A somewhat sorted fic list http://pastebin.com/NyBwmzVf
Not like it'll really change anything, really. Neptune being a thing didn't stop WR in the first place, same way Sun didn't kill BY.
>>1896987
>Anyone hiding their feelings isn't worth it
So it's not that Ruby and Weiss aren't together because they're not meant to be, it's because Ruby doesn't understand tsunderes yet.I'm sure there are lots of "feelings" Weiss could help Rubles understand.
>>1896987
Di someone really aks that? That's just bad taste.
Personally, I'm glad that Ruby won't be involved in any romance bullshit in canon.
why does RT hate WR so much?
>>Can't wait for Vol 3 and the game to come out.
>>Can't wait to play as Yang and make constant puns.
>>Yang: "Hey Weiss wanna hear a joke?"
>>Ruby: "SIS-- DON--"
>>Weiss: "I guess."
>>Yang: "What did one ocean say to the other?"
>>Weiss: "Idk what?"
>>Yang: Nothing, hewaved.
>>*Blake chuckles*
>>Weiss: ...
>>Yang: Did youseawhat I did there?
>>Weiss: ...
>>Yang: "Are youshore?
>>Yang: I did it onporpoise.
>>*Blake is trying hard not to laugh*
>>Weiss: Wow..
>>Ruby: YANG STO--
>>Yang: "Ruby you need toclamdown."
>>Ruby: "YANG!"
>>Yang: "Too much stress isn't good for yourmusselsRuby!"
>>Weiss: "Ok Yang very funn--"
>>Yang: "whaleare you getting so mad for?"
>>Ruby: "YAAAAANNNNGGG!!"
>>*Blake bursts out laughing*
>>1897020
I don't think it's hate, maybe it's just not wanting to pull Ruby into that whole dumb mess. Good call if they stick with it.
Obligatory

What?

What did I miss
>>1897020
It's ok, she admitted to being a Nuts & Dolts fan
new henceforward chapter from kumaaa
>>1897041
I'd be a better call, if they left Weiss, Blake and Yang out of the mess as well.
>>1897103
2 Henceforward chapters in a month! There is a God!Convert my religion now, because her name is Kuma
Well sisters, new episode this Sat/Sun. Here's to it being not complete shit and hopefully starting everything offwith a Yangon an at least mildly average note.I'm gonna be gone without internet for the week starting tomorrow and just hope I don't come back to a Neptune-related shitstorm. Please RT.
>>1897124
All we can do is hope.I think I might actually cry if they manage to fuck up that badly.
>>1897124
Roosterteeth.com won't let me play videos on my tablet, so I'll probably have to wait until it goes on Youtube.
Aha, there is still hope!
>>1897142
Don't worry sister, /co/ has people that can get the episode the same time as the sponsors, so I'll post the link we get it. It's an actual link, not RT itself, so hopefully you'll be able to watch
>>1897157
when* we get it
>>1897157
Aw, thanks for sharing this possible train wreck with the rest of us, Sis!
>>1897091
that makes me feel a bit better. still WR is the real OTP for me.....
>>1897172
As a WR shipper, that honestly.. kind of left me feeling numb.
>>1897181
Don't worry anon, Barb and Arryn ship bumblebee and look how much relevance that gives it in canon. Not exactly the happiest way to look at things but... well, there it is.
>>1897181
yeah but for me i also like Nuts and Bolt though more in the friendship kind of way. i don't follow the show anymore but i still love the girls mainly because of the awesome femslash fandom's content while keeping the main lovable character traits intact.
tempted to watch s3 though i'll probably wait for more fan reactions/information about the story when it has aired for a while. s2 has completely made me lose all respect and trust for RT.
>>1897188
that does give me a bit of hope even i'm one of the unpopular few who doesn't really feel attached to Bumblebee.
How high are your expectations of the upcoming manga adaptation?
>>1897196
go full yuri or go home.
>>1897196
The best expectation is to have no expectations, all you do is open yourself to disappointment.
>>1897207
this.
It's a bit of a bummer to see Lindsay say that, but don't read too much into it. Don't forget that Weiss' VA wants her to be paired with Jaune, and we all know that's got a snowball's chance in hell of happening.
>>1897207
My only real expectation is that the fanbase will continue to create good yuri.
I understand their 'innocence' angle they're playing Ruby at. Despite being 15 she's the sort of kid archetype that just doesn't get written with romance in mind.
I could see them giving her romantic life some thought when she's older, if the show lasts long enough for the girls to get a few more years under their belt.
>>1897253
Addendum: "thought" means the writers will start thinking about how Weiss will go about unleashing three years of sexual frustration on her finally-legal partner.
>>1897257
Unless the age of consent is 16 or 17, which it should be, considering the high rate of death in the confines of the universeThen she'd only have to wait 1-2 years...
>>1897253
>Don't forget that Weiss' VA wants her to be paired with Jaune
I'm always so legitimately surprised when people confess to likeing that one. Out of the possible choices of ship in this fandom, that's the one for you, ehh actors.
>>1897156
>>1897260
Our Homoqueen can wait that long for that sweet sweet Rubles.
All the built up sexual tension will make their firsthand holdingall the more satisfying.
>>1897253
Don't worry too much about Lisndey and Kara. They're indifferent to the fandom 90% of the time anyways. The fun VA's are Barb and Arryn, even if they are teasing, they acknowledge our exsiatnce.
>>1897196
Go big or go home, sis.
If RT had anysemblanceof a brain left, they'd allow full creative freedom for the manga, allowing for a better plot line, more character development, well designed action and dialogue, and of course, the allowance of yuri ships.sisters, we may be able to leave our submarines soon
>>1897260
Maybe not 16-17 for citizens, but yeah Hunters/Huntress' (even in training) should have lower ages of consent. Risking their lives for humanity, hell yeah they should get to live a little.
>>1897286
Died a little inside. How is this a thing?!
>>1897196
>>1897382
I'm honestly expecting it to be the show in manga form: same sad plot, same shitty developments, relatively better-looking art. M&K wouldn't dare let anything better than their own ideas be published officially.which is why I would pay to see various RT cast, including Miles, Kerry, and the VAs live reaction to Henceforward
>>1897435
I think at least one of them do read Henceforward though, since they do follow Kuma's blog. She's kind of the biggest content producer in the fandom anyways, and her presence in the fandom is quite large as well.
I would not say I'm totally ok with Henceforward plot line, but it has many awesome moments and it pushes WR so it's still much superior to the show itself to me.
Speaking of Kuma and paying to see things, her commission page is back up. Do you know what that means?
Ruby in a suit!
I'm willing to pay for it, but what do you guys want to see?

>http://kumafromtaiwan.tumblr.com/post/94138566686/kumas-commissions-is-open-again-thank-you-for
I do want it, but it seems like she has increased her commission price by quite a large margin.
>>1897196
apparently it's just a prequel adaptation based on the trailers
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/22/rwby-season-3-rooster-teeth
>>1897487
God damn, why does this trailer give so much more hype than the previous one? This one actually made me excited!
>“Season 20 is happening,” adds Jones.”Noworries.”
Eh, /u/ thinks it'll last till season 4 apparently. I give it till 6 or 7 if it doesn't go downhill from hereor unless Iceberg becomes canon.
>>1897496
i am beyond ready for this season. also lol at disguised neo for those few seconds she shows up
>>1897496
Or one of them dies.
>>1897497
That's Neo? Since when does Neo have green eyes? I think that's someone else?
>>1897505
also who else would be cinders 4th team member
>>1897508
nah, looks kinda different
more gothic lolita
>>1897512
i ment the pic top right
>>1897512
And in the background, on Monty's monitor, is Neo in that green eyed girl's outfit.
>>1897513
wait no never mind, i can make out the ribbon and the frills
yeah it's her
>>1897522
no other character has that much smug
it's totally ice cream loli
>>1897524
>loli
Ned's closer to a shortstack than loli
>>1897522
Her semblance is illusions, yo.
you think we see raven in this tournament?
>>1897474
If the sisters want other stuff, I'm all for it, but Rubles in a suit is life.
We need more of it. Preferably with Ruby and Weiss at a formal event, and Ruby is trying to dance, but keeps screwing up and apologizing, with Weiss scolding her gently, and loving every minute of it.
>>1897156
So she didn't find WR cute..
>>1897474
How about Summer in a Suit with Winter and/or Raven off to the side looking at her with longing glances.
Or I suppose Raven/Winter since drawing Summer without her cloak is probably a stretch.
>>1897616
maybe not in the tournament, but she's definitely show up sooner rather than later
>>1897688Good taste.
>>1897715
So, are we getting Episodes 1 AND 2 this weekend, then not getting Episode 3 till two weeks later?
http://www.idigitaltimes.com/rwby-new-york-comic-con-2015-panel-reveals-volume-3-details-video-games-and-manga-481017
Also,if Neo has a big role in Volume 3, I'll cream my panties. I didn't realize that green-eyed, raven-haired gal was probably her.
>>1897802
I just find WR to bepretty boring compared to the cuteness that is RubyxPenny.
>>1897808
>>1897715
Lindsay, please gotell Barbara we're onto /u/ two.
>>1897808
WhiteRose is deliciously tsundere. Nuts-and-Dolts is innocuously endearing.
>>1897505
You do know Neo can change her iris colour, right?
>>1897812
Linsday and Barb? Nah, Barb and Arryn strike me as the bisexuals.
>>1897826
I doubt /u/ comes up on their radar much, but if anyone were then it would be Social Media Director Dunkelman.
>>1897815
I suppose.
>>1897826
Getting the sense of Dejavu again
Anyways, Barb and Arryn probably don't lurk /u/, but they like the yuri ships, and that's all they need to be sisters around here.
Besides, we all knowKarais the one who stashed all the WR art away for no one to ever find, only to be caught by Barb one day, and Barb shows her stash of BB art.
Late to the party here, just saw the Volume 3 opening.
>Qrow was on a team with Summer, his sister
>Winter was very close/in love with Summer
>they were both devastated when Summer died in a botched huntress job or something and each blames the other for not being there to protect her
>now Qrow and Winter have this deep-seated feud between them
guys what if the skater girl is a red herring and Winter is the real lesbian
>>1897886
Qrow is Raven's sister, not Summer's
>>1897886
>>Winter was very close/in love with Summer
FUCKING YES! Mayxdecember has actual backstory that's a legitimate plot point. Oh god, this is great. I'm so happy that Winter was older.Qrow's sister was Raven cause they're in the same familyget it :^)
>>1897890
You have successfully crushed whatever joy I just had with your speculation, good show.
>>1897892
Nope, she's pretty dead
>>1897896
Something tells me this might not be the right board for you.
>>1897899
I love that idea "summer x winter" but she dead summer so............... :/
>>1897893
I'm sorry oneesan. Have a cute.
For what it's worth though I wouldn't invest too much in any ships related to Summer because, y'know, she's dead.
>>1897902
If only I liked WR more than just as a background pairing. While yes any sort of further romance kind runs into the wall known as death. Any sort of evidence about Winter and Summer knowing each other opens up the door known as backstory, and possibly delicious angst about Winter seeing Summer in Rubleswho she may or may not view as her childdepends on the level of the relationship Summer and Winter had.
>>1897903
where prove winter and summer to know each other?
>>1897903
>>1897899
Easy anon, I think their english isn't too good and they are probably new here.

There's no proof, we are just talking about what we hope for.

>Not knowing/interacting in the show defeats relationships

Go away Bloodborn, I don't want to think about a rwby game inspired by you.
>>1897918
Clever.This is normally where I'd write a short blurb about a Bloodborne inspired RWBY AU, but I haven't played Bloodborne, so consider yourself lucky.
>>1897924
Why thank you.Despite the fact that I have played bloodborne, I'm not sure how I well I'd dooutside of saying Rubles would be Gehrman's alt and Qrow would be father Gascoigne.
That trailer looks awesome, as all their trailers do. Problem is, I stopped watching about half-way through volume 2 (at the glorious Yang-to-Blake "I love it when you're feisty").
>>1897926
Welp, I have a new ship. Damn you.

>>1897930
I'd love to see that.
The cast of RWBY in bloodborne. Either in art or fic, that'd be a good change from the typical school setting.

That...went better than I expected.Disappointed Ruby won't be in the final roundseriously, does anyone remember that she's supposed to be the main character?, butYang and Weiss are RWBY's best options.
Still, better keep low expectations, cause when JNPR wins their fight, their gonna send out Jaune and Pyrrha (though Pyrrha and Nora would be the best option).SSSN hasn't shown up yet, so keeping my hopes low
>>1898154
I honestly can't help you, I don't know jack about this kind of file. Try using your phone, it's worked for most of /co/. If it's an android, choose to use android system > video player, don't download it
>>1898153<3
>>1898155
We're 2 seasons in, and Ruby doesn't make any progress as a Huntress and is still not the center focus?
Christ RT. get it together.
At least SSSN isn't around.
>>1898133
They are also the causes of most of this shit storms in the fandom such as
>muh OTP
>"Iceberg is a legit ship!"
I usually have other people go onto tumblr for yuri art to avoid any interaction with them.
>>1898138
Thanks so much for the link, sis. Worked fine on my tablet, except it crashed during the credits. Looking forward to seeing it on my monitor.
So we're just getting one episode this weekend? Or was that considered a double-episode?Best girl is still best girl!

>>1898155
>Ruby won't be in the final round.
Of course not. She isn't the main character. Why would you think she is? Just because her name is in the title?
Juane is the real MC.
>>1898166
> SSSN isn't around.
Yet. This season will be ruined by them in one way or another, I guarantee it.
>>1898172
I would honestly think people outside of RT liking/supporting Iceberg was a myth had I not read fanfics with them as a side ship beforeThey're mostly action fics. The stories aren't bad, nice action, little focus on romance, but no taste in ships
>>1898182
jesus, RT, just give him his own spin-off show already, don't even name it 'JNPR', name it 'Jaune' so we can get back to watching our girls kick assand be gay as all hell.
>>1898138
Tyvm sis!
Worked for me fine on android
>>1898138
I don't get why Weiss and Yang are moving forward considering they don't have good synergy and I would argue Weiss seems the weakest combat wise and feels more of a support role for the team, hopefully something happens either Weiss or Yang get switched out for at least Ruby or our "apparent" MC Blake
>>1898202
They could be lying to hide their strats but I doubt it. an outside force could also cause a roster change
>>1898202
Because of the reasons you stated. Yang is the tank and Weiss is the perfect support. You just need to watch the episode to see how well they showcased that.
>>1898138
>that fucking still of Ruby's dad at the beginning
Going form a legitimately quite touching scene to that paralysed me with laughter.
>>1898202
Yang, even without her semblance, is probably the only tank in team RWBY, as well as being the heaviest hitter. Weiss, though probably the weakest in taking hits and dealing them, is the most diverse fighter thanks to her glyphs and mastery over dust and elements. Her fight in this episode alone has shown how much her abilities have grown since the Nevermore fight in V1, showing a serious growth in gravitational elements alone.
>>1898155
>Ruby won't be in the final round
Expected and typical.
It would be an ok thing to do if Ruby actually did stuff pertaining to the main "plot" and the tournament gets sidelined in favor of her exploits, but this is M&K and M&K can't write to save their lives.
Ruby's non-favoritism is so deeply rooted into the story now, they'll never find a way to fix it, if they even give a shit.
They're trying to make it look like Ruby will face off with Cynder this season, the current big bad, no doubt due to the fact that tophat guy (can't remember his name) had more rivalry with Blake than Ruby the previous seasons. But instead of making Cynder be an independent antagonist working her own, much more grandiose angle, lo and behold, she's just a lackey to Adam, who, surprise, is once again a personal antagonist to Blake.
Seriously, Fuck You "writers". I can seriously imagine them patting their backs at how original they think this shit is.Stop patting your backs you fuckers.
>>1898155
>Rubbles won't be in the final round.
Fucking dropped. Seriously RT? How many volumes until we get to focus on the MAIN character of the show? At this point they should just stop pretending that she's the main character and just rename the show to something else. Let's see how many useless "supporting characters" get to steal screen time from RWBY on this volume.
>>1898261
Agreed. I'll just wait till a few dedicated sisters here watch it all and spoil it for me.
What the fuck, RT? Pull up your panties and focus on fucking RWBY. Not pointless filler, not new characters, just RWBY. They are what we came to this show in the first place.
Stop giving yourself credit for a job well done you egotistical fucks, I am completely unsatisfied with this episode, and when your 3 seasons in, and you haven't learned a goddamn thing, that's when people drop the show.Back to the submarines, sisters. It'll be safe there.
>>1898280
Or Team RWBY loses an early roundmaybe to JNPR, maybe to SSSNand JNPR, led by Jaune in the final round, takes the victory. Hell.
>>1898255
>>1898261
>>1898266
>>1898280
We don't know she won't be in the final round -- there could be a personnel change. Or maybe the plot will require its most important character not to be the one competing in the final, like the previous onee-san said.
I don't deny the frustration with deuteragonists (JAUNE) getting too much screen-time. It would suck to lose sisters from the threads because it's perceived that the issue isn't being corrected quickly enough.
...In other news, Episode 2 next weekend and then nothing the weekend after: http://roosterteeth.com/post/51181901
>>1898290
>It would suck to lose sisters from the threads because it's perceived that the issue isn't being corrected quickly enough.
He had like one line this episode, people are just bitching for the sake of bitching at this point.
>>1898235
This. Thank you.
>>1898330
While I can agree with the reasoning, I still want to see Rubbles in the final round. But who knows? Maybe the tournament only lasts the first half of the season.
>>1898290
>RT having a change of heart this far in
Doubt it. But hey, doesn't hurt to be positive as long as your prepared for disappointment.
>>1898346
My hopes aren't too high, but I'm not giving up this early.
I'll give them till episode three.
We're getting some sort of LGBTQ+ character this season (hopefully more than one)
I'm hoping Winter is comingout.But Baked Alaska is my trash-ship.

>>1898290
>>1898266
Ruby not being in the finals was good writing, honestly. I was pleasantly surprised by it.
NW gets it. >>1898235
Ruby is absolutely the least capable fighter on the entire team.
Yang is significantly stronger, more experienced, generally better in combat and has a semblance well suited to matches like these.
Weiss is a similar damage output, more experienced, a better fighter, more tactical and has extremely strong magic allowing her to turn any given situation to her favor.
Blake is less strong in terms of outright damage, but is much, much more experienced than any of the others, is a very skilled fighter, and has a powerful 1v1 semblance.
Compare that to Ruby, who has less experience than everyone else, is not a very hard hitter, has a semblance of moderate usefulness within the confines of the small ring and unpredictable terrain, and has a fighting style more suited to fighting large amounts of weak enemies than a couple skilled, strong opponents.
They made the logical choice. The second I heard the doubles thing, I was really hoping RT wouldn't choose WR for it.
The best choice imo would have been Yang and Blake, not because I ship that, I can't stand the ship, but because they are the two with the most actual combat experience and the two whose skill sets are most suited for combat in a 2v2 or 1v1 situation against a strong opponent.
>>1898261
but MUH MUH JPRN
>>1898433
but rubbles...
Then again, she'll probably have some other enemy to fight.
>>1898261
Soneone actually pointed out a while back that Blake is more or less the stealth protagonist of the show. She has more involvement in the plot and has more stake in the outcome of whatever goes down. Ruby is pretty much the Vaan of RWBY.
>>1898435
M&K pls
>>1898353
Winter is coming, she's always comingwhen thinking about Summer
>>1898444
>Soneone actually pointed out a while back that Blake is more or less the stealth protagonist of the show. She has more involvement in the plot and has more stake in the outcome of whatever goes down. Ruby is pretty much the Vaan of RWBY.
And the amateur writing continues. Good god, do any of them having any professional screen writing experience?
>>1898468
Nope. RT is extremely nepotistic. Why hire professionals when you can hire people you know?
>>1898460
What would the ship name for Summer and Winter be?
I need to know this
>>1898506
Autumn?
>>1898506
I want to call it Christmas in July, for whatever reason.

>>1898433
>Ruby is absolutely the least capable fighter on the entire team.
And this is exactly the bullshit writing RT should be ashamed of. Ruby was meant to be that socially awkward prodigy who lives for fighting. And instead she even sucks in fighting.
>>1898613
Did you watch the trailer?
Ruby is going to be the guardian of Remnant or something.
>>1898613
>Ruby was meant to be that socially awkward prodigy who lives for fighting. And instead she even sucks in fighting.
RT really needs to stop watching Korra
>>1898617
As long as it means canon /u/ I don't care
>>1898613
She's meant to be a socially awkward young teen who is gifted as a fighter and will surely become a very skilled huntress and/or prodigy. Which is exactly what she is. She's skipped years and been admitted into an extremely prestigious fighting school.
It's not that she sucks, is that there are a lot of people who are better. The whole point of the show is that the characters start off as dumb kids and grow, not that they start off as unbeatable monster slayers and continue to be unbeatable monster slayers.
There are so many issues with the show's writing, why do you girls complain about the stuff that makes sense?
>>1898629
Yeah, a lot of students are better than her. Like Jaune. That's why he gets so much screen time!
On a more serious/less convoluted note, it is good thing Ruby isn't the strongest - granted, probably has the most destructive weapon in her year - because that allows growth. We can see Ruby become the strongest over the yearseven though the show won't last past v5 in /u/'s opinion.
However, we can't watch her grow if she never fights. Plus, most of the fighting Team RWBY did in v2 kinda made this situation hard to believe for some of the viewers.

I mean I guess, I'd like more opinions on the possibility. I did like Seasonal Love.

I guess some of you guys don't follow Kuma's blog, but seriously it's been out for a whole week.
posting this to feed my need for more Neo flavored manipulative yandere loving.
>>1898718Now that Neo is getting her infiltration on, the situation has never been more ripe for this kinds of scenarios.
>>1898712
Yah gotta remember that some of us don't dare touch tumblr, sis.
>>1898720I hope so onee-san. I need more of this kinda scenario in my life.
>>1898723
If you're on 4chan, you can handle tumblr. There's not much of a difference, really - tumblr just has more yaoi and het near the yuri.
>>1898727
There is a difference in terms of user attitudes. If yer there to collect art, its a breeze, but interacting with others is scary to most 4chan users, so they avoid tumblr at all costs.
>>1898728
Not that anon but you don't have to interact with damn near anyone if you go straight to a user's page.

There is just as much cringe on 4chan as there is on tumblr, only what specific type it is different. No need to pretend tumblr is any worse.
>>1898138
So, I promised I'd be back with a mega upload. Unfortunately, it still requires VLC, and it crashes for me around the 8:50 mark (can be resolved simply by restarting and skipping to 8:52-53):

You mean Jaune who didn't even train unlike Ruby and already killed Grimm by swinging his sword with eyes closed? Wow, maybe Rubles should also not have trained before so hard! She'd be even better now!
Remember the time when great Ruby got bitch slapped by White Fang mook? She's really growing. Backwards.
>>1898744
Of course there's cringe on both websites, I'm merely stating why some users of 4chan avoid tumblr.
>>1898929
That would be a reasonable position, except it's not the first episode of the series. You don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore after you're already on your third season and nothing has changed.
>>1898929
It's the third season. They have already fucked up. The only question is whether or not they can unfuck things. So far, it doesn't seem like they can.
>>1898934
Change comes with time.
So my hopes are low, but I haven't given up just yet.
Though I can't say I blame you if you have.
>>1898942
I think that's what some of the people on /u/ does: watch the show, but keep our hopes low enough so wheneven moreshit hits the fandom, we aren't destroyed by the weight of our crushed hopes. Then keep watching to see how badly they can fuck it up from there.
That's my view on it, but if Iceberg becomes a thing, I'm dropping the show until /u/ says it's safe to come back out.
>>1898946
What about Iceberg becoming a thingas a vehicle for Weiss to discover her true homo-self?
>>1898959
Still complete shit.
>>1898959
Don't even joke about that!
But seriously, I'd take it. Shit as it is, it's better than nothing.
>>1898959
While I find this idea a good segway into homoqueen coming out, i doubt RT could properly write a scenario such as this, correctly.
I mean, if you have to announce an LGBT character in the show, just to appease queerbait accusations, you know they clearly have no idea what they are doing.Though half of the /u/ fandom would begin falling into rapture if Iceberg became more prominent, before our gay princess can even come out.
Plus, Weiss is too good for him
>>1898959
Reading Nature's Wrath, that's actually what happens in a flashback.Yang breaks the news to Weiss about the heiress being, and I quote, "gayer than a rainbow", then Neptune tells Weiss to go after Ruby.
>>1898979
He's a womanizer; he tried to hit on literally everything with two legs and breasts (except for Blake and Ruby) that he was on screen with, of course Weiss is too good for him! Why would M&K thing differently?! It’s as if Weiss were to fall for Jaune at the beginning of the show instead of putting him in his place.
>>1898987
These are the people who had Blake tell all her business to a guy she just met after he was running from the cops.
>>1899176
That makes sense, though. She didn't want her friends to find out about her shady past. It's not uncommon for people to confess something to a complete stranger just for the sake of getting it off their chest, without risking any social backlash (see: church confessionals)
if rwby is japanese creation maybe they are "subtext" yuri but is american creation so they are no subtext yuri
just wait manga adaptation ^^ where is sure they are a little yuri subtext
>>1899258
I'm hoping for some actual yuri. But that's probably too much to ask.
>>1898921
Which isn't a secret. Anyone who's not a newfag would know that most sites (4chan included) tend to shit all over tumblr. But the excuse of "wah I don't want to interact with tumblrinas" doesn't apply in this case when you don't have to, at all.
Anyhow, back to yuri.
>>1899262
If all they deliver is subtext, it would already be a million times better than RT's shit.
>>1899289
Hell, if they deliver in basic storytelling elements, it'll be better than RT.
>>1899291
It's funny because it's true. It's also depressing for the same reason.
>>1899300
It's pretty saddening, alright. At least our fellow writefags do good work.
I wonder if RT is known that the fan want yuri ?
>>1899330
They might be incompetent and a million other things but they aren't fucking blind.
The top ten pairings in ff.net are overwhelmingly dominated by /u/ ships, there are five time as many /u/ pairings than there are het pairings. Hell, just White Rose and Bumblebee tags have twice as many fics as the rest of the top ten combined.
>>1899330
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMGpOraOoDc
They're pretty familiar with it. Kara (Weiss), and Lindsay (Ruby) aren't big fans of it, but Barbara (Yang) and Arryn (Blake) have fun with the audience being fans of Bumblebee.Also, not all fans want yuri, sadly. Plenty of the super dedicated RT fanbase is fine with het and doesn't think the show has any problems at all.
>>1899241
Let's pretend M&K aren't hacks and that Blake knows what happens to people who leave the white fang and what happens to Tukson happens regularly. Why would she randomly open up to a guy who was first seen running from the cops? What if he was white fang and there was a bounty on her head?
It's a forced relationship just like iceberg.
>>1899341
CAUSE OF MUH ARKOS AND SHEEEIT
>>1899391
You found another plot hole in M&K's amazing writing? Place it in that gigantic pile in the corner.
>>1899268
Completely agree
>>1899341
Pretty much everyone in the /u/ fandom had a ball with this. While i love the time and effort they spend in acknowledging our existence and delving into the fandom that isn't the rabid RT fanboys or hetfags, they're teases, and have no real impact on the outcome of the show at all.Arryn and Barb, if your here, I love you guys, but Christ, your killing me here. You guys are too cute.
>>1899391
>Blake knows what happens to people who leave the white fang and what happens to Tukson happens regularly
By all accounts, she shouldn't. The White Fang she left and the White Fang under Cinder are two different things. Blake refused to believe they'd be doing this sort of thing at first and even then tried to appeal to them. Not to mention it wasn't the White Fang that were hunting down deserters, It was Roman and Cinder's minions.
So RT hates yuri is the jist of their opinions?
>>1899532
I don't necessarily think they hate it, it's just something they aren't really used to. Their most popular show has a total of 4, maybe 5 girls total, with one or two of them being main characters, and even then, their only main characters during their arcs.
RWBY, on the other hand, has 100000 girls in it, and are seeing another side to their fans that would creep most normies out, for lack of a better term. They aren't used to seeing their characters portrayed as LGBTQ+ yet. Probably because they haven't even thought about such things themselves. They don't have that friend that they can go to for advice or help on the subject, so they can't really write it well.It doesn't help that they aren't exactly the research type
>>1899536
This post is riddled with typos, screw university shit
>>1899536
So basically, there's no hope for WhiteRose or Bumblebee? That kills RWBY for me. Especially since Sun, Neptune, and Jaune are going to be taking the the hands of team RWBY.
>>1899542
See, THIS is why we told you this wasn't the board for you.
>>1899541
And don't forget that Ruby is mentally retarded and cannot understand, understand the concept of love.
>>1899542
Out of all those possibilities only one might have any importance to it and that's super mega vanilla Arkos which in and of itself doesn't take much to work with. Even if Pyrrha could do better. Also seriously go fuck yourself for bringing this here.
>>1899541
You shouldn't've had expectations to begin with all things considered.
Also for the love of god, if a discussion about het relations are going to come up remember to learn to sage while doing it.

Hey, it could have been about how Cinder couldn't get Glynda's fire going.
>>1899555
Sis, please, Cinder gets Glynda's fire burning when she's not even trying.
>>1899536
It's not that they don't know how to do /u/ or even need advice on the subject. It's just that it was never in the plans to begin with and would go against what was in mind from the start.
>>1899557
we all know cinder x emerald is best ship
>>1899557
Girl pls, everyone has their off days. It wouldn't be that unusual for Cinder to have her fire gutter out when the wind is too strong or some such. Glynda makes for great kindling after all.Cinder's tourney outfit is just too damn hot, god damn.
>>1896981
Anyone else waiting for Winter x Weiss fan art to be made?
>>1899564
Yes, it'll never happen but god yes do I want some delicious incest. If I can't get it with enabler or RavenxYang I want it with the snow sisters.
>>1899562
I know that, but all I'm saying is even on her off days, Cinder gets all the girls weak in the knees.
>>1899560
Emerald can't be Cinder's girlfriend or beyond, she's just her plaything. She chose Emerald not only for her looks, but because of her obsessive, undying need for her attention, which she gives to her when she feels like flexing her power over the weak-willed and submissive.
Glynda, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of woman she needs. Confident, authoritative, responsible, refined, mature,fantastic in bed, and most importantly, loving. Glynda knows that Cinder's on the dark side, but she cares for her regardless, because she knows that there's still the optimistic, cheery young woman she fell in love with so many years ago behind that sinister, strangely sensual facade.
Cinder can fuck Emerald all she likes, but she can only make love to Glynda.That's not even headcanon, that's a fact.
>>1899567
Damn you got me about Cinder making all the knees weak. I wonder how Glynda can be so resistant to such an effect.
>>1899571She's not resistant, she's actually far weaker than all the other girls, knowing exactly what Cinder is capable of. She's simply an expert at hiding her impossibly high arousal.
>>1899572
You sure she's effected the most? Seems kind of silly considering her cool exterior.
>>1899558
>it was never in the plans to begin with
"Let's throw a bunch of cool character designs together, it's going to be awesome" is not a plan.

>>1899545
>understand, understand the concept of love.

>>1899536
Arryn is bisexual. Not to mention there is extensive research on LGBT characters.
Also, a gay character isn't exactly the most complex character design ever.
>>1899912
>a gay character isn't exactly the most complex character design ever
It appears to be, as very rarely do shows/movies/etc. do it well. It may not be complex to you, but perhaps to a straight person otherwise unfamiliar with being gay I think it might be a bit more complex than one would initially think. It's thinking from a perspective that is completely different to one's own (and yes, all love is the "same love" but because we live in a world that doesn't wholly treat it that way it really is a different perspective) which tends to be tough for writers, let alone the ones over at RT. They do fucking great with certain things, no doubt, but they are not the best with complexities of this nature.
>>1899912
What's complex would be them not making a big deal out of it. They shot that plan of action down when they decided to give it undue emphasis.
>>1899921
If they are treating it as "different perspective" then they are already doing it wrong.
Sexuality is not a personality trait.
>>1899921
>we live in a world that doesn't wholly treat it that way
That only matters if RWBY's setting treat it the same way as our world.
>>1899960
Not really.
In writing something you have to consider audience, not just the how the fictional characters treat a subject.
>>1899912
>Arryn is bisexual.
Not that guy but that's news to me. Mostly because I don't follow their personal lives or anything that doesn't have to do with RWBY.
>>1899912
>extensive research on LGBT characters
>>1899989
I think that Sis was referring to LGBT characters, not people. Though it does sound stupid saying it out loud, there are examples of LGBT characters done right that RT could pull from.
>>1899976
That is true. Arryn only mentioned it once in a tweet, and she never brought it up again
I just follow her because she's a legit good person and posts stuff she finds in the RWBY fandom. As well as banter and bumbleby jokes between Barb.
>>1899958
>Sexuality is not a personality trait.
It isn't but it affects environmental factors that play a role in developing personality. Much the same way any stigmatized characteristic does.
>>1899999
She seems like a nice person.

>>1900060
Swiggity Swoogity, Blake is coming forYangsBooty
So, sisters, I'm finally going to start working on a Beauty and the Beast Bumblebee fic; anything you would like to see in it? I can guarantee it'll make the cut, but I aim to please when I can.My Enabler fic stalled. I have to work on something else and hope inspiration will return in time.
>>1900068
>can guarantee it'll make the cut
Can't. I meant can't guarantee.
>>1900068
I have been waiting forever for this. Thank you, based writefag
I would prefer to see Yang as the beast, as Blake being a faunas isn't exactly a reason as to why she would be the "beast" and I'd love to have Yang be dorky and awkward.
>>1900068
all of my yes.
soo. whos gonna be gaston?
>>1900068
>spoilers
RIP decent enabler fic as for the BB one, try and make the beast reptilian or draconic if Yang's the beast.
>>1900071
I think we know whoAdam
>>1900073Is that too obvious of a choice? We don't have many villains that would work in that role - even Torchwick is more like LeFou than Gaston.
>>1900089
Who else is there to pick who would work as Gaston? Torchwick doesn't fit, as he doesn't have a gruff appearance.
Cardin would work, but he doesn't have that same connection to Blake that Adam has.
>>1900068
>My Enabler fic stalled. I have to work on something else and hope inspiration will return in time.
Dang. You want to talk about it?
>>1900099
works in that Blake has no interest in him at all not even as a friend, wheres she used to work with Adam, idk
>>1900103
That is also true.
Either or can work, but I see where your saying, Cardin would work really well.
>>1900100I just can't seem to find the voice of their relationship. It's so ripe for development: the depressed father, Yang stepping up and prioritizing Ruby while slowly understanding over time that she loves her too much, the tantalizing possibility of them not being siblings, etc. I see all these little moments but I can't seem to find a thread that connects them, and I'm struggling with choosing whose voice to follow. I want it to be a shorter piece, but it's not flowing for me right now. Something's in the way and it's KILLING me.
Thanks for listening, Oneesan.
>>1900113
Wow. You seem really into it. I wish I could give you better advice then what I've got. But maybe you could start by writing some stuff down? Getting your thoughts down somewhere can be a big help.
I know that feel all to well.
Always have the big, main points figured out, but i can never figure out how to get to those points
>>1900120
Yeah, and writing just the good parts feels like... Cheating.
>>1900136
>dank
>>1897018
Honestly it's no surprise she thinks that. With the way 90% of White Rose shippers think Weiss insulting Ruby all the time is romantic.
>>1900214
Insults aren't romantic.
But the power dynamic created from said exchange of insults and how that progresses into a relationship can be pretty damn romantic when handled well.
>>1900222
I know, but so many fic never and fan art never evolve past their early volume 1 dynamic. It's like they meet, Ruby says something cute, Weiss insults her, instant love.
>>1900113
When I realized Enabler had potential, it was when I saw that the relationship could be a really angsty mess.
>Yang learns at a young age they are half-siblings
>It doesn't initially change anything, "Ruby is [her] little sister!"
>As they grow older, she begins to understand that her love for Ruby isn't entirely familial
>Ruby is overly affectionate, dependent, and clingy towards her older sister
>Yang grows increasingly distressed by her own feelings, even if its half, they are still sisters. She is ever more disgusted with herself for having such thoughts about her little sister.
>Struggles with the crushing guilt and self-disgust against a Ruby who seems to growl more lovely and attractive with every passing day.
>Ends up dating (Blake?) to try and distract herself, but it doesn't help
>Begins giving into temptation, finding small excuses and ways to be overly affectionate and touchy with Ruby, feeling her up when they are horsing around, watching her when they are in the showers together, sneaking kisses and touches when Ruby climbs into her bunk.
>Has to deal with the weight of both her early distress over her desires as well as the guilt and stress of betraying Blake, and the risks of being caught.
If looking for less canon, and/or more AU:
>Similar to above, but Ruby is much younger, an innocent kid just wants her nee-san to be happy, and is willing to do whatever to please her, doesn't quite understand relationships, sexuality or that incest is "wrong"
>Yang takes advantage of her docile and eager to please nature to sex her
>Feels like trash for cheating on her girlfriend with kid sister
Pretty much everything is great with angst, imouto.
>>1900068
I agree with >>1900070
Dorky awkward Yang would be good. She shouldn't be a complete dick like the beast is at the beginning, but anger management issues is definitely there.
>>1900071
How about Neptune? If I remember the movie right, women were falling for Gaston left and right, and he actively tries to hit on Belle when he has no chance. Then again, Blake and Neptune have had no interactions in canon, so I'm happy with Cardin.
>>1900230
There's so much angst because "Forbidden Love" and stuff. Incest is open to angst most of the time, but most authors and artists go for the more vanilla route.
>>1900245
>Incest is open to angst most of the time, but most authors and artists go for the more vanilla route.
Because incest stories are usually either Angst or Smut. I'd like one where there's minimal angst but leads to a relatively happy end where the couple is together. Now if only the fantasy genre could make a story about a princess falling for her own queen.
>>1900248Frozen
>>1900248
Because if there is no angst or smut, then there's no reason for the incest.
If you have a series where two girls at an all girls school fall in love and go on dates... and also they are sisters, but no one cares or notices, and them being sisters doesn't really do much and they are just a normal yuri couple... That second part isn't really doing anything for your story.
The one exception I can think of is when its twins. Because then there is the whole one heart in two bodies thing.
But that's really just a more subtle form of angst, because it plays on the whole obsessive/possessive love thing.
>>1900261Sibling incest, I was looking for vertical incest so it'd be more like Snow white falling in love with Grimhilde/Evil QueenIn relation to RWBY, it'd be Yang having the hots for Raven or more like Raven having a weird attraction to Yang.
>>1900264Yeah, I was mostly going for a kek moment thereAlso, maybe over the years of observing and protecting Yang from the shadows, Raven sees how well Yang has grown, so she reveals herself to her daughter in hopes of starting something wonderfulibn4, Raven is the gay character
>>1900269
I don't think Raven would have the time initially to watch over Yang in such a way but maybe when Yang's ten or so, she'd probably have enough time to comfortably begin watching her daughter grow into a beautiful woman.It'd be incredibly helpful for the cause if Raven left right after Yang was born instead of around the toddler years.God no pls, if she's gay that'd make me desire Raven x Summer super hard.
>>1900272Pre-Enabler? Enabler ver.1Also, for the life of me, I just can't ship Summer with anyone. Until it's proven otherwise, Summer is dead, making it weird to ship her
>>1900273
Proto-enabler would probably be Raven X Summer all things considered but yeah something like that.
It's pretty understandable as sad as the notion of Summer being fully dead is, however, that won't stop me from making thinking up backstories 'n' stuff for a lesbian Summer. If the right pairing comes up.
>>1900245
Neptune would work, if Belle was Weiss in this case, but Cardin fits in well, considering his views on faunus. While you are right about Gastons character, as he's a buff, egotistical womanizer, Neptune doesn't really interact with Blake in canon that much.Personally, I'd love Neptune as gaston just so we can actively hate him more and see him die in the end, but Cardin fits better
Also, yes. Dorky, grumpy Yang will work better than angsty and mean Yang. Blake should also be snarky, sharp tongued, but enjoyable and accepting.
Who's gonna play Belles Father?

Adam seems a bit obvious for the job, but he could work as well.
Which teams gonna be the castle staff?
>>1900336
Cinder as the candlestick andGlynda as feather duster
Teapot and teacup could be Nora and Ren or some other duo. Clock should be Weiss, not sure about Rubles.
>>1900229
That's what we call "Baby's first ship"
Most writers believe tsunderes, such as the homoqueen, insult merely because they are attracted to the one they are insulting right off the bat. When in reality, the dynamic of the banters that follow after time had passed, and the two begin to get to know each other, and the use of insults as a way to hide developing feelings, is how this works.
Weiss works with Ruby romantically because they are opposites. Ruby is accepting, adventurous, and sensitive to others around her. Weiss is cold (on the outside) intolerant to new things, and believes she is on a set path in life. Opposites attract.
WR works because it boils down to "Rubles melting the Ice Queens heart"
>>1900340
Agreed, Ruby does seem hard to fit in the current cast. But this is an AU, the author can go in a completely new direction by adding a new item for Ruby to be, or change up the castle's staff completely.Also, there was a feather duster?
>>1900343
There was. She was Lumier's girlfriend and a maid of the castle. She hardly shows up until the end of the movie.Ruby as a cookie jar?
>>1900340
Coco as the teapot and Velvet as the teacup?

No such thing really.
Honestly curious about what other RWBY boards say about the showother than shipping. What are their views? Like, do they also think M&K are running it into the ground?I'd look for myself, but it's much safer here in the submarines. It’s much cleaner.
>>1900479
I tried to look at /co/ but it's just a shitstorm. They acknowledge the show is pretty lackluster but beyond that, it's unreadable. Don't even bother with them. Stay here where it's nice and safe.

I don't have the screenshot, but there was that post on /v/ about how RWBY is that comic/anime idea you had when you were 13 that became your life's work instead of fading away like it should have./y/ is probably having a fun time with it."Jaunedice" alone is enough for years of fuel for them, let alone all the shit with monkey boy and the iceberg.

>>1900336I might actually use both Adam and Cardin, but for different things; they'd never work together, but perhaps they could each be worked into the story somehow. I'm not sure how much of the overall plot will transfer over from the movie -- it's hard to rewrite a classic story without just making it a copy with different characters. Here's hoping I don't fuck it up!

what happened to you guys?
that used to be one of the most fun things to read while going through a RWBY /u/ thread, back when the episodes came out on a weekly basis.
I also hoped that our fic writers would come out of hibernation long enough to find at least some delicious oneshots to write with the little bits of story the first episode gave us. Is that also no longer a thing?
>>1900783
>what happened to you guys?
There wasn't much to go on, and unlike s2 what was, was used in a sneak peek trailer so that got it out of the system. Give it time. One doesn't instantly spring back from hibernation.

Admittedly, Reese had her appeal when the preshow leaked during RTX a few months ago, though it probably would have helped if the fans didn't leak it at all, because her appeal has run dry at this point apparently. Plus her hoverboard didn't have the same excitement as Back to the Future did, awkwardly enough.
Now that Arslan has gotten more screen time, I'll admit I've grown fond of her. Though her weapon (a whipcord, or just a whip?) seems to be the simplest in the showunless it's also a gun.
The guys on the team were pretty greatat dying.

Minimal canon interactions. Though they are one of the more popular ships, the reason is that they're on the same team, the "main character" team. No doubt they would be considered a crack ship were Yang and Weiss on different teams.

I never saw that to be honest. Looking back on RWBY I found that Yang and Weiss seem to have this weirdly pre-established relationship. Yang snarks at Weiss every so often, and Weiss attempts to emulate that. They even planned prom together.There are pairings within RWBY with way less interactions than them.
>>1901792
It'd probably be more popular if there was more fire/tension in their bickering and if Weiss could actually bicker successfully.

Ok, so update from Kuma about Suit!Ruby commission:
>I'm glad you have interest to doing commission with me, but sorry I had to said this... I just can draw whiterose both wearing suits, both wearing dresses, or just Weiss in suit. Actually I feel very strange about let Ruby wearing suit with a princess Weiss, but every whiterose shipper love to draw that, it will do without me.
So, I'm still willing (and planning) to go for this, but what do you sisters think/want?default answer is both suits
>>1901772
>>1901782
I'm afraid to ask but, what'd I miss?
>>1901964
Suite WR is even better than suit Ruby, but it's your call in the end.
As for >>1901766... Well, that one anon asked about beheadings for a reason. Yandere Ruby with Cinder and some of Weiss, I think it looks a bit like Kumo's work.
>>1901993
Oh god, not those pics.I'm willing to see a Cinder x Ruby x Weiss ship, but fuck those pictures
>>1901993
Wait, not Kumo, Nobyas.
We have so many artists, not that I'm complaining but...
>>1901964
I'm confused as to why she objects Ruby being in a suit with Princess Weiss, as it's fairly common to see Ruby portrayed as the tomboy, but beggars can't be choosers.
Go with both in suits.
>>1901999
Wait what? Explain.
>>1902025
Trust me friend, it's better if you didn't know.
Can't say I didn't warn you.it's a picture, or a set or pics, with Cinder seducing Ruby and Ruby admiring her. This wouldn't be a problem if Ruby wasn't also carrying Weiss' decapitated head, face frozen in a look of horror, Ruby glad she can be with Weiss forever.Safer if you do not click this.

>>1902211
So, completely hypothetically speaking, if I wanted to find Enabler stories with BDSM elements -not that I'd lewd the Rube in such a sacrilegious way, no sire- what are my options? The search field only cares about the names and descriptions and there happens to be exactly four RWBY fics with "bondage" in the description, two of which are hetfics. AO3, on the other hand, even has a rating "Explicit" which rules out M fics with no actual smut in them.
>>1902251
AO3, don't specifically tag Bondage/BDSM just look for Enabler. There's probably about a page or three which you can comb through. There isn't a lot for that particular ship and the fandom has some stupid hang up, sometimes, about Rubles being young.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11298776/1/Falling-Roses-Burn-Brighter
Check it out, sistas. Just getting into it myself, but I have a feeling it's a good one. Plus it's has a decent length, rare for a cinder/rubes fic.
So, in the spirit of Halloween, here's a creepy /u/ fic for you guys
>>1902599
Gosh, that story pushes some buttons.
>>1901964
Oh, that's pretty dissapointing. It doesn't really make sense that kuma finds it a weird to draw ruby, who's quite tomboyish, in a suit with weiss in a dress rather than the other way round, when weiss is known for being very girly and princess-like. Its very sad that she wont draw it, even for a commission.
>>1902658
Please at least ask her why
>>1902658
>>1902660
Just sent a confirmation email for both in suits, and I also asked why myself.maybe Kuma is hiding something from us, like a conspiracy or a secret?just kidding
>>1902674
Keeping it for herself I bet
>>1902658
maybe in her mind, Weiss has become the "dad" of her little White Rose family, so seeing her in a dress might just seem weird to her. it's a pretty common mindset for people in asian countries, nowadays. can't have a family without a mom and a dad, even with lesbian families.
>>1902806
That's a good point. When she draws her SchneeRose family, Ruby is the one who carried both children, so she probably sees her as the motherly figure of the pair. There's also the "Weiss being an heiress" side of it, which leaves her to run the SDC and makes her the head income earner of the household, which is the typical fatherly role.That also leaves room for Kuma's devilishly sexy adult Rubles to help Weiss relax after a long, arduous day at work.
>>1902810
>Ruby is the one who carried both children
Incorrect. Weiss carried Winny.
>>1902817
My mistake. I knew Ruby carried one of them, but I wasn't sure about the other.
I stand behind my other points, though.Especially the spoiler.

On a scale of "back to the submarines"

So let me get this straight.scarlet is hella gay, Qrow and Winter have some sort of rivalry, and Weiss lobes her sister....

Qrow drinking in the Crow Bar, words.
>>1903779
HMS Bumblebee is taking water. Iceberg managed a glancing blow but things are up in the air, if we're lucky Weiss will stay tsun for Neptune.Sage is so gay that I wouldn't be surprised if his Semblance allowed him to vomit rainbows
>>1903779Weiss openly saw Neptune being a womanizer, so she hopefully sees him as an asshole, which is a plus. And Winter is about to arrive, which outta indicate a fight between her and Qrow, which should be interesting. However, Blake was seen blushing at Sun, so that's not good, Scarlet is possibly confirmed only LGBT character, and team Indigo, aka RWBY 2.0, aka /u/'s newest plaything, is sadly not likely to make another appearance. Plus, Qrow seems more like an asshole than I would like.
So, putting status as "prepare submarines for standby just in case"
>>1903790
The Crowbar barkeep is the Dust shop owner's son.I want that to be canon
>>1903814
Sage is the green one. Scarlet is thegay pirate.
So he's either going to beDonut 2.0ora male Weiss, bless our little gay snowflake?
>>1903825
Why does /u/ care for canon shippings anyway? Chances of /u/ (or any, really) end(s) are slimmer than chances of average anime protagonist to get laid.
>>1903814
Let's hope it's more than just a glancing blow.I swear -- if Scarlet is the most gay we get, I'll feel queerbaited.

>>1904406
>>1904404
>>1904402
Why do we care what the show does again?
We know the writing in the show is shit. We know the characterisation is shit. We know the animation is sketchy at the best of times. The show is not a well constructed one in any manner.
The show has, for a long time now, only existed as a framework for fan work to be built from - fan work which is frequently of considerably higher quality than the show.
Complaining "argh they've made character x het" is futile. Who cares what RT does with the show? All it's good for is worldbuilding so that the fanbase can create content that is actually enjoyable.
Stop worrying about what RT does with their convoluted, messy show. The real RWBY belongs to us. Keep on shipping the good ships, leave it to RT to desperately try make black sun and iceberg work.
>>1904417
>Keep on shipping the good ships, leave it to RT to desperately try make black sun and iceberg work.
The real RWBY belongs to us
You're right. We're being too cynical, getting too upset over something we should have seen coming a long time ago. But sometimes, we see a glimmer of hope for the show, and some of us are so desperate to enjoy it again as we did when the trailers came out, or when Volume 2 started, but thats wishful thinking, now that we've seen what RT is capable of, or in this case, incapable of.
I just can't help but feel disappointed, yah know sis?
>>1904417
You're right, sis. RT doesn't make RWBY. We do. Their absurd, poorly constructed clusterfuck of a show is nothing compared to what the fanbase has done to give life to this trainwreck of a show.
It's not that they're on the route to pushing hetshit, or that the show itself isn't made with competency anywhere in it's creation process, or even that it somehow manages to get worse and worse as time goes on. It's thatRWBY's continued creation is essentially a polite way of pissing on Monty's grave.
This all seems scarily familiar. It's like V2 all over again. We're right back in the shit, sisters.
>>1904422
I understand. Sometimes there's a baiting moment in the show where you think, "oh cool, theyre making [gay ship] a thing"
But they wont, and that doesn't matter. RT would never be able to make a homoship remotely close to the calibre of the best fan writers, which is a sorry statement but its true.
When I say RWBY belongs to us, I mean it - the stories we read or make in fanfiction are ironically far more engaging and enjoyable than any show story arc so far.
>>1904437
>When I say RWBY belongs to us, I mean it - the stories we read or make in fanfiction are ironically far more engaging and enjoyable than any show story arc so far.
I find this fact so amazing. The fact that we, as a community, have expanded and developed a show so well, the creators couldn't ever dream of touching it.
Its one of the reasons I stuck with the show, was because of the fandoms amazing works.
Monty would be more proud of us, than he would be of RT for continuing the show in such a shitty manner, and not ending the show he developed with all his love and effort.
>>1904432
>We're right back in the shit, sisters.
We were never out of it, sis.Hold me...
>>1904444
Even if we're taking on water, we've always got each other.

>>1904450
>Even if we're taking on water, we've always got each other.
Yeah. I get the feeling that after the trainwreck V3 seems to go towards being ends, and all our ships have sunken, RWBY/u/ will always be around.
>>1904437
>When I say RWBY belongs to us, I mean it - the stories we read or make in fanfiction are ironically far more engaging and enjoyable than any show story arc so far.
The raw truth, right there. In this day and age, a fandom's work can really generate greater quality than anything canon. I mean, that's only to be expected when something gets really popular really fast.
This show really gave artists everything they needed to get hooked and start expanding on everything - colorful character designs, cool weapons, half-baked and explained world, anime stuff. The actual show never stood a chance next to everyone's expectations.
If it wasn't so popular I bet we wouldn't complain that much, because we wouldn't be expecting all that much out of it. At the end of the day this is a group of amateurs and some animation experts (mostly Monty) making an anime. They're bound to make a lot of stupid mistakes, not that that's ever an excuse.
>>1904432
>>1904444
Monthly reminder that Monty was in control of story and character for both of the first volumes, and that RT was well into V3 when he died, i.e. the season is still what Monty had planned out. I don't know why you girls love to pretend monty was somehow betrayed by Miles and Kerry and didn't know what they were doing, but he is just as, if not more responsible. It's not like his only involvement in the show's creation was animating fight scenes. It was (and will continue to be at least through this volume) his story, and his plot points. If you're going to go on about RT ruining Monty's project, you should probably wait until you actually get to the part that wasn't done by Monty.
>>1904455
>>1904454
>>1904422
It's a shame there's so much hostility towards RT because--and I know I'm going to catch some flak for this--RWBY is actually a great show for yuri shipping. You really couldn't ask for a better one.
Instead of agonizing over one ship being canon or not, you girls need to take the approach that Touhou, and Korra pre-finale fandoms took. Understand that Yang has been shown from day one as flirting with boys, that Blake clearly likes Sun and has some leftover feelings for Adam, and that Weiss is shallow and will fall for hot boys easily; and then move past that. Canon is a pretty small hurdle.
And once you get past all that angst over canon, you'ill realize just how much potential the show has:
It is absolutely filled with female characters that have minimal development. That is a bad thing for story and writing, but it is the best possible situation for yuri shipping (look at Touhou/Kancolle).
Every season we get more and more cute girls to ship:
V1:
Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Melanie and Miltiades, Summer, Glynda, Cinder, Pyrrha, Nora, Velvet, Penny
V2:
Emerald, Neo, Coco, Raven, and that adorable SDC operator Weiss talks to.
V3:
Reese, Arslan, Neblua, Dew, Gwen, Octavia, and the cute sniper girl.
>>1904466
We are two episodes into V3, and have already been handed seven brand new female charcters ripe for shipping.
Rather than spending a good chunk of every thread saying the same pointless crap about MK's writing ability or the lack of canon yuri--and moaning about how the show is dead, why don't you do what most fandoms do and use those goggles. Worry less about Weiss being tsundere for Neptune, and consider more the unrequited love the SDC Operator has for Weiss, since she clearly worked as Mr. Schnee's assistant and watched Weiss grow up isoalted and alone, falling in love with her until Winter figured things out and had her transfered. Or the crush Bronze's sniper girl probably has on Nora after that match.
who look ep 2??
>>1904466
>>1904467
Is the sniper a girl? It's pretty heads or tails until rt posts a wiki page for bronze team. We had similar with Scarlet I believe.

Ok Sisters, I know you're upset and I'm gonna let you finish but this was one of the best RWBY episodes ever.
Now wait, WAIT!!! Put down the scythes and let me finish.
In terms of just a well put together episode it was good, the pacing felt good nothing outstayed its welcome. There was a good balance of talking and fighting with a solid transition to the contents of the next episode.
Most importantly of all it was fun hell it was funny, JNPR arguing about team attacks was funny; Crow's fight line was funny; Neptune being a fucking moron was funny (even if only in a cathartic sense) even Port fucking Port had a funny line.
Yeah I get it, Black Sun is rising over paradise and Iceberg is 50/50 and I'm not happy either but neither am I angry, I just can't summon it up because we saw it coming and I was at terms with it.
And hay come on, Winter is coming and her and Crow can bitch at one another meaning Weiss and Ruby will have lots to do next episode, you wanna see that don't you? It'll be nice.
I just don't think this is worth rage quitting over and that you are overreacting.
>>1904634
Well, the Eclipse/Black Sun/Iceberg stuff made me salty enough to fuel my very own molten salt reactor and give me enough motivation to actually write—if only purely to spite the canon writers—so I guess that's one good thing for me that came out of this episode.
Sure, it was funny, but the poorly written relationships can still make me angry. I really wish they would stop trying to force romance into a series that hasn't done it very well so far.
I'm not going to be ragequitting though, but in a small part of my mind I'm hoping tumblr and twitter people get butthurt enough about this that they rethink what they're trying to do.

I think I got new fetish.
>>1904634
Got a point. I came to RWBY because Monty Oum put up a trailer of little red riding hood kick not so little ass with (in my opinion) one of the most badass weapons of all time. I'm sticking around for the fights.
Ignoring the poorly made romances going on, the episode wasn't bad.Though that victory Team SSSN got was bullshit.Things, though slow and awkwardly, are progressing. With Qrow and Winter, we may even get that long-awaited Ruby character development we always wanted.
Besides, look at it this way: if M&K did try to make, for example, WhiteRose canon, it would probably be written worse than Iceberg with enough potholes to make even us wish the two would just break up.
Though, besides shipping, RT has given us a great reason to rage with this episode: remember how long they told us to wait for episode three?
>>1900525
>that screencap

>>1904509
>Weiss when she hears Ruby is back from a mission
One day.
First two episodes were alright. RT's direction with Weiss/Neptune and Blake/Sun is... worse than I hoped, better than I feared. Really hope Weiss' rage towards him in that one moment was legit and not just comedic effect with no lasting impact. Maybe it's RT actually responding to the hate and cutting that ship out before it could start? One can dream.
Fight animation has taken a huge dive, but looks like all animation outside of fights has improved and is more smooth. No Monty fights in a volume centered around combat is looking to be sadly disappointing.
Weiss' apparent relationship with Winter was nowhere near what I expected. It's kinda adorable if she really loves her as much as she seems to. Maybe Rubles will get jealous.
Team NDGO has me actually wanting more screentime for side characters for the first time. If how their weapons were actually unique is anything to go on, it could be looking hopeful that they'll be around more. So much potential.
>>1904744
>Really hope Weiss' rage towards him in that one moment was legit and not just comedic effect with no lasting impact.
Prepare for disappointment. It was for comedic effect and it'll be completely overshadowed by Winter's appearance. Vol.3 might be the last season of RWBY I watch and you should probably do the same.
>>1904814
>Vol.3 might be the last season of RWBY I watch
One can hope the manga won't have the same plot as web animation and would be popular enough to get anime which won't have the same plot either.
Okay can we just stop the fucking angst train until Winter's had an episode? Can we just pretend we're not the most miserable whores on the planet until they've finished speaking and plot lines have actually resolved?
Could you do that for me /u/, just give us a brave smile for a few weeks you can do that right?
>>1904847
Hope isn't really for /u/s. Every time there's some hope involved, it gets crushed to smithereens pretty quickly. Remember when we thought Monty was going to recover?
>>1904847
>completely flat Ruby
Worse than forgetting Weiss' scar.
She's not a titty monster like Yang but she's still got a pair.
Its not like anything MK can do anything to deter writefags, like myself, from making fanfics about /u/ things. For real, I think ima go write something White Rose to get my mind off of Iceberg... something with piercings maybe...

Well you'd want a pair of twins as a nod to the -tans with a semblance that requires them to get uncomfortably close to each other, naturally they're huge teases.
Some prophet girl for our constant fantasising and predictions, she's got a small sword and fences people into a corner by predicting what they'll do. Good a short term and terrible at long term but makes so many calls she's basically playing Nostradamus roulette.
Not sure about number four.
>>1905055

>>1904744
You forgot the first part, sis

>>1904466
it will be hard to make yuri fics if people keep making damn het fics
>>1905098
If you let it maybe, but since other people writing fics doesn't actually inhibit your ability to write fics, it really isn't any harder.
>>1905037
Please no.
The /co/ thread turns so horrible and cringe-y when people there start posting their shitty original characters. It's like they lose all self-awareness and start acting like the very same embarrassingly untalented sods they're usually making fun of.
So, Nora's semblance is gaining power through electricity.How can Pyrrha bring this to the bedroom?
>>1905173Shockplay, natch.

Twins - Zara & Zona
Prophet - Libra
Misery-chan - Epsilon
Together they are team LEZZ!

I though LEZZ was funny and it let me aliterate the twins names.

their designs were really damn good too. shame they had to lose to a bunch of shitters and in a stupid way too. really hope they get content.
I abandoned the RWBY ship a while ago. Has it gotten shittier? Also, what suggestions are there for good content that fans have made?
just give up on the actual show already /u/ guys. all this queerbaiting and hetifying of the girls will never stop. the femslash fandom of the show is the only thing that keeps this piece of shit relevant.

Huh, there's actually a Summer/Winter fic on AO3 from like a year ago.
I wonder if that pairing will uptick after we figure out Winter's deal from the opening.

Oh, I remember that. I think the author's left us for the Symphogear threads, though.which feels like a more tempting decision every day
>>1905427
What's Symphogear?any canon /u/ content?
>>1905428
It's an anime about a group of girls who use magic-science armors called Symphogears to fight a cosmic monstrosity called the Noise, which can turn human to dust by touch. When it comes to /u/ content, there's a fair amount of subtext between the main cast of girls. The most between the characters, Hibiki and Miku, and Kirika and Shirabe. Pretty good for /u/ content and good music as well.
>>1905428
It's basically if RWBY and Love Live had a baby together.
>>1905404
~9:30ish
God am I going to be pissed off when she speaks.
>>1905428
>What's Symphogear?
Nanoha with an ensemble cast of idols, and the lasers are replaced by punching.
>any canon /u/ content?
No more than Nanoha, really: there's couples that obviously care for each other but they stop short at any actual confirmation.
>>1905437
Kirika and Shirabe have confessed their love for each other in words, not actions though.
>>1905428
>any canon /u/ content?It's a lot more /u/ than RWBY is.

No. Stop reading into crap that isn't there. It was so that they could make the Neptune being afraid of water joke.

>>1905434
It's possible her voice actress is only around for things like giggles and she won't have actual lines.
>>1905467
>>1905468
>>1905381
Of Thieves and Beggars was last updated in 2014, I think it's safe to say that it's dead.
Kuma made a poster of the older gays.
>>1901964
Found out why kuma feels so conflicted
>I don't know "tomboy" really means, but in Taiwan it's more like "What he's a girl!? I thought she's a boy!!" They are both feminine, Just Weiss is more elegant and long hair; Ruby is still childish and short hair. I notice a lot of Whiterose fanart will reducing Ruby's feminine and let she become "What he's a girl!? I thought she's a boy!!" and I really don't want to follow it. Just my personal preferences.
So there's that. Now we just wait.
>>1905700
I still think it's dumb to commission more WR art. Especially from someone who constantly draws WR art even without being commissioned.
>>1905700
Pretty much confirms what we guessed before.. Kuma already has a set image of Ruby and Weiss in her head which she will not change anytime soon, Weiss as the "Husband" in the relationship and Ruby as the "Wife".
I'd like to fault her for it, but if I remember correctly, she got a little mad when people pointed out that her Weiss looked too masculine, so I guess she herself doesn't realize that she always draws Weiss that way.

>>1905752

>>1905303
Alright /u/, who's sleeping with who on NDGO?
From left to right in the pic:
>Dew Gayl
>Gwen Darcy
>Octavia Ember
>Nebula ViolettaI say Gwen has a huge lesbian crush on Dew but is afraid to say anything. Dew doesn't realize it because Gwen and Octavia are best friends who cuddle and do generally gay things together all the time but aren't actually romantically interested in each other, Dew just assumes they are so she stays out of it. Nebula, being the leader, doesn't want to pick favorites, but instead has an open offer to her entire team to come to her if they're ever having a lonely night and need some comfort. Everyone on the team has used that offer at least once.Holy fuck I almost want to write this shit now
>>1905800
Don't be afraid! Write it, and they shall read!Before rt ruins them too
>>1905803
I'm gonna wait until the end of the volume first to see if they actually come around again. I don't like writing characters with unestablished personalities in fear of being ridiculously off the mark for when they do get canon development.
>>1905810
I highly doubt NDGO will get anything other than maybe background shots in future episodes.
And hey, people shipped WR before the series actually started.
>>1905814
I would support NDGO getting their own spinoff down the line, assuming competent writers are brought on board. Could be an interesting look at the other kingdoms, as well as so many more opportunities for the gay.
>>1905752
Sorry sis....all other fluffy fics are either easy reads or one shot collections.
>>1905833well i wouldn't mind those myself
>>1905434
Same, buddy. them fucking up neo will probably hurt me more than /u/ ships sinking. I thought id just be sad if she jobbed hella bad or they decided to make her something besides crazy. never considered her getting actual lines.
But maybe they'll make her even more bonkers so it'll be ok...
>>1905856
>>1905434
I still like the idea that she's silent in her normal form, but her illusions are able to speak, or only speaks while in disguise. That way they'd be able to give her a wide array of voice actresses while still keeping her as the cute mute
>>1905700
Well, that explains it. She has a head canon and isn't leaving it. A shame she doesn't get how tomboys work, but If she draws Rubles in a suit, I am happy.
>>1905724
>Weiss as the "husband"
I don't think it's that. I think she just thinks Weiss is more feminine by default so she can "handle" wearing a suit without looking too boyish.
Ruby -does- get drawn very boyish in a lot of fan art, which is as weird to me as black Blake or Pyrrha with a huge hook nose. Ruby's standard outfit is pretty damn girly.
>all this new art from Leo from Halloween
Halloween just got even better.
I really wish they'd stop pushing Blake and Sun. Other than him being a Faunus, he's just a more douchy, less funny version of Yang.
>>1906152
I've read so much fanfiction that my view of the series is permanently skewed. Bumblebee and White Rose are irrevocably as good as canon for me.
>>1906152
I actually enjoy Sun and Neptune most of the time. If the shitty romance subplots didn't exist, they'd be the perfect comedic sideshow characters.
>>1906161
Neptune is too deuchy to be likable. Sun was much better before getting a team.
>>1906158
Completely agree. Seeing them with anyone else just screams "wrong!" to me no matter what. They're usually shown together in the show too so it's hard to see them with anyone else.
>>1906260
Sucks to be you.
>>1906264
...But there are ships that I kind of want to happen. Like Cinderruby.
So, found a gif that shows how good Pyrrha looks in black.
>>1906265
>Cinder being called a hag
>getting depressed about it in the corner
>instead of burning them to a crisp
>>1906281
Don't worry, she's just manipulating Ruby into doing her dirty work.
>>1906161
I think the notorious 3 would be far more likable (and it would improve the show's overall quality) if they were just side characters, like they should have been. I was fine with Jaune and Sun until they started pushing the romance garbage. If Jaune had stayed as the occasional comic relief and didn't get his own characterization and arc before the titular characters and overly-pushed romance, things would probably be much, much better.
The solutions are so simple, but nothing is being done about it.
On the other hand, Love and War, just cause.
>>1906265
>girlfried
>fried
>cinder
hee hee
>>1906285
Once you have enough vague, intertwining plans it doesn't really matter what you do, everything is going according to the keikaku.
Do you think they'll follow through on any of the shipping though? I could just see them dropping hints and baiting everyone forever. It would fit in perfectly with the writing; no one changes, no one grows.
>>1906394
No. I could never see RT going through with any kind of head canon from fans. They've never listened to us before, and those that do, are irrelevant in terms of involvement in production.
They'll place their "LGBT" character in for a few episodes, pat themselves on the back, and go right back to making the undeveloped show it started off as.
Don't get me wrong, what the fandom managed to do with an open and interesting concept is amazing, but it doesn't excuse the lazy, shoddy writing, and obvious bias towards their own self inserts.
>>1906407
>Yang with a hairband
Sweet mother of fuck.
So Yang, Blake, and Neo are my new favorite pairing.(ship?) Just too cute/heart warming/perfect!
Anyone know of any stories that feature them together?

Kuma just sent me a rough draft for WhiteRose in suits. I personally like it, hope you sisters will too.
>>1906486
Oh yeah it looks great, I like the use of light pink.
>>1905707
As far as I see it, it's a case of "commission artist for you want to see" and/or "supporting the artist you like for making the content you like."
>>1905866
I think >>1905870 gets it, in a lot of Asian cultures there are really rather strict gender rules and while she may have tied Weiss and Ruby to either husband or wife (no doubt, I think, that she does; this isn't uncommon with yuri though, there's quite often a more masculine counterpart to a more feminine counterpart). It's a culture difference coupled with what might be her own preference, too.
>I really don't want to follow it. Just my personal preferences.
What can ya do. That said, personally I also am hype for suit Ruby, and suit Weiss as a bonus just makes the package even better.

>>1906978
Well obviously, but let's be real.
I think this is something we could actually do.
>>1906978Barb, you're such a sweetheart.
>>1906979
Yeah. I know what you mean.
But still, I like the idea and I think it would be a great way to let those of us who can't write or draw create something, you know?
>>1906981
Dude, we're on /u/ when have we ever been real?
>>1906978
You know what would be the best?If they read smut.
But really, I'd just be happy if Barb and Arryn read another fanfic, or convinced some other VAs to do the same.
>>1906981
People find RT incredibly inspiring, there's probably plenty of good, amateur VAs among the /u/ community who'd be into something like that.
>>1906993
The question is where to go to find them.
>>1905823
>I would support NDGO getting their own spinoff down the line, assuming competent writers are brought on board
sis, we're still waiting to this day for them to hire competent writers for anything they do. it's not gonna happen.
>>1906978
I don't think I'd want that anymore, not since I've seen Kara & Lindsay express their dislike of WR.
However, I would be fine with Arryn and Barbara doing another reading of a fanfic again, maybe this time pre-recorded instead of in the middle of a livestream.and some flirting between them while reading it wouldn't be so bad, either.
>>1906996Tumblr, probably. There's a giant portion of the RWBY fanbase that's on tumblr, namely artists that draw plenty of /u/, like Leo, Kuma, and DashingIceCream. You could probably find dozens of users who've done their own take on the characters.
>>1907030
>I wouldn't mind that. If we got some actual good VAs off of tumblr, maybe trained some from /u/, we'd beat RT at their own game

>>1907303
Indeed. The normal response for most of us is to discar RT as nothing better than heterosexual trash and to never touch RWBY again, but most sisters here will go through psychological issues when it happens.Of course, we will need to have a funeral for our Homoqueen, if it happens

>>1907481

>>1907482
That's a helluva Ruby you got there anon.
>>1906792
The colour schemes are butt-ugly for the black haired and the red haired one. Most of the designs for rwby characters have some kind of clear theme or aesthetic which gives the character uniqueness but these characters have none whatsoever, they just seem like an assortment of random features which makes them look all over the place. Compared to the other RWBY designs, these are painfully low quality.
>>1907380
That is probably one of my favourite pieces Kuma has done thus far. Praise Kuma and praise based anon
>>1907543
Praise them both, sisters.

Success sisters.
The thing I really I really don't understand about iceberg is, didn't Neptune turn Weiss down for the dance? Why would he be like 'I don't want to dance with you, but sure, I want a relationship'?
>>1907634
I prefer not to talk about Iceberg and Eclipse. They make me sick.
>>1907561
Not gonna lie,I'd easily trade every suited Ruby I could ever draw for dat delicious Kuma art.
>>1907578
Just as a heads up (and I hate to blog) butdA isn't my primary site, not in the slightest. Especially for lewd stuff. Thank you though for the support, it's always nice to know /u/ enjoys my stuff.. That said, Tumblr or pixiv is the way to go, friend.
>>1907634
If I understood correctly wasn't it not that he didn't necessarily want to go with Weiss, but just that he couldn't dance? Either way, I hate Iceberg as well but I figure the writers aren't really going to be keeping to sense when it comes to Iceberg (if they were, it wouldn't be a thing to begin with).
At this point, I don't see why they are even trying to put romance into rwby because at this point, the writers don't seem willing to actually consider any of the pairings that are actually popular in the fandom, and no one outside of RT actually wants any of the shitty relationships that RT's trying to put in the show.
At this point, the writers should just focus on action and character development, and leave the romance to the fandom.

Untrue, outside of /u/ and maybe /co/ many people like ships like Blake/Adam, Iceberg, and so on (I think Yatsuhashi/Yang got popular too). People really seem to like Arkos and Ren/Nora, as well.

I'd agree. At the very least it'd let them cop out and not offend any part of the fandom for making X ship canon.

Anon, you are so good to us.

Of course, all the art you do, most of the time goes to Tumblr.
I'm more suggesting that no matter the cost, this cute shit will still be on deviant art. Like a mini achievement.Like if Team SSSN fucked off for good.
Also,be proud of those suited rubles. I loved them all, sis

People like Iceberg?
>>1908158
Sadly yes, heathens do exist
>>1907731
When will you draw Neo x Penny?
>>1908110
I actually can't/don't upload some to dA out of sheer laziness/being suspended/stuff getting removed, sorry. Sentiments definitely appreciated, though! Thank you.

I don't ship it, so probably neverunless I embrace the beastly Judaism within and someone pays me.

WR is a pretty solid tsundere ship, but I'll be glad if it never progresses into canon. Canon romance is a lot easier to fuck up than ambiguous shipping and I sure as hell wouldn't trust RT to do it well. Especially not with how terrible that Blake/Yang dialogue in S2 already was.

>they just look bad in the 3D
So, the actual source material?

Not sure what point you're trying to make.
Good artist produce good quality content, Look at ZUN's artwork vs fan touhou content, or Adventure Time's art vs some of the bubbline art that gets produced. That's not a design issue is an issue of the design being rendered into 3D.
NDGO wasn't modeled great--specifically they way they handled the fishnet/sheer material is really bad, just like it was with Ruby's dance dress. But the designs themselves are fine, pretty nice even. I really don't know what >>1908239 was talking about, because those color schemes are pretty spot on and standard. If anything it's the other two that are weak, just because the purple haired one's outfit is rather bland in terms of color and the dark blonde one's fishnet is a color too close to her skin tone.
But these are pretty minor issues and overall the designs are fine.
>>1907541
The recent teams seem to have a couple of key characters that the design largely focuses on, and a couple of forgettable cookie cutters just to pad the numbers. IE skateboard and kung fu lady, sniper guy, and the two front girls in your pic were all basically the key characters in their given fights.
proposed ship name for ruby x sniper girl: quick scope
>>1908662
I second this.
So... new thread?
>>1908662
So that ship is for little bastards?
