What's funny about this is that its Jaune saying this shit.

The one character who always gets the spotlight, who always gets the emotional payoff, who the show is always about.

It's always about you applies far more to Jaune than it ever has to Ruby, because Ruby is one of the characters who it's never about. She is always getting her trauma glossed over, she is always just expected to be a springboard for others to develop off, she is always just meant to be the simple soul who leads everyone out of the darkness and every time we start to get something more interesting, it gets immediately sniped.

In this volume alone, we had Ruby's trauma and big breakdown commandeered by Jaune so that he can yet again be sad other his failures and people dying on him. Penny's death was all about Jaune, with Ruby being shoved in the background to just mourn quietly or get yelled at for not being on her top form at all times.

This is why I didn't want Jaune anywhere NEAR the Ever After, because he's a fucking black hole who just sucks everything away from the main team that are meant to be the MAIN characters.

Why couldn't we have Weiss and Ruby actually mourn the deaths of their kingdom/friend? Why couldn't we have Yang and Blake be something more than useless ship bait? Why couldn't the big breakdown stay on Ruby?

Oh wait, because Jaune needs his fifteen minutes of fame every goddamn volume. There hasn't been a single volume apart from V7 where Jaune stays in the background and lets the others have their moments.

Is Jaune worthy of something? I can´t fully understand all the love he receives from fandom. Is a little sickening being unable to search any other character without seeing at least one thing about jaune.

Take my word with a grain of salt, because I am heavily biased.

I really do not like Jaune. I used to not care about him and his team in the beginning of RWBY, when they were just the b-team that filled the background, but now he's been taking protag status after V3. Definitely at the end of V3 when Pyrrha died, it was mostly Jaune who was emotionally damaged by it. Ruby was right there, witnessing her being turned to dust by Cinder, and she has never once shown how it damaged her.

What makes Jaune so important is that he was the love interest of Pyrrha, the almost-Fall Maiden. As the show says, Maidens are incredibly important keys to the world's survival, and Jaune is one of our guys that happened to be in love with one. Everybody loves Pyrrha - including me - so in a way, Jaune could be that extension to her that the fans hang onto. The show feeds into that as well, what with that hideous statue of Pyrrha standing in the small city in V6, and how Jaune has to let her go instead of mourning all the time.

Jaune feels more human, in a way, because of that.

Ruby never shows that she's hurt, which feels very inhuman. It's not even her trying to cover up her woes with a smile. Ruby is just written horribly shallow and drained of emotion, that even Penny's return was brushed off by her. Ruby's writing makes her feel as if she will instantly forget her dead friends and have no reaction if she sees them again.

Meanwhile, Jaune is humanized to show that he cared for Pyrrha. Granted, he and Penny never spoke once to each other when they got to Atlas, and yet he was the one bestowed the ultimate choice of murdering Penny at the end of V8. Ruby was just tossed into the abyss, right in the middle of fighting Cinder and Neo. Her fall was so quick and dampened by Neo and Cinder's last confrontation that I even forget she was there.

I do believe that, even if fans want to feel as if Ruby matters, it's proven that she's a nothing asset to her own show. Trying to make Ruby matter feels like a pathetic attempt. It's like trying to make an established NPC the protag, but that NPC has literally nothing to show for it and has the personality of a rock, but has this one superpower that nobody else has.

To me, Jaune feels like he's the void that the writers couldn't fill with Ruby. As I've said, he's been humanized throughout the show, from beginning to now. He's remained pretty consistent and his growth has always felt genuine. People can relate to losers like Jaune, and people can relate to trying to move on from losing a loved one. People can relate to having a big family, a dorky voice, and wanting to prove that they're worthy of the journey. Jaune is all those things.

Not only Jaune but his team helped hold up the emotional labor. Ruby has become so shallow that even her team feels like they're just there. Nora and Ren, and Oscar, have to pull their weight in character moments: struggles, anguish, letting go of somebody you love, frustrations, and surviving. All things that are human.

In a way, I can see why this makes Jaune much more appealing, and why he'd have so many fans. Hell, it makes sense as to why so much fanart insists on him being the main character of a harem anime.

Why I don't like Jaune is because he's hogging the spotlight. I mean sure, Team RWBY are garbage characters. However, this is their show. I want to see the girls be humanized just like Team ORNJ. I want to see them be the main characters for once.

But no. He's got to be the one getting the attention, because after all these years, it feels a little too late to fix what they didn't do right for Team RWBY, so they've no choice but to keep relying on Team ORNJ and then throw in some new characters to distract us from the overtly painful fact that Team RWBY has nothing to offer.

We all heard the news today about RT and RWBY. I won't stop loving these 4 girls and stay tuned for good new in the future~ Thank you for 10 years of RWBY <3

“Rooster Teeth had a lot of issues as evidenced by the allegations past employees have come forward with” and “Warner Bros is fucking evil for axing an entire company and letting some of its employees find out via tweet” are statements that can and should coexist.

Like. It’s not some gotcha that RT is shutting down. It’s not some vindictive justice that this Big Bad Company is gone now. Projects are now canceled. People will be fired from their jobs. And because it’s Warner Bros. it’s only a matter of time before all those animation projects (RvB, RWBY, Camp Camp, every single episode of anything they made) is scrubbed off of the internet.

It’s gonna be the same thing that happened with HBO Max. It’s gonna be the same thing with the Coyote vs. Acme movie and Batgirl.

RT going down is not the thing you should be lording over people. RT going down should not be some ammo for your “RWBY is mid” takes. RT going down is not some “I always knew it was cringe” meme. Real people are gonna be effected by this. People will lose this jobs and will lose all the passion projects they worked on.

This is horrifying for the people involved in these projects and the state of animation itself. Warner Bros. only owned Rooster Teeth for 2 years. They bought them in 2022. Not even 2 full years. They didn’t even get a chance and they axed THE ENTIRE COMPANY. NOT JUST ONE SHOW. THE ENTIRE FUCKING COMPANY AND ALL ITS IPS. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THIS IS NOT THR TIME FOR A FAN WAR.

After many years of being a RWBY fan, it was brought to my attention by my friends that I’ve never actually looked into the plethora of ships that comes with being a RWBY fan. All this time I’ve just been super happy to just consume RWBY content without really thinking about all the different types of ships, and what I would feel as if you were if I saw some of them so I after that conversation, I decided to make a tier list of ships, some of them, romantic some of them platonic some I think would be a cute idea you get the gist I just want to preface with this is no hate to people that ship different things than I do. these are just my personal thoughts on all the different types of ships that go on in this crazy show.

Something that I’ve noticed during my yearly rewatch of RWBY definitely has to be the difference between Winter’s eyebrows vs the rest of the Schnee family. Before we knew Jacques had black hair when he was younger it always used to confuse me why hers wasn’t white like Weiss’s, and I came up with a headcanon that she dyed them just to make sense of the difference. Now, however, her black eyebrows make sense compared to her siblings. In addition to that, she and Whitley both have more traits of his than Weiss which would be an interesting point to do something with if CRWBY spent time caring about the Schnee family dynamics and what drives them but I highly doubt they'll do anything with that

Monochrome is some good shit, but how about some Yang/Winter kissing? Like in the morning where Winter is wearing a robe and Yang sneaks a quick kiss on her which she returns.
