Thoughts on RWBY Chibi/Volume 4?

File: rwby prediction.png (63KB, 1873x187px) Image search: [Google]

63KB, 1873x187px

Alright, I'm gonna make my first predictions for season 4: I think the beginning of the season is going to be centered around Weiss. The fact that she's been isolated from the rest of the cast (and probably the entire world outside of Schnee Dust HQ) makes her a perfect fish-out-of-water character for the time skip. The question then is what causes her to leave her isolation? I doubt she escapes on her own, because that just pointlessly delays her rejoining the cast. As such I think that one of her former teammates will break her out. By process of elimination I think it will be Blake, as Yang will be too depressed, and Ruby has her own situation with team RNJR.

Speaking of which, I think Ruby will be mostly withheld from the story this season, because the writers will probably want to milk the secret of the silver eyes as long as possible, and also because they seem to have a habit of focusing the story on everyone but her.

Any thoughts, or corrections?

This was my line of reasoning as well.

It also has the potential to be an interesting moment in the whole Schnee/White Fang; Weiss/Blake dynamic. And, not to validate Dashing, but their new outfits are quite complementary.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see Ciel assigned to watch Weiss, since she's from Atlas and the "follow orders without question" type.

So Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang get replaced by White Rose Ruby & Weiss and Bumblebee Blake & Yang? What a twist.

not sure how big the difference would be, ideally it'd be a bit like Kuma's version, but I'd also enjoy just the same show with a lot more gay puns and some romantic scenes that /u/ can actually enjoy for a change going on inbetween the fighting and the drama.
I'd love it, of course.

That's a weird way to spell "shipped the first two characters they knew about, and then the left over pair".

Isn't that what happens when people write literally every scenario (no matter how ridiculous) under the sun?

I want you to be right. I really do but the signs aren't looking good. RT have even did that dumb thing where they say something is canon because it has a song on the soundtrack.

>>2090800
there needs to be more cinder/weiss 2bh

>>2090867
Snowfall is love.

>>2090855
when did RT say the soundtrack = canon?

Jeff puts hints in there, but as far as I know, that particular song hasn't even been commentated on by any RT staff. People claimed Jeff confirmed that particular song was about Sun, but I searched the stream and didn't find anything. No one provided timestamps either.

The song is likely about him, but how Sun's arc is going to play out is still up in the air. RT doesn't confirm shit usually when it comes to RWBY by any means besides the show itself. The recent deaths being confirmed on livestreams being an exception to the rule and that's quite a bit different than a romantic subplot. They haven't even confirmed Ren and Nora yet.

It's a small hope, but not every romance ends with a successful relationship. Goggles time: Sun's last scene has him looking at Blake reaching for Yang, specifically at her reaching for Yang's (remaining) hand. I like to think that's the biggest hint as to the direction Sun's character arc is heading. If he really was suppose to be the main love interest it would be so much more obvious. They wouldn't waste an entire volume with just a wink and this volume was the prefect opportunity to actually build some substance between him and Blake. Instead they opted to build substance between her and Yang.

tl; dr: it's still reaching for canonical gay girls, but not as much as before

>>2090878
>Jeff puts hints in there, but as far as I know, that particular song hasn't even been commentated on by any RT staff.

>>2090795
Surprisingly, the most common pairing gets stale after you read a thousand fanfictions that eventually end up being exactly the same with only a few twists here and there.

>>2090657
For all its wrong points, I think the main cast of this show is surprisingly good so it's going to be RWBY. I mean, they're good character designs brought down by the choice of literally MMD models with poor animation and an at best mediocre writing.

>>2090767
The way I see it, Bumblebee is definitely happening at some point, but White Rose probably isn't.

Barb and Arryn are arguably the two biggest Bee shippers out there, and a fair number of other folks working on RWBY and RWBY Chibi have expressed that they really like the pairing, including Kerry. Moreover the plot does seem to be setting up a romance arc for Yang and Blake as of V3's ending, albeit a potentially slowburner and angsty one. As someone else already mentioned, that shot of Sun seeing Blake hold Yang's hand in the V3 finale seems to foreshadow that he's realizing things aren't gonna work out for him and Blake (provided they ever were a thing at this point).

On the other hand, neither Lindsay or Kara care much for White Rose and the only 'tease' that Monty, Miles or Kerry ever put in the show for WR was that jokey "NOOOO" Ruby does in the food fight sequence in V2E1. It could happen, I suppose, but the signs look pretty bleak on that ship.

I will say though that I don't think Neptune will be Weiss's endgame romance. I know Kara wants Weiss to give Jaune a chance, which I sincerely doubt will ever happen, but I do think her and Neptune are gonna have a falling out.

Ruby is probably (hopefully) going to stay single throughout the series, or at least for the forseeable future. Inb4 she gets a romance interest this volume and it's just Jaune V2

Weiss seems to be facing the unfortunate inevitability of needing to continue her line, assuming the show actually ends up lasting long enough for that plotline to happen. I can see RT sidestepping all the potential angst that arc could have, and instead introduce some male love interest that they try really hard to make likable to avoid the ire of the general fanbase. It'll be shit either way.

>>2091198
I could see RT doing a "kill the naivety" plot line, probably in the next volume, now she has to lead a mismatched team, recover from her friends scattering to the four corners, and try to save the world. But I don't think they'd give her a romance Arc (ha).

>>2091196

the few I've seen didn't turn out well, and usually ended up with some autist flooding them with guro or loli to get them deleted.

/v/ doesn't really like rooster teeth any more and the show's poor visual quality (especially earlier on) didn't exactly put it in /v/'s good graces. now RWBY threads there usually don't last long before someone posts the clip of Cinder running along those rooftops, and it all goes downhill from there

I actually suspect that RT showed off a well-animated Ruby hitting the rooftops in the V4 trailer specifically because of that Cinder scene.

>>2090878
>when did RT say the soundtrack = canon?

I don't think they have, but Jeff writes the songs based on what he knows about the show. He does his research with RT so he can understand who the characters are, what their relationships to each other are, etc, and writes his songs based on that. They might even reference something that isn't explicitly mentioned in the show (like how RLR Part 2 suggests Ruby feels resentment over the loss of her mother), but it's reasonable to assume that what's described in the songs is more likely to be canon than not since they are sourced from the canon in the first place.

Is it odd that it's the only reason I'm looking forward to Volume 4? Like they could scrap all the other characters and I'd be fine with just Yang and Blake.

I used to be all about White Rose, but I dropped the show when Neptune showed up in Volume 2. Picked it back up recently, watched it all and now it's just Bumblebee all day every day.

I honestly don't see White Rose happening anymore though, Ruby just doesn't seem like a character built for a relationship. With anyone.

>>2095116
Honestly RT is probably going to have Ruby romance Jaune.

>>2095124
>Ruby romance Jaune
This is the sort of thing that ends in Jihads.

>>2095061
>Would Yang have beat up Vergil/JetstreamSam if Blake hadn't charged his sword?

Maybe. I dunno.

I feel like they made Adam seem way more powerful than he actually is in that scene by having Blake be afraid of him and him having a charged slash ready to go when Yang showed up.

It makes him look like this unstoppable engine of destruction that can't be stopped and even Cinder would struggle against him, but he can't be that powerful or else he wouldn't have needed Blake's help on the train in the first place, and wouldn't have backed down from half Maiden Cinder.

He's probably still better than RWBY is at the moment, but not to the point that it looked like.

>>2091198
>Weiss seems to be facing the unfortunate inevitability of needing to continue her line

That's assuming she doesn't end up cutting ties with her family entirely and throwing away her family name so she can keep fighting the good fight when her father and Atlas might not want her to.

I always felt that her desire "be a huntress for awhile to make the family name look better than run the company and improve that too" was a conflict of interest that wouldn't work and Beacon going down forced her into a position where she needs to make the choice now.

And since this is an action show and she's one of the leads obviously she's going to not be a company worker for the rest of it

>>2095124
Honestly I see this or JaunexWeiss being the thing RT tries to push in the next seasons.

>>2095140
To be fair, we've yet to see Cinder's full power. All we've gotten so far are glimpses against characters that were no match for her to begin with. The one fight that could possibly have been against an equal we've seen (aside from the first episode, where all she was really trying to do was gtfo of Dodge) happened offscreen, so we really have no way of knowing if Adam is really more powerful than her, or if this actually is a case of Power Seep, Power Creep.

>>2095385
>happened offscreen

She fought Amber onscreen. She had help but still she fought a maiden and won.

>>2095387
In an ambush with the help of a person who makes people see what she wants them to see. Amber barely had a chance to get any attacks off.

>>2095387

Despite Maiden power Amber wasn't all that impressive. Compare her to Maiden Cinder against Ozpin.

I'm guessing although Amber had the power she wasn't all that skilled a fighter and probably didn't have huntress training or any kind of fighting ability prior to gaining the power, as opposed to Cinder who already had a strong semblence and was a trained warrior even before getting the power.

Possibly intentional that Ozpin's crew arranged for the maiden's to be regular girls and not Huntress's to limit their power and keep it under wraps, and so they wouldn't be too ambitious with it like Cinder is.

So, what are your thoughts on RWBY Chibi Episode 10? The scene with Pyrrha and Weiss was cute.

really? you haven't even had someone telling you to kill yourself before? I'm guessing you've been avoiding all the "classic" boards on here, then.

Ren and Nora will likely serve as the obligatory romance subplot for volume 4. So Ruby and Jaune should be safe from each other and from Weiss. Maybe some loose foundation stuff to service a new romantic subplot down the line, but I reckon /u/ has at least one full volume before having to worry about Weiss' sexuality.

That said, Blakebowl is up for grabs. There are legitimate reasons to think Yang has a chance of scoring a touchdown before Sun, but either she starts running the ball in volume 4 or she never does. Volume 3's ending is too much to pass up building on ASAP if RT really does dare to go for bumblebee. I'm not talking straight up declarations of love, but signs of a build up. Basically, Yang angst-ing over Blake and slowly realizing her feelings for her might be a tad stronger than she thought. Something like that, but I do think that something will start up early in Yang's arc or maybe Blake's possibly. Either that or following Sun and having him place Blake's relationship with Yang first (building on his last scene in three) and his relationship with her second.

Lots of ways they can go about it, but of all the /u/ ships Bumblebee is the one up to take it all or lose it all in volume 4. White Rose almost certainly has another volume of denial at least.

HOW

and may I add:

DARE YOU.

>>2097571
I don't like wishing for character deaths, but Jaune (and Neptune) are such nothing characters that contribute zero positives at all. Jaune in particular because Pyrrha's entire character was tied to him in such a way that didn't let her grown on her own until v3.

Jaune as a concept could've honestly been interesting had it played him up as a typical shonen protag (thinks he's hot shit for getting into Beacon on his own) instead of the harem fuckwad that he comes across as and then subvert it early (he's actually not as strong as he is, his acceptance into Beacon was paid for by his family without him knowing) and then develop him into an actual leader.

>>2097617
>Harem Jaune
I don't get this argument. Well yeah, there's a lot to criticize about him, but nothing indicates any kind of harem.
He asked Weiss out and was told to go fuck himself, Yang talked to him once and he's friends with Ruby.
Pyrrha had a crush on him, yes. Teenage crushes are found in every other piece of fiction out there, and how many of those include harems?

>>2097637
It's just the way he comes across at the start. Like a beat for beat harem MC. Plus the way he's mostly used as the standard "male" character for fanfics. But yeah, bad way to describe him in the actual show.

The Jaune and Neptune hate needs to slow down especially since it seems to stem entirely from their interactions with Weiss and not of the quality of the characters themselves.

Jaune's story has always been about Pyrrha and little to do with Weiss. She's at best, a minor character in his personal arc. Pyrrha was always front and center. Even her crush on him is implied in their very first interaction (he doesn't instantly hero worship her). Neptune was likewise just a way to further the Jaune-Pyrrha story arc. A "romantic rival" that puts the final nail in the coffin of Jaune's hopes of pursuing Weiss. Notice once the dance arc is over the Jaune-Weiss interactions pretty much grind to a halt and volume 3 focuses entirely on Jaune-Pyrrha. Even Weiss-Neptune is basically dropped and ignored now that it served its purpose of getting Jaune to look closer to home for romantic prospects. Neptune was ever presented as anything else, but as a supporting character to a secondary character.

Sun is to me, as a bee fan, the most annoying male character. He's shown to be Blake's love interest, but has yet to actually play that role. Their most intimate scene is Blake shooting White Fang exposition at him in broad daylight. Otherwise it's just winks and fight scenes really. I think that's more frustrating in general since I can't help, but feel like there's a real chance RT just botched his character. They are just going to have Blake and Sun suddenly get closer together in volume 4 even though nothing has actually happened between them, at least when compared to Blake's interactions with another blondie.

If you want to argue that the Jaune-Pyrrha arc was poorly executed or a waste of time, sure. Though I think overall Jaune and Neptune are no worse than any other character on the show. Even Sun wouldn't be that bad if he just didn't completely fall flat as an interesting LI.

>>2097682
I just don't like Jaune because he's an irresponsible criminal who likely denied an academic position to someone who deserves it more. This is a bit of a personal twig and one I'll likely never get over but otherwise I should like him more than I do. He voice acting is a bit dodge but his arc's fine and his dress dance was pretty based.

I like Neptune when he's doing anything but talking to girls he's actually quite funny.

Sun I don't really have any strong feelings on but he does good fight scenes.

Qrow will always be best male.

>>2097682
Him having 4 back to back episodes focused almost squarely on him back in v1 doesn't help his case.

>>2097708
I will admit, that is another area of RT's writing does fall flat. I think most anons that hate on RWBY's writing do it just to complain, but the Jaune-Pyrrha story arc does have a major flaw. Their romance seemed disconnected from the main plot for too long. Volume 1 did a pretty good job of setting Jaune up for his future role imho, but it failed to make that role feel important hence why I think so many fans took issue with his screentime in volume 1. If they introduced the maidens concept earlier and connected it to Pyrrha in volume 1, I feel like Jaune's time in that volume would feel more natural.

Of course they would have to come up with the maiden idea before volume 1, but that's another issue altogether.

To stay on topic though: does anyone think RT would dare to have an all gay main cast of girls? I was thinking about this earlier today while working. No one ever notices when four heroes, two guys and two girls hook up in the end. So as long as the romance is well written, right? Yet, the same conclusion for four heroines (or four male heroes for that matter) seems absurd.

Let's assume a /u/ couple happens in RWBY, just assume it's your OTP. I seriously doubt there would be anymore after that, but there would be no similar limit on straight couples. JPNR getting together was always acceptable to the fandom, but I feel like the fandom considers RWBY getting together impossible and bad writing, even if RT intended it from the start.

Agree? Disagree? Thoughts?

>>2097682
Sun's "romance" with Blake is definitely the most obnoxious on in RWBY, I think. Not just because he gets in the way of Bumblebee, but because Sun himself seems to just crush on Blake for literally all the wrong reasons.

Take these three lines from Sun that are either directed to or are about Blake:
- "Hey! Didn't you used to be in a cult?"
- "And the best part is she's a faunus!"
- "So is Blake still being all... y'know... Blake-y?"

Now I don't begrudge Sun for appreciating that Blake's a fellow faunus like himself. However these sorts of lines indicate to me that Sun isn't all that interested in who Blake really *is.*

Sun doesn't fully understand how Blake's past with the White Fang is a huge part of who she is. Instead, he insults her by saying she was a part of a cult.

Nor does Sun show much interest in what makes Blake *Blake*. In fact, his line about her in Burning the Candles indicates that he probably dislikes that Blake is quiet and sometimes anti-social. The only reasons that we're informed about *why* Sun crushes on Blake is because she's a faunus and Sun thinks she's "cool."

By the way, let's contrast that last Sun quote with a similar line from Yang earlier on in Volume 2.

Weiss: Stop. Lately you've been quiet, anti-social and moody.
Yang: Uhh, have you *met* Blake?

Notice that while Yang agrees that those qualities are descriptions of Blake's personality, she's not actively saying that they're necessarily a bad thing. She's accepting of that side of Blake and is shown to appreciate and value their relationship with each other deeply (especially in the second halves of Volumes 2 and 3).

I absolutely believe that Sun's "romance" with Blake isn't going to last and Bees are gonna happen. :)

>>2097814
It all boils down to there not being enough screentime. If Sun was actually a relevant character and we saw him interact with Blake, a lot less people would have a hateboner for Eclipse.
But, with the pacing being what it is, we get an irrelevant character paired with Blake with no exposition.

>>2097816
I strongly disagree with that. It's not *just* a lack of screentime that causes issues for Eclipse. It's the way that pairing is specifically written. Yes, the lack of screentime hurts the pairing, but the lines that *are* there do very little to actually help matters.

Again, the way that Sun is written in regards to Blake is very clearly "I like you because I think you're cool and a faunus." That's it.

Sun shows no appreciation for the actual nuances for who Blake is as an individual (which, ironically enough, is the reason she wears her bow to hide her faunus heritage). If anything, he actually shows signs of somewhat disliking who Blake actually is.

That's all communicated in what little time Eclipse has had on the show. While the ship could still easily be considered to be pretty shallow or at least very underdeveloped due to that limited screentime, I absolutely believe that it could have had more supporters if Sun's dialogue actually indicated an appreciation or respect for who Blake is.

>>2097821
> It's not *just* a lack of screentime that causes issues for Eclipse
I disagree with that. I'm sure that with adequate screentime the pairing would make sense.
In hindsight my argument was pretty weak, since it essentially boiled down to "things would be better if they weren't shit."

>>2097822
The pairing makes sense, it's just shallow and not compelling. There are many pairings that are drawn out a lot longer than Sun and Blake and they're almost just as shallow. Getting more screentime could develop it into something more interesting or it could just be more of the same.

>>2097822
The pairing already makes sense with what little time it's had. It comes down to the simple fact that Eclipse isn't intended to be an endgame romance for Blake.

Sun has the wrong motivations for liking Blake and the last relevant Eclipse scene we got was him seeing Blake holding Yang's hand. That last shot is all about Sun seeing Blake's relationship with Yang and realizing who's actually most important to her. And it's *not* him.

>>2097814
I agree with this in general if not the exact details. While the interpretation of those lines can be argued, I don't think it could be argued that Sun's feelings for Blake are extremely underdeveloped. In show we have no reason to believe Sun has anything more than a crush on Blake.

This is especially bad because Blake and Yang have barely interacted as well. Yet what scenes they do have are high impact, high intensity moments in their developing relationship. Sun and Blake's major interactions were exposition and entirely focused on the White Fang. Nothing about their actual relationship with each other which makes it so disappointing.

>>2097816
I'm actually hoping this was intentional on RT's part. Not every romantic story arc needs to end with success. I would love it if they were setting up Sun to be involved in the Blake-Yang dynamic to help them get back together. This would explain how he was written. Volume 2 establishes he has some feelings for her and his last scene in volume 3 is him realizing that Blake has relationships more important than the one he has with her. Though all this is 100% with goggles on I admit. I standby my criticism of his character as a non-goggle view of his arc so far though.

>>2097821
Agreed, Sun's basic framework is poor. None of his scenes have genuine impact. If you had to recreate RWBY from the beginning, would it really be that hard to remove Sun? He's a flat character without any personal motivations outside of Blake. He is in dire need of character development otherwise he will still just be monkey boy with an interesting fighting style with some shipping bait on the side. There's too little to get invested in.

>>2097828
>more of the same

is my fear. I honestly could get over Bumblebee not happening if Eclipse was well handled. Yet, if RT throws away one of its more interesting character relationships, Blake-Yang. Just to have an underdeveloped, seemingly unimportant romance, that would be too much.

>>2097833
They've spent so much time developing Yang and Blake's relationship, much more than any other group of characters. But it's RT, so bee is going to be thrown under the bus as many times as possible to make room for Eclipse.

>>2097844
But most of the primary folks involved with RWBY at RT have stated they ship Bumblebee. So no, I'm pretty sure they're not screwing fans over with that pairing.

However they have been openly apathetic to White Rose. So yeah, -that- ship almost certainly is not happening.

>>2097847
i'm glad 2bh
no real chemistry and rose deserves better than weiss

How would the fans react if V4 introduces new love interests for Ruby and Weiss. Would there be an uproar? Would the uproar be bigger if the new love interests were males or females?

I guess Weiss would be more likely to come into contact with a new love interest, though at this point, she's practically a bisexual bicycle.

>>2097855
I would be very annoyed. RWBY shouldn't be too focused on romance. Yeah, there will always be some 2-3 romantic subplots going on in any volume, but no more than that. And of those 2-3, one would be the focus and the others more a side note.

If they do what you wrote there would be potential for some half a dozen romances in one volume. Way too much for any of my fighting cartoons.

>Ruby

Would be dumb. We, as the audience, still don't know anything about her other than dead mom, acts 5 years younger than she is, and lolsilvereyes and she's incredibly gay for Weiss. That's nowhere near enough character to base even a half decent romance off of. Shit, right now White Rose would be the most realistic option by default because Weiss is the only character she's had meaningful development with.

>Weiss
I could see a stereotypical douche being introduced as "here's your future hubby, deal with it" more than an actual LI happening. It would further the plot of her fighting her father, as least. And for what it's worth, I think her and Neptune are dead, relationship wise. On different continents, no communication, it would just be shit writing, even shittier than we've come to expect, to have them reunite after however long and act like they desperately missed each other.

I hate Neptune because he's annoying shithead. I like Jaune and would prefer to see him evolve in slow manner to be a hurting badass, but not steal the romance. But whatever.
BUT I DO HATE Neptune's character not because Weiss, but because he is SHIT.

>>2098456
It annoys the shippers of the largest and second largest /u/ ships in a single shot.

Personally. I just was annoyed by a mono shipper. They tried to argue that Weiss and Blake getting coffee/tea showed they were much closer to each other than Blake was to Yang. Even when compared to the scene right before Weiss and Blake leave to hang out. Even when compared to what happens in the last two episodes of the volume. Really my problem is with Weiss fans that think she is literally prefect, without flaws and is a vehicle for their self-insert fantasies.

Otherwise it's no different than any of the other unlikely ships in general.

>>2098456
I look at this and I feel nothing, I'm sorry but I don't.

>>2098416
I can get behind it too, but only if there's more art and better dialogue.
>>2098456
The ship itself is my guilty pleasure. What I dislike is the ridiculous shippers that start inane ship wars.

>>2098456
Monochrome shippers are very often tryhards who always attempt to justify their ship by denigrating the two others which are more popular. Sorry but, I wasn't going to tell you a white lie.

>>2098416
DAAAAMN!

>>2098475
But why? What has this character done that could make you hate him so? Literally the only thing he has done is serve as a means to get Jaune to realize Weiss was a deadend road and to get him to start looking at Pyrrha.

He has done nothing else of significance.

>>2098498

>>2098506
this desu famallama

though to be fair I don't like 97% of all RWBY ships. I like bumblebee and arkos was nice in volume 3.

Mono requires too much fannon to work at the moment for my tastes. Their scenes together were spent fighting and then pretending they still don't have issues with the other one's beliefs. Neither has genuinely accepted the other one for what they believe. Blake still likely believes the SDC is beyond redemption though Weiss may be an okay person. Weiss still just blames her dad and is only just starting to show signs of realizing how bad the company itself is after meeting Flynt. Weiss has lapsed once before into a racist mindset and still needs to fully resolve her personal issue with faunus before Mono can begin to make sense.

There isn't a serious connection between the two that goes beyond their conflict of beliefs. Bees have the episode in volume 2 and volume 3 was partially dedicated to showing how close Yang is to Blake as well as showing (to a much smaller degree) how close Blake is to Yang. Arkos has the whole show basically.

I don't even like Ren/Nora. No substance to build on really, though I imagine RNJR is gonna change that fast in volume 4. So I'm not just targeting mono here.

Mono is fine for fanart and fanfics, but not much else imho

>>2098416
Wasn't this very thing talked about a few threads back? About deadbeat mom sexually abusing Yang and causing a train of molestation in that family line.

>>2098519
>Mono requires too much fannon to work at the moment

>posts headcanon as evidence for how it doesn't work

What?

>>2098537
Sorry, missed the scene when Blake and Weiss are shown to accept the others views. Blake thinks Weiss was right to judge Sun for being a faunus and Weiss thinks Blake is right to think the White Fang are just misunderstood. That happened right? It's not like the next volume isn't being set up to show each of them the other was more right than they would otherwise like. That conflict is already resolved after all.

It's an interpretation, yes and it may be wrong in the details, but it's based on what has actually happened in the show.

>>2098485
>He has done nothing else of significance.

He took up screentime. If a character takes up screentime, they need to do something worthwhile to not be hated.

>>2098551
You mean Sun, the thief, who's illegally stowing away to get to the country the first time RWBY sees him? Weiss is perfectly willing to accept Blake when she says she's done with the White Fang at the end of V1, her dislike towards Faunus is fairly mild, it's the White Fang she hates, and Blake herself doesn't believe the White Fang are "just misunderstood" by the end of that mini arc. She knows they are a group of criminals who need to be stopped. You don't need "the next" volume, they've been resolving this issue since The Stray.

This is what I was talking about. It's like you ignore what actually happened in the show in favor of

>N-no, it just seems like they are getting along fine. Really, behind the scenes and off-screen they don't like each other and still think they are right, I swear.

That's not an interpretation based on what has actually happened in the show, it's ignoring what happened in the show in favor of a headcanon that assumes the exact opposite.

>>2098551

Uh. That's sort of what what they do. Weiss resolves to be less judgemental of Faunus, starting with accepting Blake for who she is and trying to give Sun a chance (and nearly getting a robot to the face for Velvet in Vol 3) and Blake accepts that the White Fang have gone bad and spends most of Vol 2 freaking out about stopping them, and then takes on Adam to protect some random human student. She also stops thinking less of Weiss for being a Schnee.

>>2098485

It's more than he's voiced by one of the writers and unlike Jaune is deliberately written as a too cool for everyone handsome guy who Weiss (voiced by Kerry's apparantly crush in office) is instantly smitten with.

Vol 3 kind of tuned this down and made Neptune just as dorky as Sun, but there's a reason people said Kerry was writing him as his marty sue self insert to fantasize over wooing Kara.

Real subtle, Red

Any do's and dont's for writing fanfic?

I've started some bumblebee. Nothing too hard, just some Yang angst and eventual fluff. Post-V.3.

>>2101817
Don't get too fixated on a particular goal. If you force the plot towards a certain scenario it often comes off as clunky when the characters and events leading there have to be illogical.
The plot should always be the result of the characters and the environment they are in, and never the other way around.
Also, for the love of god, don't name the fic after OST lyrics or anything related to ship names. Three quarters of the fics already do that.

>>2101817
Don't start using song lyrics in any fanfic context, it's pure fucking cringe every time.

>>2101893

Guessing it happens a lot? Not read much myself, but yeah, sounds like it'd be pretty cringe-worthy.

>>2101900
Search "Red Like Roses" on ff.net. I dare you.

>>2101900
If you took all the fanfics on the first page of the RWBY category of ff.net there'll always be at least 3 which use lyrics and story side by side, which is a cardinal sin, or at least 5 with a lyric title. It's a real problem.

>>2101902
Basically this.

>>2101904
Lyrical titles aren't as much of a sin, but songfics, in general, are garbage.

And they're /everywhere/.

>>2101904
Clichéd titles are everywhere. If the fic has Weiss in a central role the title is almost guaranteed to have something to do with cold. Same with fire, shadows and roses with the rest of her teammates, respectively.
Also, synopses. Jesus Christ, half of them are identical. "An ancient evil has awoken and new dangers rise, can [character X] rise to the occasion? Who can they trust?"
That tells me fucking nothing of importance about the fic. Nobody ever has been drawn in to a story by a blurb like that.

God no. And the RWBY fandom has is good, comparatively, because the songs are already about the characters. Some other fandoms get really bad about it.

>>2101906
There needs to be a scorched earth campaign to just remove all of them, there's no such thing as a good songfic.

>>2101524
Could be either, honestly. In big cities like LA you can rent time in a recording studio, and let's be real, it's not like their audio is spectacular on RWBY anyway; Arryn might be able to get by with a good mic and a really quiet room. But she also could've done it in advance; they've probably had the scripts for awhile now.

Guilty. I hate "Cold as Ice" too, but I was young and dumb and too late to change it now.

Panties. I would have had no problem at all if that was it.
I think it's probably the best one. For some reason, I kind of like the idea of Ruby and Yang being extremely lezzed-out after the dance. It's still not as good as all those RWBY ahegao faces I found on gelbooru that I gave super gay filenames to.

>Hyped for new WR from based writefag. Waited until it was completed so I could read it in one sitting.

I don't know why but to me it felt like there was "something" missing from it. I think that XTZ
wanted to write a romantic/smut piece, but they got terribly sidetracked. There was too much going on between them and it was happening all at once (the sex came literally out of nowhere and it felt out of place). I think it would have been better if this was written in more than two chapters.

>>2101817
Less obvious one, but if you're gonna put in an author's note at the start/end of a chapter keep it brief.

Don't be like those fic writers who do a little comedy sketch where they're talking to their characters or whatever, brevity or nobody will read it, just explain the thing in as few words as possible then crack on with the fic.

$6212 with 58 backers puts us at an average donation of $107.1 so that's a little high for it to be purely the generosity of the general public. Three people have pledged at least $750 and we have seven in the $250 and $100 tiers. Those stretch goals are pretty wacky with 20 days to go and not even being at 20% of the original. What's even their plan if they only get enough for one episode? Just use the profit from that (if there is any) to hobble along to the next and so on and so fourth?

They list Kuma as part of their staff down at the bottom but they refer to her as a RWBY fan artist, is she actually on the team or did they just commission her for something then leaver her there because it's pretty?

What are the chances of us learning more about Neo in Volume 4?

And will we ever see Mint flavoured Neo again?

>>2104536
They would've just axed her if they didn't intend to use her in the future. I doubt that she'll have a major or speaking role, though.

>>2104537
I honestly hope she never speaks. Like ever. I don't want there to be a "Oh she can TALK!" scene.
I want her to be a mute forever, it adds to her charm which is essentially a giant middle finger as she dances around your attacks.

When will we get the proper release of the vol 4 trailer?

>>2104540
Yeah. The smug muteness is the only real part of her character we've seen outside of that brief glimpse when Roman screamed her name.
She's been around since forever, so everyone has already accepted her being mute.
Really, her being mute makes her character so much more interesting than the "oh she can TALK!" scene ever could.
>>2104542

It'll never happen but it'd be fun.

>>2104543
I really don't think she is going to speak. They said they got a VA for her, but if they were still going to use her they had a lot of opportunities in the last season they didn't use. I think they're just gonna stick with her never talking.

>>2104308
This is awful, lol. It's like they paid (or planned to pay for all these high profile/mid tier VA's (Christina Vee, Jennifer Hale, Amanda Miller etc.)
but then forgot they shouldn't their animation choppy and lifeless, shouldn't rip off RWBY, and should actually design interesting characters. And all of that should take priority over VA's. RWBY has all of the prior things at this point (animation might still need work), but early on (correct me if i'm wrong) a lot of the VA's where either in-house at RT or they were pretty amateurish.

>>2104684

Except for mysterious narrator (who turned out to be Salem) everyone else in the Vol 1 cast was either RT staff or friends of RT staff that were apparantly doing it for very little.

This wasn't due to budget reasons though so much as Monty actually wanting his friends at RT to do them as they're the voices he had in mind when he made the characters except for Arryn as Blake who was just kind of shoe horned in because Miles wanted her on the show, but she was still an amateur.

>>2104724
>except for Arryn as Blake who was just kind of shoe horned in because Miles wanted her on the show
Source?

>>2104724
Still though, just proves you don't need top va's to make a good show/webseries.

>>2104738
Nothing solid but it was brought up in bits and pieces in the podcasts/commentaries and whatnot back around V1. Something like Blake was the only VA Monty didn't have a solid plan for, and Miles suggested his girlfriend because she was looking for acting work.

Was at a theater screening of RWBY volume 2 and got to see an episode of RWBY chibi early

Theres a sort of /u/ bit where Yang, Ruby, and Weiss are about to have a race and Blake is counting them down. When only Yang and Blake are in frame Blake is looking right at her and blushing

My friend who dosnt even wear goggles watching the show was talking about all the bumblebee pushing recently. Maybe it'll actually happen, lets just hope RT also dosnt decide to do a bury your gays trope

>>2105190
They're not gonna bury any gay if they're the main characters of the show. But they sure as hell can refuse canon gay and beat around the bush.

>>2105195
I'm just here waiting to see May on the background, holding hands with girl.

>>2105200
I doubt they're gonna go for the "everyone is gay" approach. There are plenty of male characters, and this is no Lucky Star. If we're getting something, it's going to be Bumblebee and nothing more. The romance will be handled in a shitty manner and we'll all be pissed.

>>2105202
I mean, May is an entirely inconsequential character, and the fandom likes to joke about her being gay. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them play along with the joke.
The gay character they mentioned is going to be Ren, which will enrage more people than any single ship could

>>2105204
They announced Ren being gay? Even though Nora/Ren isn't a shitty hetship unlike Jaune/Ruby? what the actual fuck rooster teeth

>>2105208
I think a joke just went flying over your head full speed, sis.

>>2105208
Of course they didn't announce that, you silly goose.
Ren being gay would just make the most people angry, which is hilarious considering that abominations like Iceberg exist.

>>2105204
>The gay character they mentioned is going to be Ren, which will enrage more people than any single ship could

As someone who likes both /u/ and NoraxRen, my salt level would be off the charts. So, yes. This is pretty much confirmed now.

>>2105211
I swear to fucking god there, I was so out of the loop I thought it was real.

But as >>2105215 pointed out, this is Rooster Teeth we're talking about, and if they're gonna fuck it up, since they're gonna fuck it up, they're going to do it in the worst possible way.

>>2105222
I don't know sis. There is plenty of potential character development to be found in unrequited love.

>>2105226
I beg your pardon, but is RWBY a show filled to the brim with character development?

>>2105437
When RWBYg got kicked off /co/ they migrated to /trash/, and there further split to RWBYg and RWBYgt since the CYOA/OC content didn't fit in with the regular stuff.

>>2105439
Im sorry im pretty new to this place, and this is all just confusing me

>>2105440
/co/ is the board for comics and cartoons. RWBYg is the RWBY general (=thread which is recreated when it's about to be die).
Since it's hiatus there was no content to talk about and the shitposting made mods ban the recurring threads. The people didn't want to stop, so they moved to the hidden /trash/ thread which has barely any rules.
There was already a RWBY general there, filled with people who wanted to post their Create Your On Adventure stuff and original characters, which were shunned out of /co/.
Lurk more

I tried looking up some Neo X Yang fics earlier but all the ones I found either have Neo talking, outright breaking character, or Yang warming up to her way too easily.

You know, this is going to be hard. Either's she's a secondary character, either Yang will magically know sign language, or she just won't manage to convince Yang to love her.

>>2105888
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11596475/1/Silence-Isn-t-Golden

>>2105891
You can convey a character without them speaking directly or using some other form of written or sign language.

It's just a little more tricky. Besides, the idea of Neo trying to (eventually) convey her feelings to someone that hates her would be an interesting read.

>>2105893
Convey a character, yes. But convince Yang to like a girl that she hates? Who looks like she's just toying with her because she actually is?

>>2105894
That's right, it'd be an incredibly difficult thing for Neo to achieve.

Then again... I never said she had to succeed ;_;
