative control without a fight, if for nothing else then for Monty - I don't like focusing too much on the whole Monty's Legacy stuff in general, but I do think that the crew are going to want to keep their friend's work alive and authentic and as accurate to what he wanted it to be as possible. None of this is a certainty of course, but I think RWBY is gonna be fine, things will just be kinda rocky for a bit.

With all that being said, while this may end up ultimately being a blessing in disguise for RWBY as a franchise, it sure ain't one for everybody who worked at Rooster Teeth. This entire situation is still horrible - so many people being fired on the spot, effective immediately, with no warning and with several of them only finding out by seeing articles about it being posted on Twitter, it's fucked. I know Rooster Teeth wasn't exactly lacking in controversy and problematic behaviour, to put it lightly, but there were still plenty of amazing people there who are now in a really shitty situation. On top of that, while again this isn't exactly anything new, especially for WB, it is the latest instance of a huge problem in the animation and entertainment industries. So no matter how things pan out for RWBY, we should still be really fucking mad about this.

And we definitely shouldn't be celebrating. I've seen some posts saying "good riddance" and celebrating RT's downfall, not just from people who hate RWBY (I mean don't get me wrong I'm sure the hatedom is out in full force but that's not the kind of thing I'm referring to right now), but people who like/used to like the show and just hated the company. And don't get me wrong, I didn't like a lot of things about the company either, I've actually been wanting RWBY to separate itself from RT for a pretty long time (be careful what you wish for I guess 💀), but there's a time and a place and this certainly ain't it. Plenty of people who have worked there have said that they loved their jobs, plenty of others said it was horrible and toxic and nightmarish, but either way a job is a job and in this industry work isn't always easy to find, especially in recent years. Celebrate in private if you want, but now is not the damn time to be bringing out the cake and confetti.

TLDR; I'm cautiously optimistic about RWBY's future, I'm pretty sure it'll be fine and they'll be able to keep the core crew to at least some extent, but this is still a really bad situation for everybody who just lost their jobs, don't be a dick.

#rwby #rooster teeth #what the fuck else are people tagging these kind of posts with uh #warner bros #I guess #anyway sorry if I sound kinda miffed in this post I'm just really tired. of a lot of shit #oh and just to be super 100% clear - even if RWBY had been just straight up cancelled the most important thing is still the workers #focus on giving them whatever support you can and don't pressure them to talk about the show and it's future #which I imagine most of you already know but just to be crystal clear on all this

The songs from Hazbin Hotel really remind me of a segment from HBomberguy's video RWBY video where he talks about how while yes, the fights are amazing, people don't watch the episodes that surround them. They just rewatch the fights. It reminded me of how, while yes, one of the most consistaintly praised things in Hazbin Hotel was the show's music (which is 100% deserved imo) the surrounding stuff is just...meh and in some instanced downright offensive and irrisponsible. Just like how Hbomberguy's video metions, the fact that the scenes around the fights aren't the best, it ends up bringing down the quality of some of the best parts of the show down with it, and I feel like that is highly applicable to the songs from Hazbin Hotel. Yes Out For Love is an amazing song, but why is Carmilla singing it to Vaggie of all people??? Yes, Loser Baby is a bop, but the entire episode reeks of an ooze that almost overshadows Keith David's stunning vocals. A stellar soundtrack can't save a deeply flawed show.

Years after the war, Blake and Yang are happy, married, and ready to start a family. The day Blake finds out she's pregnant is supposed to be the happiest of her life, but everything changes when she finds out Yang got lost in a mission and is considered dead. Now she has to take care of the little life they created together alone, memories of Yang accompanying her every step of the way, and make sure that their child will know about her mother and how extraordinary she was.

Happy Bumbleby Big Bang 2023, I can finally post this!

I'm so sorry it took me so long, here there's a big italian comicon I've been going to with friends in these days, which means I've been sleeping like 4-5 hours each night while spending all day out walking and visiting and doing stuff these days. Lots of fun, but I am exhausted, it's almost midnight now and I have probably half neuron left.

Anyway, all my love and thanks go once again to @growing-magic for being nice fun and very patient with me, not even mentioning the AMAZING art she made for my story! Thank you friend!

That's all I can manage for now, I need rest.

Enjoy the bees!

Can I be honest? I feel kind of guilty that Alastor is one of my favorite Hazbin characters, considering he is a racist stereotype of Creoles and Vodou practitioners. I just want to take him and completely rework his character into something less lazy and offensive. I love his personality and his backstory could potentially be very interesting and unique, but Vivzie is so bad at writing any sort of marginalized character that she always just ends up making offensive stereotypes. At this point I feel guilty that I even like her shows to begin with since they're just so full of stereotypes!! ;_;

That you are aware of the problem is amazing already! It's difficult to consume many pieces of media with these problems. It doesn't make you a bad person to still enjoy part of it, as much as you knowledge of the serious problems it has.

I enjoy a lot of characters and concepts in Helluva and Hazbin- that's why it makes me sad, all the bad stuff that it has. But I did like Millie before unhappy campers. I know the amount of effort the animators pun on it. I like Tom and Katie. I love Nifty and Sir Pentious. But there are bad and hurtful things important to point out and criticize.

Also, where there are problems, there is always an opportunity for people like you to create something good upon it. The amount of beautiful redesigns are crazy.

(either way I'm not watching Hazbin in Amazon Prime lol)

Take Aggretsuko for example, I really liked the series (before the final season). But how they dealt with many problems, it wasn't good. The way they develop Haida and Retsuko's relationship was awful. Haida needed therapy, not a screaming match. They tried to deal with the problem of Homelessness, they drop the ball on that one.

I also liked so much about the potential of rwby, but God damn. The tournament part of the story and what happen in it WAS CRAZY. But it has many flaws in writing, many having a bad take on racism and discrimination.

I love Dragon Ball and like Naruto. It doesn't delete how bad the pervert jokes were. -And the problem it has had with writing female characters and otherwise.

-and so on and so forth.

RWBY Fans talk about what makes RWBY enjoyable for the FNDM.

I want to take a moment to thank the RWBY Fandom for coming together on post

www.tumblr.com/iamafanofcartoons/714857308133441536/lets-talk-about-what-makes-rwby-good-or-enjoyable

and discussing why RWBY was an enjoyable show for each of them.

Everyone here had a fantastic reason, and I am grateful to each of you!

@hmvw2015 : For me, RWBY filled the void left behind by Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

It’s one of the few shows I’ve seen (aside from Adventure Time) that grows up with its audience.

The fight scenes are so incredible! They’re lightening fast I would have to rewatch the same episode at least twice or thrice! Easily rivaling those done by Studios Gainax or TRIGGER, or Titmouse.

Since every character, place, and object have connections to fairy tales, mythologies, folklore, and classic novels, it did a great job portraying them to their root inspirations. Plus, I’m always digging deep into their designs and backstories.

The music is almost top tier to the music from the Disney Renaissance Era. Maybe even better than that. The songs add another layer of foreshadowing for the characters, and they’re fun to listen to~!

It tackles issues like self-worth, abuse, and death.

The series basically screams “Women’s Rights” and “Gay Rights” and proud of it. :D

@ammy246 :

I've always enjoyed the characters, and I like how there are 4 badass female protagonists who are each enjoyable to watch. I also like how the villains are actually threatening, so the heroes have to put effort into earning victories unlike many works of fiction. The animation always excites me, because you never know what you're going to get. And, don't even get me started on the amazing soundtrack.

@cinnamonrollfuckhead :

it tickles all the right things about me. i got in trouble for reading in classes when i finished my work early at school, it was nearly always history or mythology. i was an ancient Egypt kid. i read outside my age group. if Snapple wanted to employ me to write factoids for their caps i would take it. i was hooked on RWBY immediately despite being older than any of the main characters. i found an unlikely character to relate to in Jaune. i loved how it balanced serious and goofy themes.

@satoshi-mochida :

Some stuff I like about the show is that it's pretty fun and entertaining to watch, has constantly improving writing and animation(the CRWBY recognizing ACTUAL criticism, and working on those), with smarter and deeper than some may think moments, well-done characters, great music and songs, and probably more. I even cosplayed as Jaune(and the 'HuntsMan' with a Wonder-Zwei plush)with my then-girlfriend before COVID hit and other stuff happened, and enjoyed doing that.

@haunted-meatsack :

I'm waaaaay behind but I started watching for the fight choreography, music, and battle skirts. Plus I'm a sucker for small girls who kick ass with GIANT weapons. Then the story and characters kept me coming. I need to catch up.

@bumblebyfan :

I like RWBY due to a lot of reasons, for starters, the relationships between the main characters, and how they constantly help each other, I also really like the whole fantasy setting and how funny it is at times, I also really liked how they handled Ruby’s arc during season 9, as someone who has had... intrusive thoughts

@xlbingo10 :

one thing that i particularly like about rwby is that the characters aren't dumbasses. i feel like so often in shows i watch there's an episode conflict where the characters make an obviously terrible plan that will clearly backfire horribly just for the sake of the episode plot and it's always painful to watch, so it's really nice to watch a show where that doesn't happen.

@sir-somewhat :

I love the cast.

I honestly can't say there is a character I am not fond of in some way and that includes the villians.

I love the idea of semblances and the faunus.

Also I want more faunus lore. Given the existence of the Ever After I have to wonder if the Faunus came from another world created by the Brothers.

@ghost-of-sparda :

Rwby was a show I found in college that I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy, but as I watched it- I found myself completely enthralled in the world created by Monty Oum and his friends. It’s story has me on the edge of my seat every episode, and it’s anime vibes make it a treat to watch. It’s not perfect, I will admit that- and there have been times where I didn’t agree with a direction of story telling at first. However there hasn’t been a show that gets me as excited as RWBY does since I was a kid.

If you grew up watching anime, or grew up watching anime- I’d give RWBY a go. If you are still not over the Owl House/ She-Ra/ ATLA/ LOK/ Naruto/ or any other amazing series with crazy fights and an amazing story: I recommend Rwby as your next obsession.

And if you want to give anime a try, but are still dipping your toes into the medium- Rwby is a good half way point for newcomers.

@thatringboy :

For the same reasons above, I’m also in love with the complex motivations behind the antagonists. Mercury hated the world and needed an enabler, Emerald needed security, Cinder snapped after a lifetime of abuse (just like Mercury), Hazel wanted revenge, Lionhart wanted to save himself, Raven wanted to save herself, Tyrian is just insane (based), Watts wanted petty revenge, Neo wanted revenge but doesn’t know what to do afterwards, CC wants to fulfill their cruel purpose, and Salem just wants to finally die. Torchwick was a comical villain who posed a dangerous threat, the Malachite sisters were doing their jobs, Ironwood was a victim of his own paranoia, Cardin was just racist, Cordovin worships her superiors, the Fennec brothers too, Adam wanted total control over everything and everyone in his life and would stop at nothing to get it, Ilia believed in a cause, Tock was following orders, it’s all so varied and exciting!!

@pyrokinetic-murder-hobo :

I honestly fell in love with this project immediately back when the red trailer was first introduced to me.

Though the animation for RWBY was simple and understandably a lot of people regard it as not the best. Even V1 and the original 4 trailers had a living soul to me and there was a certain charm to the characters and the animation.

What kept me coming back is I find myself being unable to predict where the show will go and it honestly keeps me drawn in that my thoughts and predictions are completely circumvented. The show doesn’t follow the trajectory of really any other media and Monty navigated it masterfully.

There’s so many relatable characters and the situations they are put in are approached not perfectly but in a human way as to be a human (even if you have copious amounts of power) means you’ll definitely trip up.

But simply put I’ve loved this project since the beginning with the 4 trailers and could write a dissertation on why I love this show and include a long list of different things I love ranging from OST to characters to design animation. But maybe a talk for another day

And it made me some awesome friends on tumblr of course too which is a major plus (you better know who you are lol)

iamafanofcartoons:

For me, RWBY is a change of pace.

It allows for women to be shown as independent characters, just as smart and strong as male ones.

It doesn’t use fanservice , you don’t have internal monologuing during fight scenes, you don’t have people screaming random attack names, and the music and designs are great.

I appreciate the humor, its not toilet humor or degrading humor like a lot of anime.

It also tackles difficult themes like abuse, leadership, morality, and debate.

It also takes the white male savior trope so common in the fanfics that people use to promote their OCs, and takes a giant dump on that garbage. If anything, when people say “the fanfics are better than the show” you’ll see them promoting a white male savior trope above all else.

Finally? Its a pro-LGBT show on many aspects, which amusingly infuriates a lot of straight shippers who defend their straight white male character who they put on a pedestal.

for me RWBY is a comfort

It has been for 10 years

I literally would not be who I am today without this show

I'd probably still be a closeted lesbian living in a conservative household with an abusive father

and a mother who hated me

hell I may not even be here

But instead I'm living across the world from them and I'm okay

As okay as I can be

Its helped me through so much and its introduced me to people I have become life long friends with

@snowqueenofmyheart :

Agreed to the above, as well as being able to enjoy a story that centers women in a way that doesn’t reduce them to simplistic tropes or fanservice. I’ve been looking for more female-centered material over the last several years, and stumbling upon RWBY turned out to be a real joy in that regard. Across the board, you have so many compelling female characters, heroes and villains alike. Not to mention two main characters being explicitly in a queer romance is a delight and a relief.

and they get the opportunity to develop and evolve

i love the themes! love and hope and caring about each other and all that

the fights are really fun to watch especially with the unique weapons and everyone's different fighting style

the story is really compelling and well written too!

also gayness. can't forget the queerness

@foulfirerebel :

The music was what first made me get interested in RWBY. The hard hitting rock that also carried quite a bit of meaning into it if you truly took a moment to listen to the lyrics.

So, from there I watched V1 at a friend's house and felt it was good. It did a good job with the action scenes, and setting things up for the characters.

Volume 2, however, is where I truly fell in love with the show. The appearance of Cinder, of Ironwood, the food fight, the investigation into Torchwick and the White Fang, the dance and hacking sequence! Everything pointed to something more going on. Something hidden waiting to spring forth!

V1 was a great entry point, V2 convinced me to stay and hooked me, and when I finally marathoned V3 I was EAGER to watch V4 and onward. Any and all quibbles I may have had melted away when the Fall of Beacon happened.

So, long story short, I love the story. I love how things are built up and come back further down the line (Jaune's issues, Ruby's issues, etc.). I love how the characters do go through a lot and need help getting back up. I love how sincere and earnest everything is without a hint of irony.

I love the slow burn relationships, and that the show doesn't end with those relationships just being established. I love that, despite everything, this one little indie show has continued going past everything that's happened in a decade since it started. I love that the story is engaging, the characters are deep, the writing is great, and that I'm even feeling bad for the villains which I don't normally do.

RWBY may not be the most perfect thing ever, but frankly I love that the writers do see and incorporate feedback into their work. I love that, unlike how Halo or Star Wars do things, you don't necessarily need to have read all the side content to understand things too.

Most of all is I love how this show has improved on every level: animation, writing, voice acting, etc. It's just so refreshing. It's the Little Engine that Could continuing onward and getting better as it goes.

And hey, being a Bumbleby shipper since V3 and being vindicated in V9? Cherry on the sundae. It's been a wild ride, and I'd love it to continue.

RWBY is one of my favorite shows, it take a unique concept and make it very enjoyable to watch.

The main and side characters are all unique in their own way and very enjoyable.

The story is really good.

And the music is phenomenal.

@but-a-humble-goon :

Rwby is, in a word, earnest. Its characters are unashamedly sincere, affectionate and vulnerable and the show understands not only that these things are not a weakness but that there can be no greater measure of strength. It’s a story overflowing with heart that categorically rejects stoicism and nihilism and never once apologises for itself. Nothing has ever hit me harder and I do mean that.

@mooninoir :

i started watching when vol. 1 was still going, with a fansub (!) working hell and back to translate each episode as they came out. i remember waiting every week to see a new episode, and when the last episodes came, i was entirely invested in this sci-fi fantasy series with fairytale elements and wanted to know what would happen next.

and, for me, it's an endearing series that i enjoy watching, even with its flaws. it's fun, but it also has a heart. i like how it didn't shy away from telling a broader story. vol. 3's gut-wrenching finale was for me what made me realize i was not there just for the amazing fights and cool soundtrack, but for the characters and how they live in this crazy world. it was amazing to watch its worldbuilding evolve to such great lengths and see the characters i like to grow and learn and evolve along with it. they are done well and don't feel misplaced in the narrative. it just flows nicely and i guess the latest volume proved that to me (the themes, the motifs, the characters' choices, and the visuals) everything comes together, y'know?

and i just... like it. i like rwby. i really do.

Why do you watch this show?

I watch RWBY for the cool characters, interesting setting and engaging overarching story and arcs, plus some gorgeous animation, sets and awesome music.

What makes it appeal to you?

Women, including queer women, are center stage and given tons of dynamic personality, agency and exploration in ways I rarely see done in other series.

@feifiefofum :

look, the ad on the tin was cute girls doing violent things and looking great while doing it. that was the impetus for me to follow the show, i was there when it started with the famous red trailer to yellow trailer.

the writing then wasn't bad, a bit condensed because, y'know, shoestring budget so everything was very tight time wise. but y'know, you didn't watch the four trailers and get sold on the story- which was good by the by, but it wasn't exceptional. it was by the numbers, hitting what they need to hit, but good. you didn't think it was spectacular.

but then volume 3 hits you out of nowhere, and you realize, oh, the writing is phenomenal actually.

rwby has deceptively good writing that on the surface is good par for the course that lulls you into complacency, and then manages to sideswipe you with incredible twists that you don't see, but on looking back, the seeds for the twist were planted from book 1 on. the world is slowly and meticulously rolled out to the viewer, the characters shine, and the action, while still spectacular, become secondary to the characters and the world.

i started watching rwby, expecting cute girls doing violent things. and they deliver on that, and if you come watch rwby just for that, it delivers that. i didn't come in for hearty world building, intrigue, and lore so deep you can get lost in it. the writers write on a razor's edge, giving enough lore for a backdrop and setting the stage, but if you decide to dig at any trail, you can get lost in it. the concept of dust, the name of the world itself- frankly i think it's a masterclass in giving enough to keep the story going but having enough in the back that every new twist that they lay out can be found to have grown from a seed that was planted in an earlier volume.

i dunno who traded their soul away to keep track of all that world building and lore, but that excel sheet must be something to behold. rwby throws u-turns that you don't expect at you, lulls you with a sense of 'okay, i see your tricks now' and somehow manages to turn you around again, and have it make sense.

frankly, it's a little frustrating, i've been bamboozled and led by the nose.

and i love it for that. i'm delighted by the ride i'm on, and i hope the show keeps going.

@aspennntree :

I watch rwby for several reasons- mostly for the characters, i find some of them really relatable

also i just genuinely enjoy the story and the visuals and find the show very comforting

i also like the people i’ve met in this community that are kind and i like having people to share my interests with

i’ve made many new friends being in this community and it’s something i’m very passionate about, i just really enjoy it genuinely

@tokufan400 :

Even with everything, I can't bring myself to stop watching RWBY. I got back into it after talking with some friends in highschool, and I've been doing my best to keep up with it since. I have love for the characters (Weiss is the best), and I do feel a sence of amazement that a western project like this ha s grown so much. Not to mention the amount of art, comics, manga, and fanfics that have spawned from the show.

Do I have problems with RWBY? Yes. I will probably never stop ranting about something the show does to tick me off. But I do the same for Star Vs and Kamen Rider Zero One, both shows I still hold a love for. Hell, I might do the same for Amphibia and Owl House down the line if I do a re watch.

So yeah, still love RWBY and I want to be around to see how this story ends.

@howlingday :

So, I was in high school and I was watching Red VS Blue. Then I started watching Rage Quit. Then Achievement Hunter. Play Pals.

Then my sister and my high school crush were like, hey, try out RWBY. I mocked them by saying "It should be Ar-Dubyoo-Bee-Why". Then I got into it and, well, I liked it the more I got into it until I was caught up to Volume 2. Then Death Battle had the Yang VS Tifa fight (PLEASE, NO REMATCH), and I was rooting for Yang. Then I saw Volume 3, and I was shocked, dismayed, and devastated at the sudden heel turn. I've been hooked ever since.

So, to answer your questions.

I watch RWBY because it's fun, and I want to know where the story goes. I loved the fun had at Beacon, and I want to know what happens next.

The appeal comes from the desire to see these group of friends fight to save the world from the Grimm. I want to see them thrive against a world where everything is stacked against them! And I want to see them flying kick someone in the face to the sound of the most amazing butt-rock since Crush 40 Sonic (No offense MGR)!

So, yeah, I love watching RWBY because it's a story to be told. And I'm going to openly sob when the story finally comes to an end.

@gorillageek27 :

i watch because, okay i was kinda turned off by it at first, just "what is this anime shit?", but i watched it and it's the most out there animated thing i can think like. Rwby is a show that somehow got me appreicating animated projects and you can tell the writers and animators have fun with it.

@lithominium :

Its endearing, the lack of amazing animation in vol 1-3 is made up for in how much love was put into it. The characters are fun and loveable and the writing is goofy but unlike some other media ive watched its very good at knowing when to keep the tone consistent. Its very gay and i love gay and its got one of the greatest slow burns ive ever seen with great payoffs which always happen when they should. I like the setting and the lore and the weapons and the semblances. Its such a good show

@everafterfrisk :

I love RWBY for a ton of reasons but to keep it short:

• The Facial Expressions of the characters match really well with the tones of each scene

• Amazing character designs that can just tell you so much about them before you get to know them

•The animation: RWBY imo is best 3D animated series, most of the time 3D animes tend to be stiff and lifeless

But RWBY gives its fights alot of finesse and creativity to go along with

Like here's a few examples:

(V9)

Weiss and Blake using gambol shroud's blade to propel Yang while simultaneously having Yang use Arma Gigas's Sword

www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9RQnk7Oueo

(V3)

Yang closing Flynt's Trumpet making his quartet backfire on him

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLu3_LKG_A8

(V4 Short)

Ruby using the recoil of her weapon to bounce out of the way from a Grimm and trip him up using her Scythe catching him into a Hurricane formed by her semblance (13:54)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivns4_clQ_c

There's even a full in depth analysis on the fight choreography from the earlier volumes to check out

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMQfm0RsY6o

• Themes of Unity,Self identity,Acceptance,Loving oneself, Finding hope in the most dreadful scenarios and the list goes on

• The Protagonist Ruby Rose is a breath of fresh air similar to say Deku from BNHA where both know the world isn't exactly kind but still try to help the best they can; even if it results in them destroying themselves to get there as their series's goes on

•The Villains are all pretty realistic in their motivations being not afraid to fall victim to arrogance while simultaneously being victims of either the world's actions or their own

°The show doesn't swindle you into thinking that just cuz they have sympathetic backgrounds that they're immediately good

They have to work for it and atone for misdeeds such as Ilia,Emerald and Hazel or doesn't believe their actions are unwarranted like Salem and Cinder or has a lack of empathy for the world around them like Mercury or Tyrian or Wants to do the right thing but lets the ends justify their means(Ironwood) or Living only on the fear of your actions(Lionheart) or The world has dealt so much injustice to you that you felt giving it by ten thousand fold would remedy it ( Ilia and Adam)

▪︎ The Music is just PEAK for me

The Sound design,everything just speaks volumes of the scene

@blakistan :

I think RWBY was first suggested to be me on the grounds of “lots of really cool fights” which, while not ultimately the point of the show is still a big plus! Monty was an absolute wizard when it came to fight choreography and CRWBY has done a fantastic job keeping up that legacy. Ofc that was only the thing that got me to look at the show in the first place - what made me stay was the incredibly well done character-driven story. Following along and exploring the arcs of all the different characters in the show helped me through tough times and shaped a lot of who I am as a person today - Blake and Weiss’ stories in particular did so much in helping me find hope that I could grow as a person because that what the show is: hope. So uh yeah, if you like deep, interwoven character narratives that don’t shy away from growth, change, or the ugliness that sometimes crops up along the way with those things, definitely give RWBY a watch

@proximio-5 :

Tbh, I don't know, there's something about it that I can't explain, I started watching it in 2018, but somehow it's one of my top 3 Favorite animated shows, it can be because of the story or maybe the background, like the people behind it and everything they've done and how far they've come

For example, Monty; first he made the Haloid animation, then he became director of animation in Red vs Blue, and then he created this masterpiece that will be a big part of me

The animation itself is one of the best things about the show, I mean looking back at the style of background in V1 and more recent volumes, saying it has improved would be an understatement, I mean just look at it, you can see how much effort the've done for it

Another reason is the development or the characters, they've changed and matured in many ways. (Speaking of, I really hope Ruby comes back different but keeping at least some of her previous self)

So yeah, this show is far of being perfect, but then again...

What isn't?

@kereeachan :

I’m generally a fan of animation, and it’s been neat seeing how it’s improved since volume 3 (when I got into it). The story intrigues me, and I love the wide cast of characters and their development. The alternate universe is a neat one, Grimm are fascinating as a take on Evil Creatures to me, and the designs have always been cool, bar a few that never flew with me (Blake’s 1-3 outfit just kind of always looked a lil too sexy for my tastes on a “huntress” and I initially thought Nora’s 4-6 look was a downgrade before it grew on me)

I really enjoyed Ironwood’s slide from well-intentioned, if incorrect, hero to villain. Honestly his foreshadowing in volumes 2, 3, and 4 was some of the best I’ve ever seen. Maswartz above has commented on how they fool you by having him take facistic actions against people we hate more to hide how far he’s falling fast until we actually GET to Atlas and Mantle and realize it’s gone full Police State (if it wasn’t before). Genius.

I also adored Penny, she was my baby, she was amazing as a character and I’m so happy we got her back for a few more volumes before losing her for good (as much as anyone is ever truly gone, of course, she still looms large over vol 9). As one of the “weird girls” of the world who took a long time to come into my comfort with being a girl due to teasing and bullying (autism, baby. they always know) Penny just always SPOKE to me. I’m glad she not only proved her Real Girl bonafides as a Maiden but even got to live outside a metal body for a few episodes before her death, finally feeling the warmth of a hug.

@sevenofreds :

It's a genuinely fun and enjoyable show that can mix multiple genres together without it being jarring. There's action and comedy, there's horror, there's mystery and drama, and it all makes sense for what's happening. It has a layered and complex plot where things almost always turn out to be more nuanced than they first seem, and almost every twist/big event is subtly foreshadowed in some way. The shorter length of episodes compared to other shows also makes it really fun to binge watch.

@crowwrites2140 :

Of course it has its flaws like every other piece of media, but I genuinely find RWBY both entertaining and just a good show in general. I love the "AHA!" moments when you something is revealed that has been hinted at for volumes. I love the music and could listen to it for hours. I love the characters; their designs, their motivations, their relationships with each other and their character arcs that span the show. In regards to the protagonists, I also enjoy how they all seem so human. The writers allow them to make mistakes and fail. They aren't always the perfect heroes. And in regards to the villains, they are believable too. Nearly every one of them has some kind of motivation that drives them to want revenge in destruction. I love the plot, despite its flaws. It's complex and ties in with countless allusions. And lastly, I love the fanbase. Not the toxic side, honestly it makes me sad that a show like RWBY needs positivity posts because its hate fanbase is just so large. But there are so many in the community who are incredibly creative and create hilarious memes, beautiful art, and amazing stories, and I'm grateful to be a part of that.

@the-god-of-nihon :

RWBY is a special show to me. I’ve been with the series since it premiered at the end of RvB Season 10, and ten years is not an inconsiderable amount of time to be a fan of something. And unlike the “critics” or RWDE, I don’t stick around to hate-watch because of the sunken cost fallacy, or “to learn what not to do.” Or just for a reason to complain, more accurately. I simply enjoy the series. I have since it began, and I still do, and I’ll continue to do so.

While I don’t like everything about the show, or agree with all the creative choices; I don’t automatically assume that something I don’t like is wrong or bad. I happily take RWBY for what it is, and not what I think it should be. I, by no means am blind to the flaws and missteps, but none of them hinder my enjoyment to the degree that I feel like the show overall is a negative experience, even at its lowest points.

I watch the show because I like it. It has been a consistent source of enjoyment for me, and even now. I’ve enjoyed growing alongside it from an indie web-series into what it is today and seeing how it’s changed and improved with every volume.

I enjoy and am invested in many of the characters. I like the world and the bits of world-build and lore we get throughout the main show and supplementary material. And of course I can’t not touch on the fights and character designs. Its vibrant and narrative-relevant use of color, and how that’s effected the shows aesthetic development. And Monty Oum’s classic high-speed, frenetic and intricate choreo, that’s yet to be replicated. And how while different the post-Monty fights are still interesting and engaging for the most part.

I love the depictions of friendship and platonic/familial connection in the show, most prominently for me personally, Ruby & Jaune’s bond. As it’s so rare for a male-female friendship to be purely platonic and still be so genuinely well-written and integral to both characters. Although, I think RWBY is largely hit or miss with the way it handles romance, I think its friendships & familial bonds are where it excels.

Ruby, Yang, and Jaune are my top three favorites characters in RWBY, and how their characters and arcs have been so endearing and intriguing to watch. Especially as since V7, and what is being done with them current.

@lostdemifiend :

The biggest thing for why I love RWBY so much it is "oh that makes sense!" when something unexpected happens BECAUSE everything was set up previously that would result in this eventually, and none of it feels forced.

At the same time, its gleeful deconstruction of common shonen anime tropes adds to that sense of surprise. Subconsciously, one goes in expecting certain things to happen, but it defies that expectation in a way that feels like a natural consequence.

There's so much more, but I can't even start to unpack just exactly why I love this series so much.

Hi! I'm relatively new to the fandom and I'm looking for RWBY fan artists to follow, so if you are one let me know! I'd like to see all the amazing stuff y'all have created, especially positive/happy stuff since for me I get enough angst from the show itself. 😅

JNPR VS RWBY

Fanmade OVA it feels like a episode that could easily be in volume one or two it dies into appears insecurity about being perceived as perfect and the distance between her and jaune

Not sure if anyone seen it yet so I thought I'd come here and post it it's a 10 out of 10

And I really hope that the Ruby fandom starts doing more stuff like this instead of putting their energy in the fighting each other over random stuff and shipping we put all our effort in the fandom projects that turn out amazing like this

[invested-in-your-future]

It's truly amazing how anyone can genuinely believe that the malarkey that is RWBY v4-9 was planned from the beginning.

Eh, depends on which parts.

As one watches the milesWBY volumes, it's pretty apparent which parts of the story beats feel like "intended" bullet points and which ones are stuff they just filled up with random nonsense.

Like, obviously all the brother gods and relics and vaults are one hundred percent Miles absurdity. Likewise, nobody can convince me that they always intended Atlas to fly, especially with how WOR very explicitly portrays it as just another city in a better location.

But there's a lot of stuff that feels pretty obviously like something that was always going to happen - like Yang and Blake having to face Adam or Ironwood cracking under the pressure of the world on his shoulders.

Now, at the core, there's nothing wrong with adding elements to your story as you go - most writers do that.

The issue however is no matter if the plotlines are new or planned, execution is just a mess.

As an example - okay Yang and Blake are obviously going to have to face Adam at the end of their respective arcs as they figure out their things so...where are the arcs leading to it?

Where's the buildup, the development, the progression? Where are Yang and Blake dealing with their issues and then with the issues between them? Where's Adam's descent into nonsense as his power(the thing he would care about) is taken from him till he snaps?? It's not there.

So the final big face-off against the man who scarred them with tragedy lands with the gravitas and pizazz of a wet thud - it's an after-though, a "side quest" that just randomly pops up while the rest of the nonsense in that Volume is happening.

Likewise I do believe they had like bulletpoint that says "Team RWBY mistrusts Ozpin because he shady" or something

So the big build up of moral ambiguity ends up with Ozpin literally doing nothing and then everyone deciding he betrayed them or manipulated them. Where's the build up? Where's the actual REASONS to doubt Ozpin? Not there.

So the crucial moment of everyone rejecting Ozpin's nonsense ends up with a stupid stand off where everyone is mad about birds and the idea that Salem is undefeatable (when Grimm have been the threat for centuries and everyone SHOULD BY DEFAULT assume it can't be "stopped" and is just part of the world, helloooooooo?)

It's one of the reasons I DO believe parts of the story WERE pre-planned - because it's like the writers are doing their own annoying gods stuff and THEN suddenly remember that "oh right this plotpoint needs to happen sometime here" - so whoop dee doo Ironwood suddenly switches personalities without build-up and the like.

The jarring switches between something that HAS to happen versus just random padding are what tell me that there were specific plotpoints that maybe always were intended to happen - Neo would obviously have Wonderland allusions and stalk Ruby, Ironwood would obviously crack in a morally ambiguous way, Adam would obviously get defeated - but the writing staff simply have absolutely zero capability(OR interest) to build up to those plot points

They just happen, alongside all the completely milquetoast brother gods fanfic stuff.

It's like the writing team has vague bullet points of what has to happen but no idea or interest in building up to them because they are way too in love with their brother gods and relics nonsense. And in turn, the good plot points suffer and end up completely anticlimactic or a complete mess.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

in general i think it's kind of weird how "the main character being a revolutionary who kills the main villain who is a monarchy/capitalist or whatever" is seen as like. something that could never be in a kid show, and an expectation that could only come from "terminally online people who refuse to watch adult media and don't understand how kid shows work" considering that the inverse of "revolutionary who wants to change the world for the better and is portrayed as a villian/in the wrong for it and is in response killed/imprisioned for it" is like. a shockingly common trope in kids media? like not just in like. fucking x men or the legend korra or rwby or stuff that's not explicitly aimed at children/sort of also aimed for adults but fucking. wizards of waverly place did this exact same trope it's amazing.

[notmaplemable]

My Proposal For A Generic Sports Show RWBY AU

Yes, I know it's a weird direction for a RWBY AU, just go with it.

I don't know what sport it would be, but here's my cast.

------

Qrow: The elite former player turned alcoholic failure after his career was ruined by... something. Forced to coach the Crap But Nice Protag Team with some sort of penalty if he doesn't. Starts off not really caring and being very frustrated by the poor state of the team. Starts to loosen up, probably stops drinking too, around the midpoint of the story. Probably has a relapse at the end of the 2nd act, maybe a love interest too.

Taiyang: Assistant coach who's mostly there to keep Qrow in line and cheer on Ruby and Yang. He also handles the morale, team cohesion, and physical conditioning stuff. Doesn't have the "eye for strategy" to be the head coach, at least at the start.

Summer: Still dead.

Raven: Still getting milk.

---

Ruby: Still the protagonist and the youngest of the main characters. Has a lot of talent, isn't the most skilled, and has a few areas she's really strong in. But one area she's terrible in, which just so happens to be Yang's specialty. Will make some mistakes that the more experienced players wouldn't. Some think she's really only on the team because her dad's a coach.

Weiss: Was supposed to be on the Elite But Assholes rival team, but left the team when they wanted to move Weiss to a different position, or something like that. With her being blacklisted from most of the other teams for that. She's pretty good, but not much of a team player, which causes some friction on the team.

Blake: Don't really know what to do with Blake honestly. Might have Adam play for the elite team and dump her. So basically she's just playing to spite Adam? Going to have to work on this one.

Yang: Good overall player, but amazing in one area. Definitely a lot of smack talk from her. Tends to make short sighted decisions when she's angry. Which is definitely going to screw the team over at some point.

Jaune: A last minute addition to the team who really doesn't know the sport and is mostly there to be a benchwarmer. Does terribly whenever he does play, at first, but gets better over the story. He'll still be the worst on the team, but better. Gets really good at the strategic side of the sport, kind of becomes a player coach. Definitely coming up with some awesome strategy during The Big Game.

Nora: Nora's just there for fun. She's also pretty good, but I don't really have any big plotline for her yet.

Pyrrha: Amazing player who decided not to play for the upstart team instead of the rivals. The best player on the team by a wide margin. Doesnt really connect with the rest of the team at first though, but she does eventually. 100% getting injured before The Big Game.

Ren: Nora dragged him along.

------

I spent way too long on this.

Really enjoying your rwby imagines there's not enough of them in the fandom, how woukd rwby be with an s/o who has a dark past and is trying to redeem themselves however due to this past some don't trust/hate them

Team RWBY with an S/O who has a dark past and is trying make up for it by becoming a hunter

Reader is gonna be one of the students at Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls but it's for juveniles instead of just girls cause I'm going for a GN. Reader anyway in this they worked with Roman and Neo in Roman Holiday and a couple afterwards

Blake 

•I'm sure you know but this girl was probably the most understanding outta everyone 

•After all she was part of the white fang, and while it's different from being an assassin it doesn't change the wrong she's done or the lives that were lost that could've been prevented 

•She knows it's the same for you and she's so glad that you decided to leave your old life behind and try to make up for it by protecting others

•She does understand the distrust and hate you get for your past though

•Doesn't mean she doesn't hate it when people try to start stuff with you because of it or spread rumors about you faking your remorse

•She's very quick to defend you in these situations, saying how while your past won't change at least you're trying to make up for up for it by helping others

•And for that he's always going to be a better person than those who can't see past a person history and judge then for it

Weiss

•Not gonna lie this girl was shook when she found out about your past

•And had a bit harder of a time coming to terms with it then the other girls 

•It doesn't change her feelings for you don't worry

•She just needs time to process this new information 

•She is glad and very proud that you left that life behind you and want to change

•She's very quick to thrash anyone who tries to start anything and she is very good at making them feel ashamed for their mistrust or hatred of you

•Yes your past is dark but at least you're not letting it define you and are choosing a brighter path of saving others

Yang

•Okay so this girl probably processed the information the best outta all the girls

•She may have been a bit shook but it's kinda ambiguous 

•Still all that matters to her is who you are now and who you are now is amazing 

•Probably the girl who's going to throw hands with the people who hate you and talk shit behind your back

•You tell her it's fine but she's not letting people talk shit about her love

•Afterwards if their words or people treatment of you gets to you expect to cuddled into the bed by this sunny dragon queen

•You're past may have been dark but your future is full of light

Ruby

•Oh boy so you probably thought she'd take this well but your only partially right

•Ruby is shaken when finding out about your past

•The person she loves and cares for use to kill people and from a young age at that

•You need to explain things to her pretty quickly and comfort her while doing so

•Afterwards she's able to come to terms with your past and is happy that you decided to change

•what she hates are the people who hate you, she can understand the distrust but they don't even know you abd are judging you

•She finds that unacceptable and after yelling at them to leave you alone she drags you off to hang out so she can cool off

•Sure you may have done dark things in the past but at least you're trying

•That's far more then most people would attempt to do

•And for that she's going to forever be by your side
