#Oh my god team RWBY in their 30s

[reashot]

Sorry it take this long, but Anon requested to see Christmas themed Lancaster and by God they're going to get one:

Under the Mistletoe 💏

To celebrate Christmas. Both team RWBY and JNPR decide to have a get-together and for the venue they decides to have it in JNPR dorm room.

Yang: Let's start this party with a Yang!

Everyone: Yang!

Pyrrha: Wow Yang! How do you get all this stuffs for the Christmas party?

Yang: Well. Let's just say it's a donation from an anonymous donor...

Cuts into Junior's club.

A gruesome scene unfolds inside of a nightclub. Bodies of suit wearing mooks littered the dance floor and their Boss, Junior can be seen sitting in the counter nursing his wounds by pouring himself a stiff one.

Goon: Boss... Why the heck do that blonde beast came here and stole our stuffs?

Junior: Shut up...

Back in JNPR dorm room.

Yang: Anyway... How about a drink? Non alcoholic of course.

Pyrrha: I'll take two. Thank you.

While bringing two drinks across the room Pyrrha passes many of the friends she made in Beacon.

Nora: Ren-ren let's dance!

Ren: Sure Nora.

Weiss: So, Blake... How is it like being a Faunus?

Blake: How is it like being me?

Weiss: Look! I'm trying to strike a conversation, okay? And it's hard when you know I said something to you that can't be taken back.

Blake: I know that Weiss. Baby step, okay.

Weiss: Baby step.

Ruby: Jaune did you watch _syberSamurai last stream? 😁

Jaune: I did, Ruby. Man she almost lost the match 4-1 but in the last minutes she turned it around and ended up winning against impossible odd.

Ruby: Ikr. She's so awesome. 😆

Pyrrha: Hmm. What are you two talking about?

Jaune: Oh. Pyrrha. We're just talking about video games. That's all.

Pyrrha: ... I see. Oh and Jaune I brought a drink for you.

Jaune: Oh thank you Pyrrha... *Walked just few centi away to be perfectly below the mistletoe*

Yang: Ah! Both Vomit Boy and P-Money are under the mistletoe so according to the rule they must kiss.

Pyrrha: Wow. Do you want to kiss me Jaune?

Jaune: Is that even a question? Of course.

Both Jaune and Pyrrha kiss to the cheers and approval of everyone watching. Everyone except for Ruby who sees it differently.

Ruby:

Yang: Woohoo! 30 second kiss. That's your longest one to date. And don't think I didn't see you slipping your tongue there Pyrrha. You horny fox. You.

Ruby: Give me a drink Yang!!! 😫

Yang: Eh, sure. *pours one out for her little sister*

Ruby: Another! 😠

Yang: K. *pours another*

Ruby: More! 😡

Yang: Ruby this is Non-Alcoholic. You can't get drunk from this.

Ruby: Maybe I just like to drink! You ever think about that? 🤬

Yang: Rubs... If you are upset about something you can tell me all about it. I'm your big sister after all.

Ruby: I don't want to talk about it... 😢

Yang: It's about Jaune kissing Pyrrha isn't it?

Ruby: Why don't he like me? I also want to kiss him using my tongue too. 😭

Yang: Oh Ruby... Tell you what go up to him right now and I'll help you out.

Ruby: How? 😞

Yang: Look just trust your sister, okay.

Ruby: He-hey Jaune... How's it hanging. 😟

Jaune: What is it Ruby. Do you want to talk more about other stuffs?

Ruby: Uh... Uhm... Eh... I mean. I want to... 😵

Unbeknownst to the two of them. A mistletoe silently glides above them and landing perfectly above the two dorks's head. The mistletoe is being guided by Yang by using a long stick. No doubt she prepares them beforehand for some sort of prank.

Yang: Oh no, a mistletoe somehow got above Jaune and Ruby. How did that happened? Tee-hee. Anyway you know the rules and so do I.

Ruby: C-can I kiss you too Jaune?

Jaune: R-Ruby I...

Pyrrha: Go for it Jaune.

Nora: Yeah! Go for it!

Blake: (Oh Brothers they're going to do it. Finally.)

Jaune: Okay here goes...

Ruby: 😚

Jaune : There Ruby, how do you like it?

Ruby: 😶

Jaune: Ruby?

Ruby suddenly tackles Jaune to his bed. And proceeds to mount him. The suddennes took everyone by surprise.

Jaune: Ruby what's gotten into you?

Ruby: 🥵🥵🥵 Everyone! Please evacuate to a safe six miles radius. Or else will I not be responsible for what will happen next 🥵🥵🥵

Jaune: Eep!

Yang: Ah hell nah! I'm still way too hot and sexy to be an aunt.

Thoughts During RWBY V9x10 Of Solitude and Self

AHHHHHH! Man can’t believe it’s already here! Let’s get started!

ITS 26 MINUTES!??!?!

More Summer!  And wow that’s such a pretty illustration!

Oh wow, we’re actually getting a lot more.... I feel a gut punch coming.

RAVEN!!!! OH MY GOD WORST MOM HOW ARE YOU!??!? I’VE MISSED YOU!!!! Finally some hint into their dynamic! So Raven knew what Summer was doing?

And Ruby is seeing all of this.... Ruby baby....

Oh hey! Alyx gets a voice! It’s a hallucination created by Herb seemingly but still this is cool. Sounds a little like Anairis...

Oh! Neo’s free!

OH MAN FINAL BOSS FORM!!

There went Jaune’s aura!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The reaction my body just had to hearing the first notes of Red Like Roses! Chills and excitement just rushed through me in one fell swoop!

OH MY GOD THAT SHOT!

TEAM RWBY WHOLE AND FIGHTING TOGETHER AGAIN!!!! NOW I JUST NEED MY TEARY MESS OF A REUNION!!! ....After the fight I mean! 

Ok...well... Does it still count if it’s Neo’s illusion of a Jabberwalker that does it?

So... Are we leaving her here or taking her with us? Let’s see how they play this... I mean... Neo just did some seriously messed up stuff. I don’t see redemption on the table but....

Okay... I can live with this. Neo working on her own metamorphosis... And maybe she’ll be able to come back to Remnant on her own terms. And ... maybe do a out of nowhere save to help and kick Cinder’s butt when she does. Who knows.

...

...

I’M NOT ABOUT TO CRY OVER A MOUSE! I’M NOT ABOUT TO CRY OVER SOMEWHAT! FRICK ME.... PLEASE COME WITH US! I DON’T CARE IF IT BREAKS RULES!

Hello again Blacksmith!

Oh wow. I wasn’t expecting actually extended Brothers lore.

So the Cat and Jabberwalker came about because the Brothers were too lazy to do their own jobs. Wow, what assholes.

“One small kindness, in one small moment, led to such a marvelous transformation.” I’M NOT CRYING! ......(cries for the second time)

Oh.... so he turns back.... Huh. Yeah... not sure how I feel about that. It’s still a 30 something year old mind in there....

And just like that.... we’re in Vacuo.... Oh and look! There’s Amity! Pietro and Maria made it! Lots of ships milling about too...

It’s just the credits WHY AM I CRYING AGAIN!!?!? I’m gonna let them play while I gather myself. Good grief.

Inside. Chatterbox. Trapdoor. Guide My Way (Red Like Roses pt 3), Checkmate, Worthy (BMBLB pt 2), Quiet, The Edge. Phenomenal job Casey! Martin! The whole music team should be so proud! Everything sounded amazing!

Alright, no after credits scene, just an ad for the RWBY x JL stuff. Ok then.

....

....

Man guys.... What a good volume. I just.... This was such a needed volume, good god. There’s so much I want to say about it but for now I’m just going to stick with Thank You CRWBY! All of you! You guys worked really hard on this and it shows! You probably won’t see this but thank you for always giving us your best and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next time! See ya’ll for V10.

31 and team RWBY?

“How do we keep getting into these situations?” Blake asks groggily. “Eleven years of friendship, and I still don’t know.” Weiss replies flatly, rolling her eyes skyward. Or rather, towards the ground. She's got blood rushing to her head, the ropes tying her to Blake's body digging into the tops of her shoulders. They're swaying upside down in a cavern echoing with water droplets. Lichen crawls over the slick walls, sunlight streaking through a gap in the rock. A group of mercenaries prowl around beneath them, twenty feet from their heads. Not the White Fang - the Fang are long gone. Either scattered or absorbed under the command of Blake's father. No, Weiss has no idea who these clowns are, and she's certain they don't know who they've captured. If they did, maybe they'd be less inclined to leave them unsupervised. Blake's ears flick against the back of Weiss' head as she wakes, a low groan filtering under her breath. "Fuck, I feel like I headbutted a boarbatusk," Blake grunts, shifting her shoulders. Weiss snorts, commenting quietly, "A boarbatusk would've been softer." "What happened?" "We were shopping in Mistral's marketplace and someone thought we looked expensive, is my best guess. My memory is, admittedly, a little fuzzy." "Points to them for being right I suppose." Weiss knocks the back of her head into Blake's head, growling, "You always choose the worst times for your jokes, you know that?" Blake huffs a laugh that ripples through the ropes holding them. "Consequences of association." "Yang is a plague of horrible jokes and timing. I'm ashamed you've fallen into her ilk." Blake's reply is all butter and satisfaction. "I'm not." Weiss fakes a gag, wiggling in their binds on a suffering groan. "Spare me. Please." "You always run away when I try to talk to you about this shit. I might as well take the opportunity to torture you, since we're just hanging." Weiss' struggling intensifies. "Blake Belladonna I will personally shove wet moss into your 'fun' drawer if you speak another word!" Blake's laughter grows loud enough to echo. "Priss. You'd have a 'fun' drawer too if you ever decided to live a little." "You shut your mouth!" Weiss says in a strangled shriek. She angles her chin up, calling down to the mercenaries stopped beneath them and staring. "Guard, I need a separate rope to dangle from. She's driving me insane." The mercenaries give her a flat look that rapidly changes into alarm as an explosion rocks the entire cave. Weiss and Blake swing precariously close to a wall with a collective yelp. "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY GIRLFRIEND!" Comes a dark roar cracking off the cavern walls. Weiss tilts her head back to stare at a corner of the cave with mercenaries bolting from it as if their lives were at stake. Weiss can only think of how heavy her forehead feels with the weight of the blood in her body. Blake hums behind her, a smile in her voice. "Oh, I love it when she's protective." "Is that why you haven't gotten out of these toddler knots yet?" Weiss snarks with a huff. She yelps, flinching away as much as she can from a playful prod in her ribs. She attempts to shoot a sour glare over her shoulder but her neck doesn't bend that far, hissing, "You are a menace!" Blake just laughs, and the cave rocks again. They sway to the left this time, their auras fluctuating as Blake takes the brunt of their swing into the wall. Weiss spots a tornado of red and petals bursting through the mercenaries, followed by a streak of gold fire. Within moments the entire cavern is filled with groaning bodies. Ruby appears right below them, her silver eyes turned skyward to them. She sets the knife of Crescent Rose into the rock, tilting her head in a way that shifts her entire windswept fauxhawk to one side. "Are you guys okay?" She calls, her other hand set on her hip. The ropes go slack from Weiss' side before she can respond. She shrieks as her body slips through the ropes, plummeting only a few feet before she throws a glyph out to catch herself. She lands on the platform of runes with a whump, Blake’s laughter coming from above her.  Weiss sits up, raking her shoulder length locks out of her face with indignation. She points to Blake dangling from the rope they were tied with, her eyes narrowed. “I’m going to put salt in your tea for the next year.” “You would never, you love our tea times too much,” Blake grins. Black ribbons of her hair come loose from the small bun between her ears. A large scar sits across her flat nose, crinkling in the free smile she gives.  There’s a flutter of cloth by Weiss’ ear and her body shifts to the right automatically. Ruby flops down onto the glyph beside Weiss, red petals shedding from her hair and clothes. She bumps Weiss’ shoulder with a bright grin, only slightly breathless. “Did you let yourselves get caught again?” Weiss huffs, crossing her arms as she watches Yang make her way over to them. “Hardly. They took us by surprise.” Yang calls to them, the last of the flames evaporating from her hair. “What were you two doing? Must’ve been important.” Weiss stiffens, her eyes widening. She starts patting her clothes frantically. “Wait -” Blake drops down to them, landing on the crowded glyph just between Weiss’ legs. “Yang, catch.” She clasps her hand to Weiss’ and winks, abruptly falling backwards off the edge.  Ruby gives out a delighted laugh at the same time as her sister, Yang’s hair erupting in flames once more as she leaps. Blake is caught up in Yang’s arms halfway down, the pair landing and nearly stumbling on an unconscious mercenary. Weiss watches them laugh at each other and kiss between the gaps of her semblance, her heartbeat settling at the familiar weight in her hand. Until she feels a bump at her shoulder. Curious silver eyes peer at her hand, her lips pursed in a pout. “So what’d you get?” Weiss bites at her lip, feeling the metal in her palm as it scrapes over her callouses.  She pockets it, smiling at her best friend and partner disarmingly. “Maybe later.” Ruby’s eyes widen at the playful glint in her eyes, heartbeats before the glyph disappears beneath them. They both dissolve into pink and white petals, an echo of Weiss’ laugh left to clatter off the walls. Some things take time to decide, Weiss knows. But at least there is longevity in friendships like theirs.

An Opportunity Has Arrive (Christmas Special Part 2)

It's Christmas! It's time for children around the world to go to the Christmas tree and open their presents that Santa gave them. In the case of the RWBY team and company, it is time to exchange gifts. Secret Santa to be exact.

Ruby: Yes! A big jar full of cookies! Thank you Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: *Wearing a red scarf that Weiss gave her for Secret Santa* Your welcome

Ruby: Ok, so now is my turn. The person I have is mysterious-

Yang: Blake

Ruby: Is not! She likes to dress in black-

Weiss: It's definitely blake

Ruby: I'm not done yet! And she likes to read books.

Nora: Sooo Blake

Ruby: *Upset* Yes, it's Blake. Here *Gives the present to blake *

Blake: *Open the present and smile* A purple ribbon, thank you ruby.

Ruby: No problem.

Blake: Ok so my secret Santa is somebody nice…

Blake: Strong…

Blake: *Blushing* And has a Big…

Blake: *Seductively* Huge…

Blake: *A bit of drool coming out of her mouth* A massive…

Blake: *She gets serious instantly* Heart. Jaune, Merry Christmas. *She gives the gift to him*

Yang: Holy crap, Blake! For a second I thought you were talking about something else.

Weiss: Yeah like you're talking about "That"

Blake: *Smiling* What is “That” exactly?

Weiss: *Blushing* Well, you know?

Yang: *Smiles* Oh, I see what you're doing. Good one blake. *Looks at Jaune* What did you get, lover boy?

Jaune was white as a ghost and the present intact.

Ruby: Jaune are you ok?

Jaune: (Holy shit! I thought Blake was going to tell them my secret) I'm fine. I just remembered one of those random depressing memories that you try to forget but they always keep coming back

Ruby: *Worry* Okay, let's put that aside and tell us what Blake brought you.

Jaune opens the box and inside is an "X-ray and a Vav" comic.

Jaune: Awesome! Thank you Blake.

Blake: *Smiles* No problem.

Jaune: So I'm next, the person I have is Ener-

Nora: *Takes the present away* Its me! I saw that you got me. *Opens the present* Oh mi god! A sloth plushy! I love it.

They continue to give each other gifts. During that moment, Blake catches Jaune's attention and gestures for him to open the book. Inside is a note that reads, “Come to my rooms after Secret Santa is over, I have a present for you ~ Love Winter, PS. Bring Blake with you.” Jaune looks up to look at Blake and she winks at him.

Jaune: *Blushing* (Best Christmas ever)

Part 2 @darkvaga ------------------- *3hrs later*

Jaune: *panting*....haa......haa.....best...christmas......ever...

Blake: *grinning at winter* told you he'll like it

Winter: Indeed.....*laying on his chest* this was the best gift I've ever received

Jaune:..So....should we....get going before anyone gets suspicious?

Blake: Don't worry........we made sure no one will interrupt us

Jaune:.....Ren & Nora?

Winter & Blake: Ren & Nora....

Jaune: Ok.....no questions asked.....so...wanna just lay here for a while?

Blake and Winter: *purring*/ yes please

*30 min pass*

Winter: Hey jaune....blake

Jaune & Blake: yeah?/ hmm

Winter:....What's that smell.....is something burning

Blake:....Yeah.....i smell it too, what about you jaune?...........jaune?

Jaune: *eyes widen*.....oh OUM, NORA WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Nora:.......RUBY DID IT!

Ruby: HEY!

Jaune: *sighing*....unfortunately, i have to take care of this. Don't worry *kisses both women passionately* I'll be b ack soon *smiles warmly*

Jaune puts his clothes back on & rushes out the door

Blake: *Turning to winter* You know I never thought I'd be sharing with a Schnee

Winter: Well I feel the same way with you Belladonna

Blake: *Dawning a look of determination* I guess this only solidifies our family rivalry

Winter: *Sharing the same look* Indeed it does belladonna.....indeed it does

Both women hear jaune screaming

Jaune: HOW DID NORA OPEN A PORTAL TO ANOTHER UNIVERSE!

Ren: WE DONT KNOW! SHE DIDN'T DRINK ANY COFFEE THIS TIME!

Winter & Blake:..........

Winter: Is always this chaotic?

Blake:....You have no idea....

🎶Is the most wonderful time of the year🎶

Yang: Blake…I have something to give to you. When I saw it, I immediately thought of you, and I just had to get it for you.

Blake: Aww, Yang, that’s so sweet!

Yang, grinning: So close your eyes and hold out your hand.

Blake, doing so: Okay.

Yang: Okay, open them!

Blake: *opens their eyes and is now holding a bumper sticker that reads “women want me, fish fear me”*

Yang: I found it at 7-Eleven!

Blake: Yang…

Yang: It fits you perfectly, right?

Blake: *sniff* Y-Yang…

Yang, concerned: What’s wrong?

Blake: You… *suddenly hugs her* You know me so well!

Yang: I know, right?!

Blake, reading their book in peace: ...

Yang, walking in: Hey Blake, want some tea? *hands them a cup*

Blake: Oh, thank you.

Yang: Anything for you~ I’ll leave you to your reading.

Blake, smiling as Yang leaves: That was sweet. *sips tea*

Later, at the library...

Weiss, sitting across from Blake, watching them read: You know what? Here. *slides a pillow over to Blake* So you have something more comfortable to rest your book on.

Blake, smiling: Is this specifically made for reading? *rests their book on it* It’s perfect, thank you so much!

Weiss: It’s no big deal, just thought you could do with a little more comfort when you’re relaxing with a book~

Blake, blushing: Thank you.

Later, in their dorm...

Ruby: Hey Blake! Whatcha reading?

Blake: The sequel to that book I lent you, Sacrifices For Solace?

Ruby: Oh yeah! I maaayyy have already read that one. Wanna talk about it when you’re done? I know you really like talking about books with me.

Blake, smiling: I would love to.

Ruby: Awesome! Oh, and here’s this. *hands them an envelope*

Blake: What is it?

Ruby, beaming: It’s from your team. *waving as she leaves* Enjoy your book!

Blake, waving and then opening the letter and reading it:

Blake,

We know how stressful school stuff and missions can be sometimes, and you don’t get very much time to be alone and read anymore, so for your birthday, we thought we’d let you have a nice long day to yourself to read and relax. We have more gifts to give you, but that can come later. For now, enjoy the peace and quiet, and maybe take a nap for once in your life, too!

We love you ❤️ Happy Birthday!

- Ruby, Weiss, and Yang

Blake, smiling and wiping a tear from their face: Oh my gods...what did I do to deserve my team? *sets the letter aside and attempts to return to reading, but can’t stop smiling* Okay, I know you three are out there.

Yang, poking her head into the room along with Ruby and Weiss: How’d you know?

Blake, standing from their bed: I could hear your giggling, now come here. *runs over and hugs all three of them* Thank you all so much. I love you three.

Ruby, giggling: We love you too!

Weiss, sinking into Blake’s embrace: Love you so much, Blake.

Yang, kissing Blake’s forehead: Happy birthday, love you too~

[coweggomelet]

i apparently enjoy putting down my thoughts on the off chance someone will read it and enjoy it so here’s rwby rewatch vol 3. i’m ready to be sad!!

(note: it’s long i’m sorry, i have many thoughts and i tried to narrow it down but oh boy do i think im funny)

- the SOUND DESIGN. AGAIN

- ruby you’re so precious. so sweet. so eager. so earnest. c’mere and i’ll protect you from all the bad shit that happens to you later

- hi cardboard cutout tai

- i keep getting an ad for a rooster teeth show called camp betrayal and the way this man says “hoo hoo hoo” will haunt me for the rest of time

- oh shit the fact that it’s called amity has such insane implications for what it’s used for later. jesus.

- “bffs!” “No.” “…/yessss/” love them

- yeet the yang

- god ruby’s admiration of emerald is so sad in retrospect like… oh boy ruby you’re in for it

- PYRRHAAAAA I LOVE YOU DONT LEAVE ME

- “even if you know how a story ends, that doesn’t make it any less fun to watch” wow cinder are you psychic

- ummmm they’re having a talk can you please respect their privacy

- thor whomst??? i only know nora valkyrie

- BROODY MAN

- hiiiii gavin

- so much mid battle banter. in the middle of a big important fight they just have to make jokes and argue. i love teenagers

- SILENCE YOU BOOB

- awww winter you’re a disaster and you’re horribly emotionally repressed because of your bitch ass dad but jesus christ you care about your little sister and you wanna know she’s doing okay and i’m emotional about it

- PENNYYYYY my love just keep being you

- jeez i forgot how early on ironwood was talking his shit about being “someone who will act”, the “only person” who will do what needs to be done, as if his course of action is what needs to be done

- every single person who underestimates emerald and mercury gets so fucked up. like so many people look at these youngerish teenagers with some funny one liners and banter and go “oh they seem capable and they’re confident and funny so i like em but i can take em” and then absolutely get the shit kicked out of them. and i think that’s why they’ve been so successful, cause nobody takes them seriously enough to consider them a threat.

- see this is why i love rwby. coco just turned her handbag into a gatling gun and cut down a field of grass with it

- god the way they hint at emerald’s semblance before fully showing what it is. *chef’s kiss*

- winter marry me

- we love an uncle who absolutely destroys his nieces at video games

- “they do and they’re called silver!” ruby i love you

- top heavy. heheh

- this dude’s weapon is a trumpet!! she’s got glowing nunchucks!! i love this show!!

- this battle music is AMAZING what the FUCK they’re fighting to JAZZ

- cinder if you keep having vague ominous dialogue people are gonna get the wrong idea

- oh yeah great idea asking a child to take on immense power which sends her into a stressed out panicky spiral and alienates her from the people she finally feels legitimately connected to and for once didn’t feel alienated from

- oh fuck. oh fuck the finals. oh god. oh no.

- she’s so happy. she’s so ready to have a good fight. i’m gonna cry

- FUCK

- and with one moment, the entire show flipped on its head

- god when i watched that the first time i fuckin freaked. i was not prepared man. i was warned. but i was not prepared for this much of a fucking tone change man. that quickly. like tone changes (in my experience) normally happen gradually, but this one happened in, what? 30 seconds?

- fuck

- god this is so bad

- and it GETS WORSE i can’t do this

- love that we can see yang’s distraught eyebrows through her bangs

- after this episode was the first time my friend asked me “how we doing buddy?” and i’ve only wanted to kill her more since then

- oh god emerald’s backstory. this poor child. she was so alone and cinder was there and said i can give you a place i can give you a purpose i can give you security and emerald latched on so hard.

- hiiiii laura bailey i wish you had more than a lil baby line and some sounds of effort

- god that little anklet

- god what a fuckin backstory episode man. backstory? evil plan explanation? idk but it was good

- great parent move. telling your kid you’ll only save them once.

- jaune you sweet good boy. what a good boy. i love him

- god this poor child. she doesn’t deserve this. FUCK i’m so sad. is that the last conversation they have?

- oooooh shit this song is so good. what the fuck i have chills it’s so fitting

- god everyone else is so happy and excited and then there’s ruby who is one of the very few people who knows how bad a fight between penny and pyrrha could be and pyrrha who’s got to decide if she wants someone else’s aura smushed with hers, which could turn her into a different person. FUCK

- peeeennyyyyy “salutations!! it’s an honor to meet you!” it huuuurts

- it makes me so sad but damn was this a good diabolical plan

- god im so sad. penny is so good. and pyrrha’s fuckin eyes. and ruby just collapsing. jesus christ. it’s all fuckin falling apart

- oh fuck here we go. those klaxons are so terrifying

- it makes me so happy that torchwick gets rescued and then like maybe a couple episodes later just gets swallowed

- the fuckin adam fight is coming up too. jesus. really piling on here

- RUBY IS USING ONE OF PENNY’S SWORDS IM GONNA CRYYY

- and she doesn’t even hesitate to save pyrrha

- the one and only time (to my memory) that ironwood is gentle is when he says no one would blame the students if they left. that might be the last time he actually remembers that they’re all teenagers and feels sympathy for these children with all this pressure on them

- oh yeah the big boy

- the first time i watched this i was LOSING MY MIND this whole time. like yang attacked mercury and from then on man. just freaking out.

- eurgh grimm juice

- c’mon blake you got this. i mean. technically you don’t. the fight goes poorly. but you fuckin try and you’re so brave about it and i love youuu

- shut the FUCK up adam you GROOMED her you ASSHOLE

- aahhhh i love velvet!!! her semblance and her whole fighting style is so goddamn cool and has such interesting implications for using weapons and powers of people who are dead

- OH SHIT SHE DOES SUMMON HERE DOESNT SHE. partly but still

- get fucked, torchwick. GET FUCKED. get fuckin chomped

- a backhanded slap feels so much more violent than any fighting with weapons

- uh oh evil katniss

- god. the fucking blood splatter turning the whole shot red. just their silhouettes. the slow motion. the arm slowly separating.

- my friend was also a big fan of “how we feeling?”

- bad. the answer is bad you fuckin sadist

- oz is… a lot of things, and one of them is a goddamn good fighter

- oh god oh noooo she’s gonna kiss & yeet AWWWW FUCK this is heartbreaking

- pyrrha i love you

- if i don’t look it’s not real

- oh pyrrha my love

- awww hey tai. what a good dad. love tai

- i’m so sad. everyone’s so sad. and then salem just has to do an ominous lil monologue where she lays out her whole plan to divide them and makes a fuckin semblance pun. she’s such a good villain

- jacque you stiff bitch

- they’re all fuckin scattered and depressed

- love team rnjr tho

- there she is. god what an ending

[fanfictionsrookie]

RWBY VOL 8 EPISODE 1

FUCK YOU RT! FUCK YOU! YOU CAN’T BE LETTING ME GO DRY FOR EIGHT YEARS AND THEN SLAP THIS ON THE FIST EP! I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK. THE AMOUNT OF FANGIRLING I EXPERIENCE ALMOST KILLED ME! BUT THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT, RIGHT? YOU WANT TO KILL ME WIITH THE CINDER FEELS. WELL I’M HERE FOR IT XD

It’s difficult to guess what exactly Cinder’s background is from this. But by her hands alone you can tell that she is working nonstop. Nice little detail. Those pigtails are adorable though.

It does make me wonder how prelevant these memories are, what triggers them, and if Cinder even realised she was doing this while experiencing that memory.

Neo being rightfully afraid. I’m scared for her at this point.

And even Cinder is afraid. She knows she messed up and she’s mentally preparing for the repercussions. Of course, she easily slips on that calm facade of hers, which honestly confirms it to me that her attitude in vol 1 to 3 was just a farce and her way of trying to be like Salem.

Salem looks genuinely surprised in this shot. She didn’t think Cinder would be able to get it in the first place...

...granted it was Neo. While Neo has every right to be upset, her being there is entirely dependent on Cinder’s usefulness.

THIS LOOK! This and the shot thereafter, just confirms that Neo and Cinder did have a form of companionship between them, that in Neo’s eyes, they were equal. But what Neo doesn’t understand is that Cinder can’t admit or tell Salem that. Cinder refers to Neo as an asset, because it is the way Cinder can protect Neo from Salem and keep her around.

These outfits where definitely worth the wait. I love Emerald’s outfit but Mercury looks fine AF XD

Poor Emerald. While I kind of expected that kind of retort from Cinder, I have a feeling their interactions will be different with no one looking. Excited for it. Also, can be talk about how JACKED Hazel is? And that outfit... I’m sorry, I don’t know how to feel about it.

Well, what IS Salem’s plan for Cinder? Surely it can’t be just to hang back? Although that time alone is bound to bring up repressed memories.

She looks so disappointed in this shot. Like this power isn’t just something she wants, but something Cinder genuinely thinks she NEEDS.

That’s awesome. You can see Alas’ forcefield up already. Salem, biding her time until it’s destroyed.

So this shot has an entirely different context. Salem is not making her say it to reaffirm loyalty. Cinder is doing it out of her own will, to convince Salem of that. Perhaps to convince herself as well.

And it worked! Salem is 100 percent convinced Cinder is still under her thumb and she is reveling in it. Now I’m wondering who’s really manipulating who.

HIS BEAR HANDS! I’M SORRY I HAD TO!

Nawww baby! Such a soft moment.

Heh Six Swans Vodka.

I know it’s for narrative purposes. Like there is no time to unpack Ozpin returning in this episode as well. But still, keeping secrets is not the best decision right now.

I don’t think I’ve seen Ruby this angry and annoyed at any of her teammates, especially not Yang. As much as I dread it, I’m still exited to see how at odds Ruby is gonna become with everyone else.

I love how they cut between the current scene and future through the dialogue, really compacted everything nicely in terms of pace.

Heh the poster in the back. Rumpel Stilkskin.

The fact that Penny suggested giving Salem the relic, only to get shot down, just confirms it that she will have to resort that in the end.

He’s in a hospital room but he looks pretty dead to me.

I know she’s still beat up but damn I’m living that hairdo.

I KNEW IT! Although I was kinda surprised that James didn’t kill the woman too. Vine seems much to at ease with all of this.

CRWBY really going for the nostalgia huh. Also. ZWEIIII.

An interesting choice to put both on them on the same clover petal. Could Harriet also be defecting?

I’m just glad Qrow has Robin to pick him up. poor mad needs some support.

THIS IS WHAT MY SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON LOOKS LIKE. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? DOES SALEM HAVE WINGS? CAN SHE FLY?

Winter’s colours and uniform looks too much like Ironwood for my liking. I doubt she will defect. Weiss forging her own path ahead.

I KNEW WE WERE GONNA SEE THESE TWO AGAIN!

Salem has her loyal minions...

...while Ironwood only truly trusts himself. I love this visual.

The way everything is positioned makes me think that Penny will sacrifice herself, or will be instrumental in getting Amity’s final launch up and running.

I don’t know it if it was intentional, but this tells me that Cinder is willing or forced to walk away from even RUBY to get the power she wants. 

And would even walk past the people who are actually there for her. And while this does give Neo probably cause to betray Cinder, after seeing what Salem is capable of, I’m willing to be that Neo will stay with Cinder just so that she can be on the “winning side”

Oh gods. We knew this was coming right. I’m hoping this will make Cinder realise that she is on the wrong path. Is Neo there as a symbol of possible support, or will she watch Cinder go up in flames. DON’T DO THIS TO ME CRWBY. PLEASE!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Like it can’t be just as shot CRWBY are fond of using, this must mean something! It connects her to both Cinder and Salem and I don’t know what to make of that? Usually this shot is after one of the characters has made a mistake in a monumental conflict and often rise from the surface to the dangerous consequences of their actions. WHAT DID YOU DO RUBY?

For a second I thought that was Cinder’s Grimm hand, and I honestly think that says enough.

This visual..... I don’t think Ruby is gonna make it out of this safety.

If anything it makes me think that Ruby’s drive and will to save Remnant, only looking at the big picture will leave her at odds, if not alienated to her team through this volume.

But there is only one way to find out.

....

Hey guys, so there is a lot more I wanted to bring up, but I think in the future Imma cap it to 30 screen shots. It’s has been damn exhausting writing this but I am so excited and terrified for this volume!

[spectralscathath]

do robyn :3c:

Send me a RWBY character and I’ll tell you:

Robyn Hill

My top three ships for the character

Clover/Robyn (Lucky Shot is my OTP), Qrow/Robyn (Jailbyrds is a spite ship and I’ll admit it), Roman/Robyn (Rob the Rich, if only for the name)

My three least favorite ships for the character

Robyn/any of the other Happy Huntresses, Robyn/Winter (I remember that fucking ‘snowbyrd’ discourse you bastards), Robyn/Qrow (when I remove the spite goggles I don’t like this at all.)

My biggest criticism for the character

you got 10 minutes? 20? Maybe 30? Buckle up fuckos. I got some points to make and you’re gonna listen.

1. Robyn Hill is wasted potential

Robyn’s first appearance was one of my favourite scenes of Vol7. No joke! She was witty, interesting, had an excellent banter with Clover, deliberately stood down from a fight she couldn’t win, though she seemed eager for a challenge, showed some cunning, and looked like she was having fun. 

And then pretty much all of that got ignored. Robyn was set up as a good, smart leader with a cocky swagger, history with Clover, a deceptively cunning streak, and a calm, level-headed attitude. What Robyn was from then on was Angry Shouty Hothead Picks Fights She Can’t Win. She turned into someone impulsive, short-sighted, bullheaded, and focused only on fighting. 70% of Robyn’s lines are about violence and how she likes violence and how she wants to fight with VIOLENCE. The other 30% are, incidentally, ‘i’m so smart and understanding and kind, I’m gonna force people to undergo a lie detector test via peer pressure and ultimatums but it’s actually tragic that no one wants to be my friend because of my semblance. Poor me. 

And that was not what I was expecting. That is not what was foreshadowed. And compared to what the potential could have been, a good allusion rich with depth, a setting that could ahve been interesting if it wasn’t so rushed, how she could have been a player on the board, filled so many possible roles, and instead she was a walking ‘Ironwood bad’ mouthpiece that didn’t actually do anything (and has never done well in a fight, which is RWBY’s staple). What a waste. 

2. Robyn Hill actively makes things worse and gets no comeuppance

Robyn Hill makes situations worse. First of all, she steals supplies from Ironwood (and then doesn’t use them???? what the fuck????), which puts Ironwood under stress, which then leads to Ruby being Miss Unhelpful (but that’s a rant for another day). Robyn then gets classified info from Blake and Yang who, may I remind you, never met her. She could have been a spy! But no, Blake just has a gut feeling (because the script said so).

Robyn then calls James out on this, which later leads to ‘how did Robyn know about the global communications tower’, which means the fighting happens in the office, everyone stresses, Salem provides one of the few redeeming scenes in the show post-Ironwatts fight (it all went downhill from there, even more then it already was). Robyn didn’t explicitly cause this but she sure as fuck had a hand in it. 

Then you have fucking. Clover’s death. Yes, Robyn, agreeing with the serial killer who just tried to murder you and starting a fight in an enclosed space when you’re a ranged fighter vs your melee combatant ex-boyfriend is absolutely the smart thing to do. And then, for a moment, Qrow and Clover nearly sort things out, and fucking Robyn jumps in again. And then, what did she do? She got knocked out immediately. Yikes. Ladies and gentlemen, our ‘Resident Strong Female Character’. But because she did all this, she pretty much guaranteed first: Tyrian escaped. Secondly: Clover died. 

And yeah, Robyn. Just because Qrow didn’t personally shove that blade through Clover’s chest, he still worked with The Serial Killer Who Kills People to help. So yeah, Robyn, that does count as some sort of murder. Or at least, accomplice to murder. You’re also vaguely adjacent to it, so don’t get all ‘but Qrow’s innocent’.

It’s the same problem with team RWBY. They do terrible things, they whine about how hard it is, and all is forgiven cause they’re cute sad girls. There’s no comeuppance. There’s no growth. It’s just the script going ‘this character is right because we said so, so now we’re gonna do our best approximation of if a pretzal and a contortionist had an unholy boneless lovechild and bend the plot so the characters win anyway.’

3. Robyn Hill is a static character

This is gonna sound weird with this lil header but Robyn actually had an arc in vol7! She had an arc that was fairly basic, she went from ‘I don’t trust Ironwood and want to know what’s going on’ to ‘I am actively ruining Ironwood’s goals’ and finally settled on ‘I know what’s going on, Ironwood is worth supporting, and I do trust him.’ It was a simple arc, but it didn’t need to be anything more then that. 

Then in the span of about 1 minute all her actual development was reversed and she ran backwards to her original stance of ‘Ironwood bad’. We literally saw her devleopment walk backwards, and there it stayed. She spent all of vol8 as an empty voicebox that occasionally pipped out ‘Qrow’s my friend’ and was devoid of any personality. She didn’t have much beforehand that wasn’t fairly generic, so it’s almost impressive.

The problem is that static characters take a lot of work to avoid being boring characters. A lot of rwby just has these problems in general, character development is either ignored, skipped over, or given to the wrong characters, but in Robyn’s case it’s actively annoying because she had some development, and then she ignored all of that to go back to being ‘ironwood bad’ with a side of ‘Qrow good’ because we needed to be reminded of that after he got an innocent man killed. 

4. Robyn Hill is an unnecessary character

Why are you here. What do you do. Robyn was stated to be a character meant to act in opposition to Ironwood, to put him under stress like every other fucking character in this series. This was ‘confirmed’ by Eddy Rivas, which means zero because at some point the mentally deranged Weazel Ball that masquerades as the crwby writing team’s collective braincell will rapidly and suddenly change direction, causing massive retcons and plotholes in their moth-eaten threadbare dishtowel they dare to call ‘lore’, and we will have a different excuse for this waste of a good VA. 

Here’s the thing tho: Robyn as ‘opposition for Ironwood’ isn’t fucking special. The fucking air in the Atlas Academy lobby opposes Ironwood. Robyn seems to be there... because Mantle needed a voice? Okay, well, why the fuck did Mantle need to exist? Because... the election plotline needed to exist so Jacque could do something mean? God, everything about Mantle and Robyn and the election plotline is just annoying. It drags and it adds nothing to the plotline and it all should have been culled so instead we could focus on things that are actually important (like maybe: the myth arc? character development? the fucking Schnees in Atlas???) rather then rwby’s fuckboi incel attempt at ‘classism = bad?’. If I, as a professional paid editor who works with actual manuscripts, was given the scripts for rwby vol7, I would have gotten the big red highlighter and done a shitload of crossing out. Then I would have told the writing team “come back with your second draft”, but alas, we got the Atlas Arc.

My favorite thing about the character

I love her design aside from that ugly-ass scarf. Also, her VA, Cristina Vee, is the only redeeming quality of this tire-fire of a character. Godbless and praise. 

A headcanon I have about them

She deals with chronic ‘ponytail keeps falling out’ syndrome, just constantly. So many hairbands get used up when she does anything. 

What I would change about them if I was making a re-write

Everything. Every fucking thing. Especially that stupid fucking lie-detecting semblance.

What I I think of their character allusion and what (if anything) I would change about it

It’s incredibly underutilised. It’s Robin Hood in-name-only. It’s like, the most basic ‘oh the name is Robin and they steal’ and there’s not even any of the most obvious tells. Where’s the bright green? Where’s the hood? Where’s the fucking longbow? Where’s the ‘giving to the poor’ that comes after ‘stealing the rich’? She didn’t actually use any of those things she stole to fix Mantle, she just stole it. 

Literally, all the classic elements of Robin Hood are missing, all that’s there is a name and... that’s it. The allusion isn’t there, and even if it was, it’s done in a boring fashion. 

Personally, I would add more Robin Hood elements, and I would change one key thing. I would change her allegiance. Instead of ‘Robin Hood on the side of good’, I would take the team WTCH  approach, a ‘good allusion turned evil’, and I’d have Robyn working with Salem, or, at least, as an antagonist. Because that could be actually interesting then the boring and unnecessary storyline we had.

RWBY Grimm Guardians Arc 3: Separated Union Ch 11

Side Black III: Coming Out

Welcome back to Separated Union! Here’s Side Black III and here, Blake and Gambol talk to Ghira and Kali about Beacon, their girlfriends, and themselves. Also, Ruby texts her.

Take note that Ghira and Kali may be portrayed differently than how they are in the show. I tried my best to make them similar to the show, but my memory is hazy on their personalities. I apologize for that.

As usual, please give constructive criticism and enjoy.

Disclaimer: Still own nothing. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4:30 PM)

“You ready?” Gambol asked. Blake sighed, anxiously curling her fingers into fists. “Not really.” She said. Sun and Gambol looked at her, before the taller woman said, “You know we can wait until tomorrow to tell them about what happened. Right?” The black haired teenager shook her head, “No. It’s...best that we do it now.” After a few moments of silence, Gambol nodded, before knocking on the door to the Belladonna Family Home. “Okaa-san? We’re home…” She said loudly.

The three faunus then heard footsteps, before Kali opened the door, looking like she ran a marathon. Sun ultimately decided to back up from the three Belladonnas, knowing that they would need some space. “You’re...her, right? Gambol?” The elder woman asked. Gambol nodded, “Yeah. It’s me…” Her mother then rushed up before hugging her taller daughter, murmuring with a smile, “It’s so good to finally meet you, watashi wo musume.”

The taller woman felt herself feel lighter, before tightly returning the embrace. “You too, Mom...” She said. She then let go of her mother, before the two turned to face Blake. Said teenager, quite predictably, froze. ‘Oh fuck, here we go…’ She thought, before biting her lip. “Hey, Mom…” Blake said hesitantly, anxiety building up as she tightened her fists. She didn’t have to say more, as Kali went up and hugged her tightly. “That’s my baby girl…” She whispered, smiling as tears ran down her cheeks.

It took a lot of strength for Blake to not start sobbing right there, as she returned the embrace just as, if not more tightly, tears running down her own cheeks as well. Gambol stood next to Sun, placing a hand on his shoulder. She gave a tired smile, “Just give them a couple minutes. They’ll be okay.” “Somehow, I think it’ll be a LOT longer than that before they get better…” The blonde replied. “Same with you, honestly. No offense.” The taller woman nodded, “That’s fair.”

“Honestly, I’m more worried about my dad’s reaction to Blake’s and my relationship statuses.” She sighed. She knew that Kali would most likely be proud and happy for her daughters, as the elder woman was, from what Gambol knew, bisexual. As for Ghira…

…

Gambol sighed again. She knew there was no way to tell if her father would be happy or not. “Gods, I hope this goes well.” The taller woman said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After everyone settled in the living room, Blake and Gambol sat on the couch, before Kali smiled, “Aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend?” Gambol chuckled as she heard her sister swearing under her breath on how she forgot that Sun was with them. “This is Sun Wukong.” The taller woman said. “Met him at Beacon.” The elder woman nodded, before shaking the blonde’s hand. “Thank you very much for being my daughters’ friend, young man.” She smiled. Sun nodded, “You’re welcome, ma’am.”

“My girls are here!” The group heard as Ghira entered the room, before gleefully nearly tackling his daughters in a bear hug. Blake began laughing as she hugged her father back, “Hey, papi.” Gambol made a groan, “Dad… As much as I love you, could you please let go? Getting tight...” The larger man just puffed his face, earning a snort of laughter from his wife, “I haven’t been able to hug either of you for months, so please let me have this.” The taller woman just looked at him, before sighing.

“Fine. Crush our spines if you need too.” She said, before getting the air knocked out of her from the larger man tightening his hug once more. After a few more moments, he finally let go, before sitting next to Kali on the opposite couch. “I’m sure there’s some things that you wish to keep private.” He said. “Especially with...Beacon.” Blake nodded with a small smile, “That would be best. Thank you.” After she and Gambol sat down, the eldest of the two finally said, “There…IS something we need to tell you two though.”

The two first started off by introducing Sun to the original White Fang leader. The blonde looked more than amused by what he just witnessed. Much to Gambol’s annoyance. The two explained that they met him at Beacon, before Ghira thanked him for being friends with his daughters. Needless to say, the blonde was VERY stunned...but also honored by the man’s thanks. The two sisters were also stunned, but ultimately decided to not comment on it for now.

There was a bigger topic that needed to be addressed.

“Blake and I are...together with someone…” Gambol said, obviously hesitating due to her worry regarding her parents’ reactions. The teenager nodded slowly, saying, “I’m...with one of my teammates. Gambol’s with said teammate’s Weapon Spirit.” Kali and Ghira nodded, with the elder woman smiling, “I’m so happy for you, hun.” “We...feel like...one of you might not be…” Blake said, her voice getting quieter as she brought her legs to her chest. Her father raised an eyebrow, “Is...something wrong…?”

Gambol bit her lip, before saying, “We’re...in same-sex relationships.” There it was. She had just said the truth about . Now the two waited for the inevitable reaction from Ghira. Of course, the two were extremely anxious; Gambol more so.

So it was no surprise that the sisters were somewhat shocked when they felt their father lift them in his arms.

“I am SO proud of you...!” He nearly shouted as he tightened his embrace. Gambol immediately recognized the man’s scent as a sign of him being overjoyed. “You...don’t hate us…?” She asked, queuing Ghira to loosen his hug in confusion.

“Why would I?” He asked. “You two are our children. We’re supposed to love and support you.” Ghira then patted his daughters’ heads, chuckling, “Plus, your mother and I went through this situation when we were your age.” He and Kali then froze when they noticed tears running down their daughters’ faces. Neither had a chance to ask what was wrong as Gambol tightly hugged her father. “Kitten?” Kali called out as she gently held Blake in her arms.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. Just…” Blake started, before simply saying, “Thank you…” A feeling of realization washed over the older adults. Their daughters were happy that they were loved for who they were...as people. Ghira began rocking his eldest child with a smile, purring, “We're so proud of both of you.” He then chuckled when he felt Gambol tighten her hug around him. Kali smiled as she rubbed her youngest daughter’s back, “We’re so happy for you two…”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the two sisters had settled down, Kali gave them each a cup of tea to rehydrate, before giving a cup to Sun as well and sitting down in front of them. “So, what are they like?” She asked excitedly. “You haven’t told us their names yet.” Taking a sip of tea, Blake gave a tired smile, “Yang Xiao Long. She’s the older half-sister of our pure team leader, Ruby Rose. Yang’s Weapon Spirit is Ember Celica. Definitely the light and strength in our lives.”

A smile formed on Ghira’s lips, “Just so we’re sure, what’s Yang and Ruby’s parents’ names?”

Gambol raised an eyebrow in confusion, but answered, “Their dad is Taiyang Xiao Long, Yang’s mother is Raven Branwen, and Ruby’s mother is Summer Rose…” Kali chuckled, “Funny how fate works sometimes.” “Haven’t heard those names in quite some time.” She sighed with a smile. “Not since graduating from Beacon.” Blake raised an eyebrow, “You know their parents?” Her mother nodded, smiling, “Knew Summer and Raven back in Beacon. And by extension, Taiyang.”

“Then you...might not like what happened to them since then.” Gambol said, hesitantly. As her parents gave the two concerned glances, the taller woman explained, “After you graduated from Beacon, Raven had Yang with Taiyang. According to Summer, she left everyone to protect her family from her tribe.” “Summer had Ruby with Taiyang and had been trying her best to convince Raven, who she still has feelings for, to at least visit.” Gambol continued, noticing the shocked expressions on her parents' faces.

“Is she…?” Kali started asking, before Blake answered, “She’s alive...now. She...wasn’t from when Ruby was a toddler to almost a year ago.” Ghira let out a shuttered sigh; one with relief, but also anxiety, “So...how did she come back?” “Raven resurrected her via a ritual that turned her into a Weapon Spirit. Raven’s brother witnessed it himself.” Gambol explained. “She was without her memories until several months ago.” The elder man nodded, “Because of Beacon, I assume?”

Blake nodded, “Yang and Ruby have been giving us updates via text. There are still some missing, like some parts of adulthood and almost all of childhood, but Ms. Summer’s recovering.” Her parents nodded, though there seemed to be a hint of worry in their expressions. “May we...see pictures of all of them?” Kali asked. The two nodded, before showing her parents a picture on Blake’s scroll. “Ruby’s on the left in the red cloak and Yang’s the blonde.” Blake explained.

She could see the sparkles and joy in her mother’s as the elder woman nearly shouted, “Oh, they are too freaking cute...!” “Gods, they look a lot like their mothers.” Ghira said, receiving a nod of agreement from his wife. He then raised an eyebrow, “Who’s the white haired one?” Gambol averted her eyes for a bit, “That...would be Weiss Schnee.” Her parents looked at her both mildly shocked and confused. Blake huffed out a bit of a laugh, “Yeah, we know it’s crazy.”

She then explained, “But she’s becoming a better person thanks to us and her mom.” “Willow’s also a Weapon Spirit now?” Her father asked. Blake nodded, “Unlike Summer though, she has her memories….and she’s happier now that she’s out of her husband’s control.” Kali nodded, smiling, “Good. She deserves it. I’m sure she’s trying to help her children?” Gambol nodded, chuckling, “She’s certainly doing her best in every way she knows how.”

Her parents nodded, before Gambol pulled out her scroll. “Now, I’m sure you’d like to see what Summer and Willow look like as well.” She said, showing Ghira and Kali a picture of her, Ember, Willow, and Summer back at Beacon. “The blonde is Ember.” The taller woman explained. Kali nodded, “She really looks like Taiyang.” “Willow looks much younger.” Ghira said. Gambol nodded, “She hates it. Though Summer knows someone who might help her.”

Her parents nodded, before looking at Summer in the picture...and noticed that she looked like her OWN mother. “Fuck, what did she get into?” Ghira sighed, noticing the eyepatch and scars. Kali had her hands over her lips, before asking, “What does she look like now?” Gambol sipped through a couple photos, before showing Kali, “This was taken when Ruby, her uncle, Summer, and Team JNPR arrived in Mistral.” Kali’s eyes widened as she noticed Summer’s Grimm eye and scar, before sighing.

“What the hell has that woman gone through?” She asked. Blake sighed, “Hell, apparently. And that’s putting it vaguely.” “How much shit does she have to go through…?” Ghira mumbled, before nodding. He then said with a smile, “Well, we’re certainly looking forward to meeting them.” The two sisters could tell that their parents were worried about Summer, even though they really were looking forward to meeting their friends.

The youngest of the sisters diverted her attention briefly as her scroll buzzed, before checking it. “That woman is a mess sometimes…” Gambol said, referring to Summer. Kali nodded, sighing, “She was always like that. Even back at Beacon.” She then clasped her hands together, before giving a tired, but genuine smile, “Well, I’m really glad to hear about your friends.” “Looks like it might happen soon.” Blake said. “Ruby’s planning a virtual meeting, so you may get your chance.”

Her parents nodded, with Kali excitedly asking, “When?” Gambol and Blake sighed with some relief that their parents seemed in a better mood. Though they could worry about why the elder couple were anxious in the first place later. Right now, they needed to start planning for the meeting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(That night…)

Ghira and Kali were still up, just entering their bed. “Summer Rose, Taiyang Xiao Long, and Raven Branwen, huh.” The former White Fang leader said. “Those are names I haven’t heard in ages.” His wife nodded in agreement, “What are we going to do? None of them know Summer’s heritage. Not even her own friends and family” Sitting on the mattress, the bearded man sighed, “I don’t know. We WILL have to tell Blake and her friends, as well as their families about Summer’s identity when they come over.”

“She might not be ready for that information. You know what our daughters said.” Kali said. “Summer died and was resurrected by Raven.” She then explained, “Blake even said she’s been regaining her memories, but Summer’s daughters told her that Summer doesn’t remember her childhood. She doesn’t remember her mothers.” Ghira knew how close Summer was to her mothers from Kali. And he ALSO knew that Summer was not only in Beacon to be a huntress...but also to get revenge on her mothers’ murderer.

Who the murderer WAS was anyone’s guess.

“We should only tell a select few.” He said. “We can’t just keep this a secret. She’ll be furious if we keep it hidden.” Kali sighed. She knew that this information was going to get out in the open eventually. She also knew how scary Summer could be when angry. “Raven, her brother, Willow, her daughter, and our own daughters then.” She said. Her husband nodded in agreement, “Two of her most trusted friends, one of which she still has feelings for, and the Schnees, who she and our kids trust.”

His wife nodded, “Then we are agreed.” She then sat next to him, before chuckling, “Funny how time changes a person. Summer’s changed a lot it seems, but Willow sounds like she’s in a better environment.” Ghira smirked, “Same with her daughter… As well as us.” Kali laughed softly, “Hopefully Raven is still similar to what she was like near graduation. She and Summer looked so happy together back then.”

Her husband nodded in agreement, laying down next to the love of his life. He then sighed, with a worrisome expression. “It sounds like Summer might have personal problems with her relationships.” He said. “She might feel like she has to choose between Raven and Taiyang.” Kali nodded, “Gods, I hope she’s alright. She’s already gone through so much.” Ghira nodded with a worried expression, before the couple sighed in unison.

That was a worry that could wait until tomorrow. Right now, they needed to relax. A lot of guests would be coming soon.

And they needed to be ready for that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

God, I really hope I did the coming out part right. I really do.

So yeah, I MAY have written Ghira as more of a loveable papa bear than how he is in the show. Also Kali, in this AU, did know Summer and Raven (and by extension, Taiyang) at Beacon and talked about them with Ghira.

Ghira would know of Summer’s parents through political means, back when he was the leader of the White Fang.

But, yeah. Side Black is all finished. Now for Side Yellow III, where Yang gets a new arm, and chats with Ruby and Summer. Tai and Ember will also be present.

Paladin:  Chapter 13:  Vacant

RWBY + JNR + Qrow and Oscar sat in the Cotta-Arc living room.

Ruby: So... it's been like a week. And we're no closer to getting to Atlas...

Jaune: We've got to do something.

Yang: But, what?

Nora: There is that thing I suggested...

Jaune: If we had a pilot.

Qrow: *looks about knowingly*

Blake: Do you know someone, Uncle Qrow?

Qrow: A great many people.

Jaune: Someone willing to commit treason and fly us to Atlas?

Qrow: Yes... and no...

Ren: Hm?

Nora: And what does that mean?

Qrow: I'd said about a 70-30% chance we'll get to Atlas.

Blake: And the 30?

Qrow: We'll be robbed and dumped into the ocean.

Weiss: *SCOFF*

Qrow: And at least one of you will probably be raped.

Weiss: *SSCCOOFFFF!!*

Nora: Like, even with all of us there?

Qrow: Locked in a tiny box in the back of the airship.

Ren: There must be some other way, other than waiting.

Nora: How about we just kidnap someone?

Ruby: Huh?

Nora: It's not like we'll hurt him that badly, and I'm sure if Weiss apologizes, he'll forgive us.

Weiss: Why me?

Nora: Because, like, you're really good at that. Guys like Jaune see you and just want to sacrifice his life for you.

RWB_: *stares at Jaune*

Jaune: I... can't really deny that...

Weiss: But?..

Jaune: Love at first sight... or compliment... I think it was the compliment...

Weiss: Pardon, but when did I?..

Ruby: Wait, that was a compliment? Because I really wasn't sure at the time.

Weiss: Hm?

Jaune: *clears his throat*

Jaune: Tall, blond, and lanky.

Weiss: *mouth frozen open with shock*

Jaune: What? It was the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Other than my mom... and she's... well... mom... and still not really supportive...

Weiss: Pardon, pardon, pardon, pardon, pardon...

Weiss: *sharp intake of breath*

Weiss: You... cannot... be serious... THAT'S WHY YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH ME?! HAVE YOU NO GOOD-GOD FORSAKEN SELF-RESPECT?

Nora: Duh. That's been like the problem the ENTIRE time. Pay attention, Ice Queen.

Weiss: *scoff*

Ren: I highly doubt an angel would speak to him like that.

Blake: Ehn... from historic depictions of angels...

Weiss: *scoff*

Yang: Ice queen?

Weiss: *huff*

Yang: Ice queen?

Weiss: *questioning huff*

Yang: Don't you have something to say to him.

Yang: *points at Jaune, head between his legs, nearly despondant*

Weiss: *gently shakes Jaune*

Weiss: *shakes him slightly more vigorously*

Weiss: Jaune-dear. Jaune? Jaune-dear?!

Nora: Nah, you have to do it like this.

Nora: *slaps Jaune's shoulder so hard he gets knocked to the floor*

Jaune: *groans*

Jaune: *slowly picks himself up*

Jaune: *sits back up on the couch, only to find Weiss on her knees between his legs*

Yang: When I told you to chill, Ice Queen, that's not what I mean.

Weiss (not acknowledging Yang): I am so terribly sorry. I had no idea... I was just... I... love you...

Jaune: *gently craddles Weiss' face*

Jaune and Weiss: *get lost in each other's eyes*

Qrow: Okay. Crisis averted. What do we do now?

Blake: Is there another port we can try?, if Argus is completely locked down.

Qrow: Everyone knows who you are in Vale, so they'll figure out what we're trying to do right away.

Ren: If not Mistral or Vale, then that leaves Vacuo as primary ports.

Weiss: And who do we know in Vacuo?

*pregnant silence*

Yang: What about someone who used to live in Vacuo, but is now in Mistral?

Blake: *sighs*

* * *

Sun: RWBY needs our help!

Scarlet: Who?

Sun: Oh, come on, pay attention. Remember that girl I was with?

Scarlet: Which one?

Sun: The one I ditched you guys for... for like... a few months?

Sage: *nods*

Scarlet: Oh, the Faunus?

Sun: *glares at Neptune*

Neptune: Is now really the time for this?

Sun: Okay... right... sure... but... Okay, so, you all remember Blake?

Sage: *nods*

Sun: Do we all remember all the wicked cool stuff her team kept getting into.

Neptune: Don't remind me.

Sun: Don't talk like that... Okay, so, they're going to Vacuo, and need someone to show them around.

Neptune: Seriously. You want to get us all killed?

Sun: Oh, come-on, we're going to be huntsmen.

Scarlet: Yeah, doesn't sound like what they are doing.

Sage: They still... need help...

Sun: Oh, come-on, guys. Action. Adventure. Babes.

Neptune: Weiss has already seen my uncoolness.

Neptune: *sighs*

Sun: On, come on. Do you know how famous they are? Imagine if that was us?

Scarlet: *shimmering smile*

Scarlet: Actually, you know what?, not worth it.

Sun: Sage?

Sage: *shrugs his shoulders and nods his head towards Scarlet*

Sun: Okay, Neptune. You're coming, right?

Neptune: I... don't know... I mean... there are plenty of girls who haven't seen my uncoolness?

Sun: Neptune.

Neptune: Nope.

Sun: Neptune.

Neptune: Nope.

Sun: Come on, Neptune.

Neptune: Not going to work.

Sun: Neptune.

Neptune: Nope.

Sun: Neptune!

Neptune: Nope.

Sun: Neptune...

Neptune: *sighs*

Neptune: If I say yes, will you stop?

Sun: Duh? Alright, let's get going.

Scarlet: And what do we do while you're gone?

Sun: Copy your notes for me.

Scarlet: That is... what I did last time...

Sun: Exactly. I knew I could count on you guys.

* * *

James: *reads a request from his desk*

James: *angrily smashes his desk and storms off*

James: What is this? I gave STRICT instructions that they were to be let into Atlas!

Brigadier: She knew fully well what was expected. It's... impossible that this was an accident.

30 seconds. That’s how long it took for me to get mad at this review.

“We start the episode post-argument where it’s explained Atlas’ borders are closed. Then the military guards suddenly change their minds and decide the group can speak to their commanding officer, Caroline Cordovon.”

The very first thing about the episode and we already have a problem. 

The guard’s change wasn’t sudden- They changed when they saw Weiss.

Qrow: Hey, if you don't wanna believe that I'm friends with Ironwood--

Both Nubuck Guards: General Ironwood!

Qrow: Yeah, General Ironwood, then fine. But look, we have Weiss Schnee with us and we're trying to get her home safely.

Weiss looks down with reluctance upon hearing Qrow say that. The two guards look to each other before turning their attention back to the group.

Both Nubuck Guards: Approach!

Weiss shares a look with Blake Belladonna, who just shrugs. Weiss then walks up to the gate and the two guards step up and bend down to inspect her. After a moment, both guards stand straight back up.

Both Nubuck Guards: Very well!

Guard Nubuck 2: You may speak with our commanding officer!

Guard Nubuck 1: We will fetch her at once!

Considering her tone and the video title- I expect to at least go a minute without an issue.

“We then spend about two minutes and a half doing nothing as Cordo just says random shit as opposed to saying why the kids aren’t allowed in.”

A. We already know why they aren’t allowed in- They want into Atlas, Ironwood says no. This stated BEFOREHAND. The reason why Cordovon came out was to see Weiss.

Something you’d know if you paid attention before.

B. Cordovon isn’t saying random shit- it’s demonstrating her character which is important since this is the ONLY time we see her before she busts out the mech so we need to know why the character would do it NOW.

Seriously, this is pretty god damn important. Well at least it can’t get wor-

“Then Cordovon drops some odd racism-”

...

All that bitching about the Fanaus not being discriminated against...and how Atlas wasn’t built up enough...this line does BOTH...and gets bitched at.

Are you starting to see why I’m surprised RWBY improves at all?

“Ruby wanders outside to find Maria, who tells her to sit down and tell her about her eyes a bit. Maria spends most of her speech telling us about her backstory and barely touches on the eyes.”

A. Again, character building. Even worse here since the character building is about her father (the previous eye warrior), emphasises that her training and Semblance are more important and explains why the Silver eyed warriors aren’t so well known.

B. She also scolds Ruby for beating herself up over Jaune and Oscar (I skipped over her explaining that because it was worth less than what she says the episode is) which is pretty important to a character like Ruby.

C. About half the talk is about the eyes, she doesn’t just ‘barely touch on it’ since it sets the rules for the eyes (Ruby needs to think about what she wants to protect, only works in presence of Grimm). This isn’t nearly as worthless as you treat it.

“Why start the episode at the conclusion of an argument then just pick it back up immediately? Yang’s line at the beginning must be very accurate because it looks like they saw the kids walking up and closed the gates. It’s just a very clunky way to start the episode.”

... When was it said or shown that the argument had ended? Yang’s line ( Come on! You didn't even hear us out!) can be applied in both situations. While the guards line imply they know why they’re there, thus there must have been a talk,... Team JNPR is there, they can infer why they are there.

“This entire scene with Cordovon is trying so hard to be funny and fails every time. The jokes land about as well as Jaune does-”

Okay, you really shouldn’t make a bad joke when in the middle of complaining about bad jokes unless it’s an intentional example. I know it’s not because you never use it as an example. In fact, I find your joke worse because you do the cringey ‘GET IT?!’ punchline with a weird metal rift in the back so it just...fails at the punchline even though just playing Jaune’s audio in that scene would have actually worked.

“And the pauses for laughter are just filled with utter silence.”

... Did it never occur to you the punchline is the silence? As if everyone is so flabbergasted at Cordovon’s actions no one knows how to act? You really should show a joke instead of talking over it.

“I spend half my time in this scene screaming ‘just fucking go already!’“

That explains your utter failure regarding this scene.

“How did the guards not notice Weiss? Why did they need her to come closer to know it’s her?”

They’re trying to get inside and Weiss never spoke while an angry blonde is yelling at them. People don’t act like computers.

“How does Maria know it’s Cordo who runs this place?”

Maria: Oh, yes. I come through here about once every ten years to get my eyes checked up in Atlas. You bring outside cashews on one flight, and suddenly you're placed on the additional screening list for life!

Where you screaming over this line too?

“Why did she not inform everyone she was utter rivals with the commander they’re trying to work with?”

Ruby: (mouth stuffed) Well... (takes a gulp) We're trying to make our way to Atlas. We'll probably start with the military base.

She wasn’t expecting to deal with her.

“And it takes so long-”

11 seconds. From Maria talking Ruby down (being generous since she bitches about the group guessing what they are) to Maria confirming they’re enemies.

11 seconds. Standard joke procedure too.

This just makes you look impatient.

“Dragging it’s feet as it pretends having Maria yell is the same as having a joke-”

She says as the animation with Maria shows comical facial expressions and the audio implies a random incident with cashews, common joke technique.

This reminds me of something I learned about media and the relationship between creators and audience: it’s a lot like bartering. The creators offer you something you want and the audience pays with suspension of disbelief and patience. Some creators ask too much, we’re well aware of them (like M. Night.)

However, the audience or members of it can also demand too much. Like refusing to accept anything except for a certain thing done a specific way at a specific time or demand stuff not what the creator intends to sell. Criticism videos believe it or not have something similar, offering insight and more for good faith.

Twiinks sounds like she’s being pissy about what she is given in an unfair fashion and because of a lack of insight, I am not willing to give any good faith in turn.

“The only saving grace in this mind numbing mess is the one tiny joke that actually lands.”

... But it’s effectively the same joke as the one you chewed out. In fact, it had more dead air in it than the others. Also since you just showed you have the audio it REALLY doesn’t excuse your lack of examples so far.

“DO SOMETHING!”

They did, right before. You cut out the audio. And this is the same dead air you praised before. 

Do you just not understand how to dissect jokes?

“Why is Maria arguing with Cordovon?-”

They JUST said they hate each other and Cordovon just insulted her. No, I don’t care you said they need to work with each other- You’re demanding they sacrifice character for plot as everyone bitches they do too much plot.

“How does Cordo know they’re connecting to RNJR? She hadn’t seen them in the distance before-”

Dunno, they asked the same thing while acting like they tried to get in before?

“Presenting the only other good joke of the episode-”

THE SAME TYPE OF JOKE YOU CHEWED OUT BEFORE. LITERALLY THE SAME. SAME SETUP, SAME EXECUTION, SAME PUNCHLINE.

“Honestly based on this one joke, it’d be funner to see RNJR interact with Cordo instead of this slog-”

And based on the video so far, it wouldn’t do a damn thing to fix things.

“I just showed you one of the stupidest moments in RWBY history. Let’s break it down.’

Oh this should be rich.

“If this base and that relay tower are so important, why aren’t we looking at them?”

Because the actual focus is on Cordovon’s massive sense of patriotism and ego. In fact, when you look at what she said again-

You civilians are clearly incapable of comprehending the importance of our mission here in Argus. So allow me to say this slowly, with smaller words: This base, that relay tower, the very safety of Argus are all gifts from the glorious Kingdom of Atlas! (a backdrop showing the Atlesian flag waves behind her) And it is my duty to uphold them, as only I have the wit and tenacity for such a task.

The focus is all on Atlas and herself. The relay tower and base are her justifications.

Which is important as these drive her actions later on as she feels slighted by the team and insulted, leading her to act irrationally.

“We’re stuck watching Cordo because...no good reason.”

*taps the section above this*

We’re not even a third of the way into the video BTW.

“Second: this has nothing to do with anything in the conversation at hand.”

You know, other than the good guys questioning her and pressing her to relent when her ego says otherwise.

“Ruby asks Cordo to listen to their request, she says she already heard it, says she’ll explain herself then...just tells us her job.”

And it is my duty to uphold them, as only I have the wit and tenacity for such a task.

This is her explanation. Do they have to have her say “Because I know better than you!” in order for you to understand.

P.S. “Cordo says ‘I’m a General!” That’s IRONWOOD’S rank. Did you do so little research and/or cared so little that it never once occurred to you that made no sense and she was referred to as ‘Special Operative’?

“Protecting Argus isn’t brought up and has nothing to do with getting to Atlas!”

*holds up a piece of paper saying ‘EGO!’ in big bold letters.*

“And this tendency to have Cordo sputter out random bullshit to force unnecessary events persists throughout the conversation.”

And you completely missing the point to obnoxious and I dare say intentional degrees persists throughout everything I’ve seen. And unlike the show, where this all feeds into Cordovon’s character and shows human flaws, you just show immense ineptitude. 

You bitch that this scene took forever but I’ve seen time pass faster watching paint dry than this shit.

“Almost nothing she says can be interpreted as a valid response to what the characters say.”

That. Is. The. Point.

If it’s not well executed- TALK about it’s execution. You’ve gone on for five minutes and yet cutting it would in fact make your video more tolerable.

*shows an example.*

“Cutting out the filler lines about Ironwood being scared prompting her rant shows how none of what she says has anything to do with what the characters say to her.”

... 

The thing that triggered her rant... you cut out. All while trying to prove that Cordovon isn’t listening to them...when the point of the scene is to show she won’t listen to reason...

... You know what? I’m done here. This is so blatantly missing the point that you’re effectively useless.

Twiinks, actually PAY ATTENTION to the show. Your flaw here is that you don’t pay attention (a critic’s JOB) and you keep missing such details (and outright the PURPOSE OF A SCENE) that there’s no reason to listen to you.  You can’t offer insight because you fail to see anything beyond the surface and applying your criticisms would lead to the creators insulting their audience’s intelligence.

Give people like FMF and Vexed Viewer credit- They can at least understand the PURPOSE of a scene. 

You know, the same guys I preach as biased incompetent idiots.

[itsclydebitches]

I mentioned it in a post of my own but I like bouncing thought bubbles off on you because you're so analytical - even if Team RWBYJNROQ isn't considering the worldwide ramifications of the secret reveal about Salem, why haven't they considered their personal ones? Jaune's seven sisters? Ruby and Yang's father/Qrow's (supposedly??) best friend? Blake's multitude of family and friends? Oscar's aunt? They have things they could LOSE in this gamble too yet not one of them has considered that danger.

Oh god, get praised for analytical skills and then I’ve got to chuck out the shitty answer of I DON’T KNOW. I honestly feel like this is more of a legit writing problem than an “It’s up to interpretation” situation. I mentioned regarding the questions of scientists and Atlas floating that a lack of development can be a good thing. Some of us might be interested in why people have apparently never questioned how Atlas stays afloat, but we nevertheless recognize that it’s not necessary information for the story to function well and may actually detract from our overall engagement (if people aren’t interested in hearing Ironwood explain all these intricacies). That lies more in the realm of Q&A/DVD extras/RWBY books/fic. Why RWBYJNROQ doesn’t think on these ramifications though... that doesn’t fit into the, “Eh. Might have been cool if we got it but not getting it is fine” category. Those motivations are at the core of this volume’s conflict and thus we, the audience, should know about them. But we don’t. 

For the first couple of episodes I was working under the assumption that they were simply putting off telling the truth. They wouldn’t think on the repercussions of telling the world about Salem because they never intended that to be a real possibility. We’d see them come to trust Ironwood after working for him a bit. Or someone would call Ruby out on her hypocrisy and she’d come clean. Something would pretty quickly take that threat off the table, thereby also removing the question of why they’re not thinking about these consequences. It’s like the billion times worse version of putting off writing your paper. You don’t think about---let alone discuss---the things you might have to deal with upon not finishing it because you do intend to finish it... you just haven’t yet. And you keep your intentions, keep procrastinating too, until suddenly OH NO the deadline has passed and now you’re faced with consequences you didn’t plan for. No planning because they weren’t ever supposed to happen. Ultimately I think RWBYJNROQ are in the same place. Why would we discuss these ramifications? We would never let it get to that point... but now they’re letting it get to that point. More than that, we’ve seen Ruby pushing for the completion of the arena and, by extension, the day when Ironwood will tell the world. That blindsided me and changed the situation from, “The group is in denial about facing up to their lives” to “The group is overtly supporting something they know they shouldn’t but we don’t understand why they would do that??” Ruby meekly keeping quiet to avoid making a decision is different from us watching Ruby make that decision---supporting this plan---without an explanation as to why. 

So yeah. I don’t know. Because so far the story hasn’t done the work to provide us with an answer. Which is nothing new now. Why did the group lose all the sympathy they had for Ozpin 30 seconds after the vision? Why is Weiss acting like she knows 100% that Ironwood is stringing Winter along when she’s the one keeping secrets? Why is Ruby encouraging Ironwood to finish a doomed plan at the expense of Mantle? Why does Nora yell out that they should just tell the people about Salem now, like that’s such an easy, obvious decision? None of them have thought through consequences because the writing doesn’t let them think through consequences. Acknowledging what they could potentially lose requires that the writing sit the characters down and let them have a complex conversation about all this. But as we saw in Volume Six when JNR just parroted RWBY’s exact reactions from the snow, those conversations rarely (if ever) happen. Having someone like Oscar go, “Hey, can we maybe not keep lying to Ironwood and putting so much effort helping with what we know is a doomed plan? Because if he finishes and essentially presses the doomsday button before we can explain things or convince him otherwise, the world is pretty screwed. Including my aunt. Alone. Out on a farm. Potentially surrounded by grimm...” requires a level of nuance and criticism of the protagonists’ choices that the writing simply refuses to provide.

*Team RWBY and JNR are talking about their favorite celebrities*

Pyrrha, on her scroll, not paying attention to the conversation:

Jaune: Pyrrha? Hello? Are you listening?

Pyrrha: Huh? What? Did you say something to me?

Jaune: I asked if you met any celebrities in your life?

Pyrrha: Oh, well yeah. I met some in my life.

Jaune: Really? That's awesome. Have you met the female lead role for the new x Ray and vav movie?

Yang: Oh my god! I love her so much! She's such an amazing and sweet actress. Please tell us you met her before, P money.

Pyrrha: X Ray and Vav movie?........oh yeah, I met her once.

Ruby: Oh my gosh! Really?! That's so awesome! That must've been so cool.

Pyrrha, shrugging: Yeah, I guess........to be bad she's a terrible human being though. *Goes back to her scroll*

RWBYJNR:..............WHAT?!

Pyrrha: What?

Nora: What do you mean she's a terrible human being?! She's so sweet though!

Pyrrha: No, that's just a persona she has to get fans to like her. She's a terrible human being in reality. I participated in a charity event once, and that was when I met her. We talked for a little bit and got hungry, so we got some food afterwards at some restaurant. Although, they messed up my order because they were really packed that day, and I mistakenly told her about it. That was when I saw her true side. She exploded at the poor waiter, calling him trash and idiotic. He actually started crying.

RBYJNR, wide eyed:

Pyrrha: Meanwhile I was trying to stop her while telling the waiter it was alright, but she still didn't stop. She went on a rant about 'Do you know who we are?!' and how somehow we were better than them or something. She was flaunting her celebrity status around as if it was a trophy. It was really embarrassing. I went back to the waiter after she left and apologized like 30 times. I felt terrible.

RBYJNR, still wide eyed:

Pyrrha: Yeah, believe it or not but a lot of celebrities are absolute nightmares, especially the ones who act sweet.

Ruby:..........are you serious?

Pyrrha: Yep.

Yang: But I........she seemed so amazing though.

Jaune: Okay wait.......what about that one actor who just won that Oscar. You know, the lead star from the mafia movie?

Pyrrha: Oh, I met him once.

Jaune: And what was he like? Surely he wasn't terrible. He's seems so friendly.

Pyrrha: Actually he's incredibly racist against faunus.

Blake: WHAT?!

Pyrrha: Yeah. I was surprised too. But he's complete garbage. I overheard him talking about faunuses a little bit after I met him, and let me tell you something, yikes. We had an argument because of it before I decided to leave. But yeah, that guy is absolutely terrible.

Ren: My god.

*30 minutes of questions later*

Yang, absolutely heartbroken: NO! ARE YOU SERIOUS! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE LYING!

Pyrrha: Im sorry but I'm not.

Jaune: BUT SHE SEEMS SO AMAZING THOUGH!!! HOW COULD SHE BE TERRIBLE?! I LOVE HER MOVIES!

Pyrrha, shrugging: Hey, I'm telling that a lot of your favorite celebrities are actually not that great. They're are heartless people. I honestly don't really like other celebrities because of it. So many of them are fake.

Yang: My god. That's fucking terrible!

Jaune, worried: Wait wait, w-what about Keanu Reeves? Have you met him before?

Pyrrha: Yes, i have.

Jaune: Oh for the of God, don't give us bad news.

Pyrrha: Keanu Reeves is an absolute angel in every way possible and we aren't worthy of him.

RWBYJNR: OH THANK GOD!

RWBY Volume 6 Episode 7 “The Grimm Reaper” MicksteRecap-BEHOLD THE NICE BACKGROUNDS!

Hey everybody, last night’s Christmas party was a DOOZY, sorry I’m late-TIME FOR THE MICKSTERECAP!

IT STARTS OFF-

-THE SANCTUARY of the spring relic...which...Salem can just enter any time she wants apparently! Man, maiden powers AND a secret hideout, that’s awesome!

Hell, she can even invite FRIENDS inside! Just get some chairs, a TV and surround sound, you’ll have a chill pad!

Either way Cinder gives Neo the low-down about how Salem ordered Cinder to take Ruby alive NOT dead-ALL WHILE-

2:58 ...she...plays with her knife, like a total creep! I ain’t judging, we all gotta stim from time to time.

Anyway, Cinder tells Neo that while she can’t kill Ruby, NEO hasn’t taken ANYONE’S orders, and then the two become best murder friends forever!

Because we ALL KNOW how well the LAST time Cinder made a deal with a recurring antagonist...also holy crap Neo’s tiny, she’s like a murderous Felicity Smoak!

A THEN CUT TO-

3:38 THE BRIDGE FROM EVERY SAMURAI STORY! Don’t lie, you got Samurai Jack flashbacks to. It is HERE WE SEE-

-absoLUTE cosplay bait! LOOK AT THAT-its glorious!

And you just KNOW what’s comin’ next folks-

4:20 ONE ON ONE MONSTER FIGHT BITCHES!

Maria starts out with a bridge back-flip-

THEN-does a gun-scythe-kama toss-

-AND LANDS THAT SHIT IN THE SHOULDER-but wait-THERE’S MORE!

SHE FLICKS THE PURPLE SWITCH-oh Mauvisto we fear your dark power-WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE-

-MAGNETIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC SCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYTHES-bitch! Most likely due to gravity dust! She then uses it to FLOAT HER ASS up to the bird!

“I’M MARY POPPINS Y’ALL!”

She SPINS IN for a shoulder strike-

AND LANDS-in the shoulder! Lot of shoulder strikes with this bird.

She then steers it through the anime mountains-

THROWS-one of her kamas-IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR-

-creating what LOOKS like a fixed point of gravity-

-PULLS back her weapons forcing the bird into a quick-stop turn, STEERING THAT FUCKER-

-RIGHT INTO A MOUNTAIN! FUCK YES-pro Huntresses rule! She also LANDS that bitch-

-RIGHT INTO A DITCH! RHYMING!

She then pulls one of her kmas out and everything is fine-OR IS IT?!

Nevermore: Hey.

Maria: Oh...hey.

Nevermore: Whatcha doin?

Maria: OH-I was just going to leave.

Nevermore: That’s nice, but how about I eat you instead?

Maria tries zigging and zagging-BUT-

4:56 It knocks both her weapon-

AS WELL AS HER! She’s only got ONE OPTION-

VAGUELY EXPLAINED MAGICAL SUPERPOWER GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

5:09 DAMN-petrified and then crumpled in MID-air!

After that kerfuffle, Maria than just goes on her merry way-

Tock: SURPRISE BITCH-I’m a crocodile!

We are then treated to one of the shortest...and MOST epic action exchanges of ALL time! Which starts out with THIS-

Maria: I don’t think you know who I am.

Tock: Course I do!

Clock: *Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind-DING!*

Tock: YOUR the Grim reaper! 

AND YES-there are screws in her croco-teeth, don’t question it, its just awesome.

Tock: And THESE are the last 60 seconds of your life.

*SHING*

6:10*GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW*

And yes, the action scene ends exactly SIXTY seconds after she starts glowing, AS WELL as the clock stopping sixty seconds after it officially started and its absolutely brilliant-TO THE FIGHT-

6:13-Tock starts with a straightforward slash-BUT Grimm Reaper Maria blocks it like a boss-BUT-

6:16 -TOCK knocks away one of her mini-scythes-BUT MARIA-

-NOT ONLY gravetizes her other scythe back to her-

-BUT WHILE BLOCKING SHOTGUN CHARLIE-damn she was great in her prime. THEN-

-she slashes Machete Jackson RIGHT in the face-

6:27 Knocks away BOTH of these punks-

6:30 While knocking Hammer Armond down-LIKE A BOSS! BUT THEN-

6:31 TOCK comes in with the double slash, grinning like a mad woman.

Jackson and Tock get the jump on her, one zigs, the other zags, PROMPTING MARIA TO ACTIVATE-

6:44 BO-STAFF MODE-now it has DOUBLE the attack power!

She goes in striking Jackson-

-BUT TOCK-gets up close and personal-

6:47

And in a SPLIT second-

JACKSON’S back up and tag-teams Maria with Tock...wait, not like that.

Maria knocks back Jackson again, she zigs, Tock zags, LOTSA ZIGGING AND ZAGGIN UP IN THIS

ALL THE WHILE-the same tick-tick ticking is going on-OOOH-its like a Venture bros scene!

Maria looks like she’s got the upper hand-BUT TOCK-

6:56 BITES THE FUCK THROUGH her battle staff-

6:57 HEADBUTTS AWAY-her mask-

-where it SHATTERS in mid-air, holy SHIT! ALSO-Maria is pretty-HUZZAH!

Either way this LEADS TOCK-

7:01 -to slash her GOD DAMNED eyes open! All. Within. 60. SECONDS! HOLY SHIT!

Tock high off her victory then starts gloating to the no de-eyed Grimm reaper, mocking her as weak while Maria blindly shoots her gun-scythes-WHILE ALSO-

-throwing one of her weapons behind her, which Tock isn’t worried about at all...for some reason.

*CLICK*

*KER-SLASH* Dead...presumably.

Never doubt the power of purple folks.

8:04 FLASH FORWARD to the present, where everyone in the cart being pulled by a SINGLE motorcycle deals with the fact that they were travelling with THE Grimm Reaper this whole time. Seriously Qrow straight up geeks out a little to, admitting he based his scythe on her weapon...well...just the scythe apparently, also his gun is more of a shot-gun where as hers seemed more like glocks AH whatever.

Maria than gives herself a BIG OLD pity party, mentioning that even after she got her new fancy robot eyes she couldn’t bare to go back out into the field, fearing the danger that comes with battle and...I KNOW she’s clearly going to be Ruby’s mentor, but I ALSO hope she bonds with Yang as well, as holy SHIT she’s similar to Yang.

Both lost appendages during battle, both had said appendages replaced with mechanical accouterments, and BOTH are hilarious! HELL for wall we know Maria also had an almost-girlfriend who ran out on her, another almost girlfriend who got shipped off to Narnia, and a little sister who kept battling because CRIME! 

Hell, she PRACTICALLY acknowledges it-

9:11 Maria: Because some of you are clearly stronger than me all ready.

Yang: *Sad ephiphany face*.

DAMN am I glad she’s part of the group!

After Maria avoids Ruby’s plea to train her to use her magical Grimm zapping super eyes-WE GETS A SCROLL CALL-

Jaune: OH MY GOD I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU ARE YOU ALIVE?!

Ruby: I answered the SCROLL Jaune, the answer is clearly yes.

Jaune: I just miss my friends.

-INFORMING THEM ALL-that they are RIGHT CLOSE TO-

10:20 BASINGSE-I mean-THE WALLED CITY OF ELDIA-wait not...ARGUS-yeah Argus! But FIRST Team RWBYQOM needs to FACE-

-THE STEEPEST HILL ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET! I mean...LOOK AT THAT THING-its huge! Also I love the design of the trees and the grass, its just beautiful!

BUT-through the magic of television-

-THEY’RE ALL READY THERE! Seriously I bet it took them like TWO hours inching down that path. I know construction is always lax in Remnant due to Grimm attacks, but someone NEEDS to make that path safer!

But enough about that-BEHOLD-

-THIS CASTLE WALL-with lots of armed guards on the top! No Titan is gonna sneak up on the city on THEIR watch!

But enough abou that-ITS HUG TIME:

And a billion shippers hearts, just exploded. 

After the love fest, we get-ARGUS SCENERY THROUGH WORLD-BUILDING:

Look at all this, Rooster Teeth’s background budget got WAY bank and they are FLAUNTING that wealth!

This Objects and Oddities lady is my favorite, she’s just SO pissed off, I wander why?

We also see-

-A MOVIE THEATER-showing such brand spanking new films, INCLUDING-

TRYST IN THE MIST-a raunchy tale about a romantic affair that takes place IN THE MIST! Given 4 stars by “Incredibly specific affair based movie” monthly!

...a...MOVIE within a movie apparently...weird.

DEMON IN THE DEEP-one of several monster movies that SOMEHOW exist on Earth-RWBY. I’m just saying, with all the REAL monster attacks, wouldn’t monster movies seem insensitive? SPEAKING of insensitive-

THE FALL...of Beacon...I know I’m not the first to say this but too soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

So bla bla bla, Argus was made to promote trade between kingdoms, bla bla bla, Atlas military has all but abandoned it bla bla bla-LET’S MEET JAUNE’S SISTER!

LOOK AT HER! FEEL-her youthful and adorable mom energy!

And the REST of the episode is PRETTY MUCH just an assortment of adorable images.

Yang playing airplane with baby Adrien(THE CUTENESS).

THE THREE ARMED-flopping Jaune-IN ALL of its glory!

AN INSULTED BOY-

12:56 -and the women who adore him-

AND ALL THE ARC SIBLINGS:

Okay I don’t know HOW many fan-artists are left on Tumblr due to the incoming purge, but I want some ADORABLE web-comics based on this STAT! LOOK AT MINI-JAUNE-he’s so CUTE! And just when you things couldn’t get ANY better-

13:22

Sapphron: Everyone, this is my wife Terra Cotta.

BAM-twenty gay-TEEN mother fuckers!

SUBTLE-Renora sandwich time! Look at these two, YOUNG LOVE mother fuckers!

But more importantly Terra asks THE REAL questions-

Terra: Is that (Bringing students along on dangerous Huntsman missions) even legal?

Qrow: Er, uh, of course!

And I just...LOVE that both Maria and Ruby have the exact same looks on their faces, their both thinking “The closest thing we have to a real chaperone is a bipolar alcoholic...this is what my life has become”.

After a nice little sandwich lunch, and learning that Terra Cotta-Arc is a hardworking radio engineer being unjustly accused of bad mistakes(if there’s ANYONE to blame its Lionheart), while team RWBY decides the best way to GO to Atlas is with the LOCAL MILITARY BASE-which I’m sure will accept them with OPEN AR-

SLAM

Ooooooooooooooooooor not. Hey, its only HALF way through the season, they gots PLENTY of time!

SUMMATION-this easily had one of the BEST action sequences of the ENTIRE season, the backgrounds were BEAUTIFUL and there were just so many cute scenes-TEN OUT OF TEN for me! AND WITH THAT-that’s the end of MICKSTERECAP-if you liked what you read, message me if you want to donate to my Paypal or Ko-Fi. With that I will see you NEXT WEEK-on Mick the Nerd’s a.k.a. Yoshimickster’s MICKSTERECAP! Sorry this one was a bit late!
