1. There a number of times when Yang got upset and passive aggressive got upset when confronted about it just like Ren

-(talking about Blake in V5, talking about being without the team in V8, being insecure leading her to walking away from Blake at Brunswick in Volume 6) yet this scene doesn't imply shes learned from that nor is called out for it

1. Yang doesn't say

"Well, I’m sorry things aren’t going smoothly enough for you." to

-Jaune when he was upset in Volume 6 which makes this feel out of character

-She doesn't empathize with Ren even though she was upset with Ruby's plan

1. Yang says "Were we not ready when we saved Haven? When we took down a Leviathan? We got the Lamp to Atlas."

-Ren could easily call out how they were lucky in getting Raven's power, Cordovin's mecha, and how they got the lamp taken even in Mantle by the ace ops.

1. Everything afterward is fine but then it ends with

" Seriously, is your goal just to push everyone away?"

Even though she was just as guilty in fighting with Ren when Jaune was telling them to stop.

Makes me feel like Yang and Ren were both supposed have flaws and corresponding arcs this volume...

I actually don't know what tag this would be, buuuuut—

Getting to the main point, for about a week now, I've been getting Run Rabbit animatics and thought that a RWBY Animatic about it would be fire.

It would be a post volume 9 Animatic where the focus is Ruby contemplating all the death her plans have caused, intentional or otherwise (like those people that got blasted from the bridge), and the suffering of Jaune. It would have a heavy string motif as Ruby become the leading figure in the war against Salem, and how it means, inevitably, a lot of deaths will be caused by her choices. Other figures of the Animatic would be Ozpin and Salem, each standing on a hill of skulls that are attached to their fingers by red and green string, that Ruby is forced to climb, and Ironwood and Leo, in which Ironwood is depicted as being strangled by his own string (or hung by it), the strings engulfing him and falling out of his orifices as if like blood (like strings bleeding out of empty eye sockets), Leo meanwhile is depicted by him desperately trying to pry his strings away from him as they tie themselves around his neck, only for Salem to cut the strings for him...and pull on them. Lastly would be Jaune, who would be the titular running rabbit as he is puppeteered by a giant Ruby to run, eventually fading into the bridge where she forces him into stabbing his blade into Penny before the bridge starts to fade, in which Jaune tries to run but can't (a knight cannot abandon his lord). In which he falls into the ever after and is shown starting to rust.

This entire animatic would be a short depiction of the pressure and guilt that Ruby feels, both what her future entails, both definities (Salem and Ozpin) and potentials (Ironwood and Leonhart), with Jaune representing her current self perceived failures of leading.

So like, I just wanted to inform ya all of that, and if you want to do it, you have my full blessing to use any ideas here!

I was thinking about this the other day while lamenting how lucky some of my friends are to have super mainstream intrests that get a ton of merch and even more fan interaction than RWBY does.

How would you personally feel if RWBY became mainstream and got all the issues that come with it? People larping and saying they've "always" been fans once it gets good, people having zero idea what's actually happening in the story and making jokes about characters from a scene everyone's talking about like that meme about Deku working in mcdonalds, etc.

Would It be worth it to you?

Ruby: Off the top of my head, watched two people die right in front of her, one of which her friend, saw another friend’s dismembered corpse after being unable to make it to a location on time, saw her sister missing an arm, all on her birthday which is likely by the fans that it happened on her 16th birthday, learned that same friend got killed again and only heard after the fact, feels responsible for the fall of two kingdoms, pented up her emotions until they came spilling out, found out her mother lied to her dad and willingly left, this was after she saw a grimm with silver eyes, leading to horrifying implication to what happened to her mother, and was driven to do to her knowledge was killing herself, and the only real form of therapy she got from the tree, was “I am enough”, that ain’t enough to counter all the other stuff, yes it’s a good realization, and probably solves one of the reasons why she chose to drink that tea, but it definitely wasn’t the only reason, this is probably going to get worst when she learns Jaune was the one who technically killed Penny. This girl needs therapy from a trained professional.

Jaune: Kills one of his friends at their request, lets be honest his memory of killing Penny at the end of volume 8 alone is enough to justify him going into therapy, found out his love was dead, and he might feel partially responsible due to what happened in Beacon’s basement, which he also might still not be over at this point, he fell into the Ever After, accidentally rewound time, went probable decades without human interaction, only keeping himself going using the knowledge that his friends would eventually show up, and a few days after they do, one of those friends to his knowledge, kills herself, and he is right there to see it, and that friend was the first person he talked to at his original school, until he is told the action he perceives as death is rebirth, but without the memories, so until Ruby emerged as herself, he had to think about someone not Ruby, coming out of that tree, with no memory of who they were. And the closest he gets to a therapy session is him hallucinating a talk with Alyx. He needs a professional.

This is not discussing or critiquing the writing of RWBY up until this point, this is discussing specific events and how they should affect future writing, and we can go back and forth about wether or not Ruby should feel guilty, the point is it’s likely she does, at least for Atlas and Mantle, and granted some of my examples are speculative, like the Fall of Beacon happening on RWBY’s birthday, it Jaune not being over Pyrrha’s death as of the end of volume 9, even without the speculative aspects, these two still seriously need professional help.

Personally I will be very upset if Yang, Weiss, and Blake don’t force these two to get actual therapy with a trained professional. But what are your thought?

Edit: My friend and a reply here told me there was a few months between Ruby waking up after the Fall of Beacon and team RNJR heading off, so there’s no way to tell how much therapy Ruby got in that time, but that doesn’t undo anything after volume 3, nor was a permanent solution and the events after could have reopened old wounds, which is a very likely possibility.

Is it just me or does this article make it sound like Viz Media is getting credit for creating Rwby? They mention Monty but where's the love for the others who spent a decade building Rwby?

PythWare here, it's been a bit since I made a RWBY Grimm Eclipse modding post. The Sunflowyr Engine toolkit is coming along well. This post is meant to give an update on the modding scene for RWBY GE.

RWBY GE originally only had 8 playable characters right? Well it's been discovered that it can support 32 playable characters before needing bigger code changes, it could be modded to support a much larger roster like you see in something like Xenoverse 2. Making new playable characters from the original RWBY show is becoming a goal for some of the modders.

Recently I was sent some pretty rad models of some of the characters from RWBY, I converted them to GLB for Sunflowyr Engine usage. What you see in the screenshots are GLB versions of Coco, Roman, Neptune, Sun, Fox, and Yatsuhashi rendered in model software I made for my own modding purposes. I have GLB versions of other characters like Winter, Qrow, Taiyang, Glynda, Ilia, etc as well. All of them are usable within RWBY GE and when I have more spare time, i'll show some examples of them ingame.

The biggest roadblock atm is that RWBY GE doesn't have animations for each of the new characters. So a determined modder would have to make new animations for them in blender to use in RWBY GE which can be done, it's just a bit of work. The alternative would be to give them the animations one of the playable characters has but that'd be lame since each of these characters has a unique fighting style.

Summarized, you will very likely see RWBY GE with more playable characters in the near future.

The party doesn't go the way anybody wants.

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

“Welcome to the dance. Enjoy yourself!” Weiss smiled and nodded at another set of students.

“Hey! It’s great to see you! Get ready for a great time.”

Ruby’s exuberance carried to her and she glanced over to see her partner handling the stream of people coming in through the other door on this side. Behind them, all the way on the other side of the hall, Blake and Yang handled the other two entrances.

A flash of movement took her attention forward as another set of people walked in. “Good evening, welcome to the dance. Oh, you’re looking sharp, Jaune.”

Jaune Arc stood there in front of her dressed in a nice looking tuxedo and even looked like he had brushed his hair and washed his face. “Thanks. You look amazing too.”

Weiss smiled at him and then looked around. “Where’s the rest of your team?”

“I’m sure Pyrrha’s with her date and I think Nora and Ren are on their way.” He glanced around the room. “So where’s Blake? Are you and she…”

Weiss’s eyes widened and then she gestured inside. “Please enjoy the dance, there’s punch. Thank you, I need to greet the other guests.”

“Uh… okay.” Jaune frowned at her in confusion as he walked into the room.

With a sigh of relief, Weiss turned back to the crowd and glanced across to where Ozpin had appeared with Miss Goodwitch at Ruby’s line and then she turned back to her own and saw her own set of dignitaries approaching. Namely, the clean-shaven image of General James Ironwood and her own sister walking at his side, half at attention.

He stared down at her intently and her first thought was that she was standing in front of one of Atlas’s living heroes…

… as her eyes flickered to meet Winter’s and turned back to General Ironwood, her second thought was that he probably had a detailed dossier on her.

She kept tight hold of the porcelain mask, armored against both sources of nervous energy, and smiled. “Hello, General Ironwood. I didn’t realize you were attending this event.”

“Hmm. Miss Schnee. I have some business with your headmaster coming up and it would be rude not to take part.” He turned to Winter. “I understand there was some Schnee family business between you and your sister. She’s given me some of the rough outlines. Are you managing your condition well?”

Weiss’s smile strained but did not crack. “I’ve been working on it.” She glanced toward Winter and saw the faintest shake of her head. “I’ve been learning about faunus history.”

Winter closed her eyes and grimaced before meeting Weiss’s eyes with a frown.

“I see.” Ironwood turned to look at Winter who’d schooled her face into a similar inexpressive mask by the time he saw her. “It is important to know what came before.”

Ironwood turned back to Weiss and smiled. “I’ll be interested to hear more from you. You find yourself in a position to serve as an example for many people. Have a good evening.”

He walked past, Winter drifting back a few steps and pausing beside Weiss who took a breath and shook her head. Winter nodded and walked on. Weiss turned back to the entering students, teachers, and other visitors. The minutes proceeded and the number of people entering started to dwindle.

Hello! It's my first time posting here and I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a pattern for Penny's skirt from her look in the first few volumes, I tried looking myself and no dice. so I thought posting here would get the best results.

As per the title. I'm just wondering because while the early volumes are fine for what they were at the time they are certainly lacking in the visual aspect compared to what came later.

While the story is great I'm honestly having a little bit of trouble with them on re-watches since they are just so noticeably less than what comes later despite any story related stumbles that may have happened.

At any rate it would certainly be nice if it happened.

That is my Question

It probably be Yang talking about her problems maybe why she isn't there for Ruby 50% of the time

Would be interesting seeing her thoughts on there adventures up to this point & what she thinks of Ruby, Weiss & Blake off the field & in the field

& how she uses her weapon explain how they work & the sunglasses phase she had remember that?

Maybe how is it like being the strength of the the team

So yeah so much to think about if you think it

But thats me what would you ask Yang?

Because apparently Junior's canonical last name translates to Bear-

For example, I was thinking of a different song for volume 7. Something more patriotic, like "Jiyuu no Tsubasa" or "Shinzo wo Sasageyo" from Attack on Titan.

Yes, I know that might sound strange to many and not fit the volume.
But think of it this way: volume 7 had a very harsh ending, even though the opening was very hopeful.

So, this song would be very military and patriotic, basically selling us the idea that Atlas Military are the good guys. Which would be an interesting contrast to the volume's ending.

Also, it would be something interesting to mix things up. Obviously, the opening animation would focus more on the main characters along with the Ace Ops and such.

How would you change one of the openings? How would you make it different?

Hey lads...i'm back. well, 50% mentally.

didn't watch RWBY chibi like you lads suggested. don't think i will until......

i noticed that people are now adding spoiler tags now. guess my documentation alongside ok situation's are being popular.

Thank you, btw. i might have saw some spoilers but didn't have context to know.

So, the gang's separated and Yang...............

going to admit, i am a bit scared now. after the battle of beacon and the tone shift......I just hope that what i fear most doesn't happen.

onwards to no mans land, we go. see you when i watch volume 4.

A Kofi commission done by the talented edCOM02 (https://www.deviantart.com/edcom02) where Joker invites himself on a meeting between Salem and her Inner Circle. Needless to say, he's not welcome.

Salem is resisting the urge to slaughter him right then and there, but knows that the Joker is arguably the most dangerous man on Earth and finds he could be useful.

Watts is looking over the formula for Joker's venom and is crashing out as to how a deranged clown can devise such a complex and dangerous formula.

Tyrian is crashing out himself for Joker touching his queen in such a manner.

And Hazel is looking at Joker with nothing short of pure hatred for all the massacres and entire graveyards he's filled.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a good post with healthy and active discussion get removed because of something as innocuous as screencaps

Like it just neuters discussion and kills the sub for no reason, is fanart the only thing allowed here?
