RWBY VTuber Personalities
I heard that yang is going to be joining Ruby soon as a VTuber!!!! And suddenly, the world feels a bit brighter! But, I would like to imagine how other RWBY characters would be like if they began Vtubing.
Weiss: Complains about how childish video games are. Gets obsessively over-invested and restarts after every mistake.
Blake: Also complains about how they are a waste of time. Leaves after 10 minutes but just leaves the stream going (after depositing a shadowclone stand-in).
Yang: BONZAI!!!
Pyrhha: Has never played a video game before in her life. Smashes the Dark Souls II speedrun world record on her first try while apologizing to every monster.
Juane: Nervously tries to act cool, begins to freak out, and just starts talking in his ASMR voice because he has no idea what else to do.
Nora: BRING! IT! ONNNNNNNN! HIYYAAAAAAAA!!!
Ren: Politely says hello. Finishes the Stardew Valley stream without saying anything else. Politely says goodbye.
Cinder: Leads other players to their deaths to loot their bodies, abusively manipulates other players to turn on each other, somehow manages to burn down the villagers in Animal Crossing, and tricks Finland into delcaring war on the Island of Mauritius on livestream.
Neo: Ren + Cinder.
Neon Cat: Most annoying anime reviewer ever. And yet I would be surprisingly open to it.
Watts: Pretends to play a video game while actually hacking the computers of all his viewers (all three of them) and stealing their credit card numbers. Hacks the game to make his skills appear amazing and talks about his own achievements. Because, you know, his ego.
Fox: Literally fighting blind in Smash Bros yet manages to win every match while cracking jokes.
Coco: Queen of Sims. Supersonic princess of Mario Karts. Influencer paragon of VTubers. Scarlet's rival.
Scarlet: King of Sims. Supersonic prince of Sonic Racing. Influencer paragon of VTubers. Coco's rival.
Velvet: Best teammate ever.
Qrow: Worst teammate ever. Livestreams a DnD game. His companions only roll nat 1s. Qrow is abandoned and is yet somehow able to beat the campaign by himself while drunk.
Yatsu: Ren + Juane.
Sun: Abandons all of his teammates in the middle of a quest to go chase after something shiny. All of his teammates die.
Neptune: Acts cool except on water levels.
Ooblek: Speedruns games based on historical events while spouting off how they are all inaccurate.
Port: Somehow manages to make Monster Hunter boring (although truthfully, I don't like violent games like Monster Hunter).
Oscar: Awkward, yet deeply profound, commentaries on anime. Surprisingly knowledable about farming games.
Penny: Lovable goofball capable of breaking speed run records and everyone's hearts.
I realized while writing this that I based most of these on their earlier character traits. Probably because RWBY characters are easier to stereotype earlier in their stories before they gain complexity and development (an intentional decision by CRWBY and a reason why RWBY has such phenomenal character arcs). Idk, what do you all think?

i think the "it's rotten work. not to me, not if it's you" quote feels different when you're disabled or neurodivergent or ill in some way. in some translations we get the context that Orestes is specifically worried that it's disgusting or unpleasant to touch someone who's sick.
Philip Vellacott (1972)
David Kovacs (2002)
Orestes, even when talking to someone so close to him, cant help but feel like a weight to those who love him. he sees himself as disgusting, revolting to look at or to touch. a burden to be taken care of.
and while in many translations Pylades replies with "Not for me", in some he also just reaffirms he will do it.
William Arrowsmith (1958)
Kenneth McLeish (1997)
Pylades doesn't care whether the task is hard, unpleasant. I'll do it. he cares for Orestes and he will take care of him regardless of how difficult it might be. what Pylades is saying with Not for me, not if it's you, is that even if Orestes feels like a burden himself, Pylades doesn't see taking care of him as a burden, and even if it is, he will do it anyway. because he loves him no matter what.
not to me if its you because i want to take care of you. because its you. because i care about you. because i want to do it for you.
