Honestly, Ruby freaking out about what she did to Cinder and becoming scared of what she's able to do with Silver Eyes would be an interesting character moment. Like without even bringing shipping into the equation.

There's this magical ability called learning to ignore shit. Nothing's stopping you from posting monochrome. Don't give me shit about the season either. If you forgot, BB subsisted on pretty much nothing for the first two seasons compared to a ship that was entirely conceptual until 2nd season where it got propelled into getting a hint.

Boy, that's some obnoxious watermarking.

>>2173120
>>2173120
When you are first starting out at something, it takes a lot of effort to produce things, so you're more inclined to be possessive of the thing or invested in it. It's also sort of a monkey-see monkey-do thing. Places like dA are really big into "THIS IS MINE DO NOT STEAL IT, ASK PERMISSIONS AND CITE ME".
Once you are fairly decent, and people know you/your style it starts to matter a lot less unless you are trying to monetize or are just ones of those people who's really possessive about your work. People at that point also understand a shitty watermark can ruin a drawing.

>>2173333
You really suggesting that you can't achieve meaningful character development without dialogue?Nice quads
>>2173338
It's not impossible (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11596475/1/Silence-Isn-t-Golden is a good one) but if you want to have extended interactions between the characters there has to be some back-and-forth between them. Holding up signs just isn't really enough unless you're some sort of magician.
>>2173344
Silence isn't Golden is pretty good yeah, but as you said, it's not impossible, not even for the longer ones. It's just... Well, a lot more difficult. But it's certainly do-able.
I'm not the original person asking for a Yang x Neo fic recommendation, but I understand what they're after. When people write Neo as speaking it almost feels like they're breaking her character just to make her... Usable? If that makes sense.

But Fallen Petals is canon.
>>2173452
It's bullshit.
>>2173453
I think it's progressive.
>>2173345
This is pretty accurate. I personally prefer fics that are a canon divergence rather then an AU because it's a better chance of the author keeping people in character. Having Neo talk, imo, takes away from what makes her character work. Neo is a very expressive character and her actions speak for her. Having her talk just feels like it takes away from that quality of her.
>>2173453
Hooray!!!
>>2173495
>Neo is a very expressive character and her actions speak for her
This is true, but having a character express themselves exclusively through actions is a lot more challenging in a written medium. An expression of emotion that would take only a sentence of dialogue and a small detail of movement can now take a paragraph.
Though those who read fanfiction are usually more forgiving of "poor" writing techniques so I suppose you could just substitute depth for lots of telling in order to keep Neo in character.

>>2173659
I have to agree with this anon >>2173664.
Would have killed Yang if her mom hadn't showed up.
Would have killed Ruby if Roman didn't want to gloat.
In both instances she had a cruel smile on her face.
It's really not that big of a logic leap to see her as a sadist of sorts.

Monochrome is a quick fling relationship, not a long lasting one. Realistically, Weiss and Blake wouldn't be able to stay together in the long run. Blake is too devoted to Faunus rights, Weiss too devoted to the Schnee line. Whiterose makes much more sense, personality wise as well. Ruby's youthful enthusiasm and caring, innocent heart perfectly balances Weiss' cold personality. I've seen people with Blake's and Weiss' personality date before, and they always self destruct because neither has any warmth of real caring to bring to the relationship, and they end up fighting and divided in the end. The Xiao-Long / Rose sisters are the perfect counterbalance to Weiss and Blake's dour, closed personalities. Weiss needs someone to get her to open up and fully commit to a healthy relationship; so does Blake. If they dated, it might work at first, but two closed-hearted people can never truly be together. That's why so many people ship Whiterose and Bumblebee. Angst and tragedy is all well and good, but as far as a healthy, long-last relationship is concerned, Monochrome doesn't really have what it takes.
>>2175240
>Blake is too devoted to Faunus rights, Weiss too devoted to the Schnee line
These aren't mutually exclusive.
Weiss is devoted to redeeming the Schnee line, and Faunus are the group the family has caused the most harm to. Besides, I'm not sure where you're getting this supreme devotion from, both of them were willing to put aside the above because they felt being a huntress was more worthwhile. Blake didn't care enough about Faunus rights to stop Cardin from harassing Velvs.
>they always self destruct because neither has any warmth of real caring to bring to the relationship
Seems unfounded and hypocritical.
If neither had any warmth or real caring to bring to the relationship, BB and WR would be equally unhealthy and short-lasting relationships, because you'd have a single caring and open individual and then someone cold-hearted. I don't know why you'd think "annoying", high energy Ruby who has really never experienced any tragedy in her life up until V3E9 (as per Yang's story she was too young to really understand Summer's loss) would be more able to get Weiss to open up and fully commit than someone who has had the same sort of issues of growing up part of a conflict and being haunted by the actions and expectations of those you considered family.
There's a reason that group therapy and things like AA exist. It is a lot easier to work through/past things when you are working through them with someone who has been in the same place than someone who has no point of reference and very few cares in the world. People like that just make the problem worse because they create a sense of isolation, i.e. that you are the only one dealing with the problems.
Opposites attract is a meme. That is the situation that is short term and likely to fail, because it is based on the novelty of being around someone so vastly different, rather than someone you can relate to, talk to, do things you both enjoy, etc.

>>2175240
>>2175246
>That's why so many people ship Whiterose and Bumblebee
Additionally, this is completely and entirely false.
WR and BB were being shipped before the show even began and we had any idea what the four girls were like, or that they were even partnered up in those pairs (or partners/a team at all). The reason WR and BB are so popular is that they were the first two sets of girls.
The Red trailer came out and the White trailer came out and people were already shipping them, and then Black and Yellow came out and they paired off those two as well. Then the first few episodes came out, and Weiss was tsuntsun, so it fueled the shipping. It's a fairly easy pattern to recognize. What's the third and fourth pairing that the show suggests? Renora and Arkos. Do you see how they are the third and fourth most popular ships in the fandom?
The pattern was further reinforced by the continued tension between Ruby and Weiss in early V1, and by the time it started to die down, WR was far and away the most popular and because of this (and having the most, and highest quality artists, like Kuma) it continued to attract additional poeple to it. It's hard for something like Freezerburn to attract any people when it has next to no fan content (even though that pairing has the exact same warm/cold-hearted dynamic you are talking about) whereas White Rose and BB have so much content that it's very easy to get behind them.
It's positive reinforcement. People did WR/BB first, so content was made, so that's what people saw the most, so that's what got shipped even more, rinse and repeat.
It has very little to absolutely nothing to do with the long-term relationship capability of the ships. Hell, 90% of the content is short-term to begin with, so the afformentioned viability means nothing.
>>2175252
>Additionally, this is completely and entirely false.
Not that anon, but you can't make claims like this and then pull proof out of your ass.
Yes, shipping started with the trailers, but your conclusion that all current fans of the show have been watching since then or consume as much fan content as you is unfounded. Unless you can provide proof that the influx of Bumblebee shippers stems from this positive reinforcement that you claim, why should I not assume it was the events of volume 3's conclusion? Or a combination of the two with the in show moments playing the bigger influence?
We can't prove which ships are the most popular or for what reasons they are. Nora and Ren is often mentioned online as being the most popular yet there is hardly any online fan content produced of them in comparison to other ships that are seemingly less popular. Why is that? Who fucking knows. We can only guess.
I think you seriously underestimate the effects volume 3 had on the fandom's perceptions of Blake and Yang's relationship. I wouldn't entirely discount it without very good reasoning.
Also, comparing relationship dynamics in fiction to reality is a waste of time imho. The two are almost nothing alike in the vast majority of stories. When was the last time the universe bent itself around your life to hint that maybe you have feelings for someone by having their possible ex-boyfriend show up suddenly and cut your arm off while your school is burning down? Or had a deep talk about obsession because you are losing sleep over tracking down a terrorist and this single conversation is enough to turn your whole life around until said (maybe) ex-boyfriend shows up?
Maybe there's a few similarities, but I wouldn't use those to judge any ship too much, Bumblebee or Monochrome. This is fiction and we can't assume the writers are going to let reality dictate to them what happens next when RWBY isn't real.
>>2175337
>your conclusion
I never made that conclusion. That's the point of the positive loop. New people see RWBY and go looking for fanart. Even if they don't go looking for shipping art, what will they find? White Rose. Bumblebee. Arkos. Those will be the first three ship ideas in their heads, the three they are constantly bombarded with, and even if they ship something else, Mono, Freezerburn, etc. They're going to have a very tough time finding much content and their interest is going to fade. Anyone who is shipping and recognizable as shipping (talking about shipping) is going to be consuming some content, and thus be influenced by that content.
>Nora and Ren... Why is that?
Because outside of WR, BB, and Arkos, fan content comes from a very few individuals who ship that. It has more content than the vast majority of ships and the few that aren't BB/WR and have more tend to have a high number of pieces from 1-2 people.
>When was the last time the universe...
What? Are you implying that Adam only showed up to show that Blake and Yang love each other?
>Or had a deep talk about obsession...
I really wouldn't call a story about dumb kid doing dumb things a "deep", or stepping back a bit on your search for the enemy "turning your whole life around" but sure, fiction is different than reality.
But that doesn't mean you can't use it as a metric. Anything works in fiction, because it's fiction. You can't judge any ship by it's potential in fiction, because at any moment the writers can say fuck it, and make an arbitrary choice. Hence the original comment about Mono feeling more "natural", it has a realistic basis given the character's pasts, personalities and motivations I'm not assuming the writers are going to let a realistic approach dictate what will happen next. As I said at the start, BB will probably be canon. I just think it feels like more of a forced development to appease fans than the alternative.
That's nice but why are there no pictures of Bumblebee tribbing?
>reads all the other post above this one
It's times like this that I'm grateful that I like a simple love/hate ship.
>>2175490
The only one I have is one that I altered a while back as a joke. I'm sure some sister here will recognize the art style to find the original.

Hiwo with the most underappreciated ship ever

Interview with all the VAs at some con this week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klNECP78hZ0
A lot of it is shit we've heard a thousand times before, with a couple notables:
>Weiss is starting to really like Ruby
>Arryn had some tangent about prejudice/LGBT and something about "staying true to character," it was not said very coherently
>fan asked how all the shipping affects the writing, "not at all, writers are staying with the pre-established vision" (the fan looked sufficiently crushed afterwards)
>of course, Arryn and Barb had little lovey-dovey moments throughout. If I didn't know any better I'd have thought those two were desperately in love
>>2175827
If I recall Arryn started talking about the LGBT stuff in the same sentence talking about Blake's character and the problems she faces which started with the whole Faunus stuff.
Is it a straw we can firmly grasp?
>>2175833
Is that even a question?
>>2175714
So, what are the odds Blake doesn't have a brother,but a sister?
>>2175887
I'm hoping for motherwho calls her kitten all the timewhich Yang picks up on after their reunion
Seriously though, Blake runs from Adam to protect those she loves, and ends up with her actual family? Solid plan.
>>2175892
Blake is a World Champion fuckup and I love it.
>>2175892
yfw, she ran to her family because Adam knows where they live and she know they will be his first targets.
>>2175892
It's not like Blake ever said WHY she ran, people just assumed it was to protect them.
I'd sooner believe she was just guilty because of her past catching up to her and hurting someone she cares about, and she couldn't bring herself to face Yang because of it.
>>2175992
I believe this the most but I also belive it could be to prevent Yang specifically being a target too. I mean she is defenseless now
>>2175552
Yang is one of the few characters in any media that I am totally down with shipping with many different partners. In fact, she might be the only one. I don't know what it is, but there are at least six different girls that come to mind at this moment that I think she's absurdly hot with.I actually like most of them even more than Bumblebee, honestly.
>>2176039
>not paying attention to context
I'm trying to bring in possibilities for more lesbians sis. When people were talking about the opening, there were guesses that Blake'spossibly?sibling was her brother. Looking at a still frame though, they very well could be her sister instead.Looks more feminine than Sun, anyway
>>2176091
Most common theories I've seen say she's Blake's mother since she's got age lines under her eyes like the dad

>>2176314I was hoping for a full Weiss episode that'd end with a Blake scene.
If we're going to do this half-and-half thing with RNJR, I don't think we're going to get much development from WBY. It felt like there wasn't nearly enough attention on Weiss.
>>2176317Silly sis, how is Jaune supposed to get screentime if the entire episode was Weiss?
>>2176103
I can't wait for Yang to meet Mommadonna and make inappropriate comments to Blake about how hot her mom is.
>>2176324At least show his sisters in that case.Also, add one Mama Schnee to the Schneenanigans ship. Also looks like Mama Schnee was Atlas military, and Winter copying her hairstyle may indicate she aspired to be like her and joined the military as a result?
Papa Schnee married into the family, he had black hair.
New kid is a shit.
Image spoilered. Two men in it, it's the Schnee family portrait.
>>2176329
Forgot to actually spoiler image. FML.
Everyone hit the fucking deck.

>Some random guy who got unusual amount of screentime, probably going to be revealed as the spring "maiden"

And here I thought Nanoha suffered from a bloated cast. I bet episode 1 is the most we'll see Ruby all season
>>2176331
>guy
>spring "maiden"
Haven't we already been through how the maidens must be female? I wouldn't be surprised if he appears again, but he's no maiden.
>>2176339
What if he's "trans"? Meaning he was born female.
>>2176339
She's pretending to be a boy to hide from Salem and Friends.
>>2176314
>mfw just now realizing that they stick Ruby into Juan's story instead of progressing Ruby's story and her growth as a character.
Welcome back to the Juan show everybody! Not RWBY! Not even the JNR show!
The J.U.A.N. show
>>2176366
His name is Jaune but I get your point
>>2176374
Maybe Jaune's semblance is that he can speak spanish
>>2176389
Why spanish? It should be french
>>2176317
It's to be expected since RNJR is the only one of the four actually following up on the main plot line.
>>2176314
Wow, this episode was shit. Or at least that Jaune part was.
It's a shame soo many RT sheeple like Jaune so much. His inclusion and screen-time stealing is really detrimental to the series' storytelling as a whole.
Precious time that can be used for some character development is getting swallowed whole by his mere presence.
Take for example the map scene. Where Jaune babbles on about his family. It would've been okay if it was a setup for a retort by Ruby saying something regarding her family or shed some light on her childhood, but no, she was just there.
>>2176455
You people still expect things out of RWBY? How even?
>>2176455
Did you expect something else form RT's hit show "Jaune"?
You know what the best part about all of this is? During an interview Miles stated that the audience didn't like it when they focused on a single character, this of course being in reference to Vol 1's Jaune arc.
This led to him deciding that he wouldn't focus on a single character over a period of time, no one, not just Jaune.
And then... Suddenly it's just... It's just fucking Jaune again. Like... I don't even.
>>2176461
I Jaune dead and buried.
>>2176456
Idk, anon.
I mean, V3's tail-end seemed like they were slightly on the path of improvement. But then V4 came and it seemed like were back to that Jaune arc from V1.
But I guess it was dumb of me to expect things from RWBY because the writers are still the same hacks as before.
This anon said it best >>2176461
>>2175827
>If I didn't know any better I'd have thought those two were desperately in love
If I also didn't know any better, I'd probably agree.
They're definitely BFF's though.
>>2176471
Kara and Lindsay should take some notes.
at least the homoqueen still has a pretty smile
>>2176471
barbara is so fucking hot
arryn has manface
in any case, real life shipping is cancer, plz stop
>>2176314
So did anyone else notice the"THIS IS A LANCASTER-ONLY SHOW. FUCK YOU WHITE ROSE FANS!" huge neon sign?It made me throw up.

Thank goodness we get sweet sweet Bellamomma next week, r-right?
>>2176769
I feel like we were a little spoiled by getting Winter last volume, though.
She's way too hot.
>>2176771
Winter is not hot.
>>2176776
>>2176757
>doubting M&K are shitty enough writers to do that
Please. We all know they would.
>>2176769
None of the boys in RWBY are cute. They're too realistically teenage--bland, dorky, average, kiddie, etc. Only the men are cute. That's how it should be in media tbqh.
>>2176761
RWBY was always very het with like 5% lesbian subtext that may or may not be intentional.
>>2176757
Weiss could be shown in the epilogue married to a faceless male at 30 and with three happy kids, and people will still write fanfics where she is in an unhappy marriage (and probably using a beard) and needs Ruby to sweep her off her feet. Ships never die.
>>2175833
I always associated faunus speciesism with racism however they could go the mutant/Elsa route and have it represent discrimination in general.
>>2176785
>Weiss could be shown in the epilogue married to a faceless male at 30 and with three happy kids
You owe me after ruining my dinner with this.
>>2176793
Sorry. It just seems like Weiss would be the token straight one if there was one. I can't see Ruby with a boyfriend (either gay or single forever) and both Blake and Yang seem pretty bi. I would prefer if Weiss was repressed and gay but I can't see that happening in canon.
>>2176798
They're all gay sis, you just need to turn up your goggles. Even Nora, by far the straightest girl on the show, craves womanly affections sometimes.
>>2173103
Still mad over her not having a tail. Even being a bob tail would have been fine,
>>2175552
I always appreciate the baked Alaska shippers in these threads. you girls are great.
How popular is RWBY in Japan?
I noticed Dowman Seiman (best mangaka) drew Ruby and it got me thinking about it.
>>2176892
It follows the jap formula
>cute girls
>cool weapons and powers
>monsters to use said cool weapons and powers on
>cat girls, bunny girls ect
>yuri subtexts (very important)
>high school setting
>the use of legends/stories to form a character (like how Weiss is based off of Snow White i mean just look at Touhou japs love that stuff)
tl:dr japs love cute girls
>>2176898
Oops i answered 'why' not 'how' sry
>>2176892
there's a literal manga based on it
there's doujins based on it
It's incredibly popular for a foreign work
>>2176892
It's the epitome of being "nice roman"
>>2176892
The V1 BD topped BD sales the week it released, and sold enough that IIRC they're also localizing 2 and 3.

>I mean, V3's tail-end seemed like they were slightly on the path of improvement. But then V4 came
This. So much this.
Sure, the fight scenes were worse (though they were sure as hell better than what we're getting now) but the cinematography, the dialogue, the pacing, everything was improving.
Jaune was the perfect example of that, too. In season three, his story was supposed be the climax of his relationship with Pyhrra. Seasons one and two would have out the entire story on pause for that, but season 3 actually tried to weave it into the the overall story.
Now here we are in season 4, and once again the story has to be put on pause until Jaune gets his story development.
How did we get here? Why are we even here?

What are your top three ships in RWBY?
Why do you like them so much?
>>2176747
Not really I think you're seeing what your persecution complex wants you to see, Lancaster will not happen I'd bet my signed merchandise on it.
>>2177040
They're just afraid of having their toys taken away.
Yes there was a lot of Jaune, but even then there was more Ruby than most episodes of the show. Pyrrha's death was kind of the biggest deal in terms of what happened last season and it would be more than a little criminal to not having some echoes of the space she left. The night training scene was actually pretty effective, the Jaune Show is some insipid shit but it's only episode 2 (or 1 if this was a regular show) I'm not without hope that the paradigm will shift as we move forward.
>>2177016Was that an RvB reference, Sis?
>>2177126
>but even then there was more Ruby than most episodes of the show
Look sis, no offense, but I don't think we should go into "grateful mode" just because Ruby got 40 seconds of screentime instead of the usual 30. Jaune being in the forefront of everything in the show is still a problem.
And until M&K just fess up and outright say they want to retool RWBY into JUAN, people are free to complain about him taking away practically a season's amount of screentime from the characters whose names are plastered in the title.

>>2177067
Monochrome.
Baked Alaska.
Schnee's Bees.
I began hating Monochrome and only shipping Bumblebee-White Rose. Thanks to some fics on Ao3, Monochrome grew on me. In reverse, WR and BB got boring over time. So I began getting even more into Monochrome.
Dunno. I just do.
Monochrome + Bumblebee works well.
>>2176892
I'm mad it got a Japanese dub before a Spanish or French one. I wanted to practice my Spanish skills watching RWBY.
>>2177168
I remember a rapeplay fic on Ao3. Close enough? It's all consensual roleplay but that isn't revealed 'till the end.

>>2177240
People who like het ships like Jaune a lot, as I am unpleasantly reminded every time I look for fresh fics.
And speaking of fics, I still haven't had time to hammer out that RWBY-Metro fusion, but I am still working on it. Can't decide whether to age up the characters or dial back the intimacy scenes, what say /u/?
>>2177228
So fucking homo.
>>2177279
Metro doesn't seem like the series to really have the intimacy you're expecting so dial back, maybe?
>>2177240
Judging by youtube comments and shit, Jaune seems to be the most popular individual character, unfortunately.
In terms of shipping, however, he gets a decent amount of attention from the fans, but nothing special. Ren seems to be the favorite of hetshippers.
In terms of the dedicated fandom, however, yuri dominates. I wish I had saved it, but there was this image showing the number of fanfics and stuff for each ship following season 3, and it was dominated by yuri couples, bumblebee in particular.
And that's one of the most interesting things, the fact that this show relies so much on word-of-mouth advertising, means they'll have to throw the yuri fandom a bone eventuallyat least if they have any common sense, and I think a lot of people are waitingprobably in vainto see how that pans out.
>>2177507
Being throw a bone would probably be the equivalent to a stab wound with all the people not used to it and who will so readily accept anything.
>>2177228
>Ruby coming alone to see Weiss again
It'll never happen, but goddamn i want it to
>>2177461
Last Light did have that first person topless lap dance and beginnings of a sex scene, though.
>>2177552
Wouldn't really view that as the intimacy the guy was referring to. Sides that sounds more like a Yang thing
>>2177279
Well, it all depends on what kind of ships your gunning for
For White Rose, for example, Ruby as a low class Ranger type such as Artyom and Weiss as an upperclass Red Line soldier. Forbidden love, separated by class/rank, etc etc
>Ruby meets up with Weiss in the tunnels while escaping aliens/monsters
>mutually agree to stick together in order to survive
>Ruby keeps Weiss' spirits up while Weiss keeps her out of danger
>slow burn relationship
>have to chose between loyalty to one another or their respective factions
Lotta potential with this one, sis

>>2177573
Well I remember hearing that Arryn is bisexual, so it could happen. Maybe.
>>2177583
Shipping real people is always weird, and Arryn has shown her distaste for it, but every time they go to a con or event together, they'realmostas gay asWeiss
>>2177584
Strong words there friend.
>>2177067
My favorite is White Rose, as it has been from the very start. I don't really know how to put to words why I like it so much. I just think they're perfect for each other.
There's a few other ships I like but I don't think I can rank them.
>>2177584
That's pretty fucking gay.

That's it we're coming up with a better name than this. This is too good a ship for these shit names.
>>2177647
Not in the pic I posted, baby sis. The iDubbz thing.
>>2177662
Kindlegem?
>>2177662
I'd go with something evocative of how Emerald is her voice/ emotional support right now, but I can't think of anything.
>>2177662
>thinking those names are terrible
I mean if you're bad. Those names are great
>>2177644
Rubles' teammate can't be that cute.or the artist is named iDubbz
>>2177745
This is a good idea.
Something involving Emerald being a theif and Cinder being mute at the moment maybe?
I always thought Blazing Saddles was a shit name, honestly. Just never cared enough about the ship to try thinking of a better one.

y8ay8a
"I’m really sad, I’d tweeted my drawing at them as soon as I finished it and they didn’t see, and then some random guy tweeted it also and Barb retweeted his tweet and now I’m heartbroken o(╥﹏╥)o I wanted senpai to notice me (/ω\) someone hold me, am I being petty, I’m really sad though"
Something has bothered me:
Once Ruby breaks down from the pressure, who should be the best one to cool her down?
>>2178562
Neo. She is ice cream, after all.
How many times a day does Salem rape Cinder?
>>2178562
The picture of Weiss she keeps in her cleavage, of course.

17 but Em is always watching, waiting for her turn

Zero. Salem is Cinder's doting evil stepmother. She's so so very proud of her.
>>2178702
if Salem really is meant to play the step-mother part to Cinder, then she's going to be using and abusing her for sure
A lot of the yuri art for RWBY seems to involve eating out Weiss.

It wouldn't surprise me if Arryn actually went to Y8ay8a's page after someone mentioned them in Barb's tweet, saw how upset they were about being noticed and then decided to tweet them themselves. She even put it on her instragram, and knowing just how sweet and kind Arryn is, it really wouldn't surprise me if this was the case.

Butler was changing eye color when cheering up our little lesbian.Weiss to those of you joining us
>>2180050
Ha ha, noooo....
>>2179522Is that so?
>>2180050It's because Weiss is Snow White. Klein is the seven dwarves. We saw Grumpy, Bashful (I think), Happy and Sneezy.

That thing hasn't been updated in a while, so it's probably been up there longer than you think.

What's the reason behind using "!" between futa and character?
>>2177187

If you have MPC, press D and look for sp subs
>>2180476
Honestly, I have no idea. People use it when they're referring to a genderbent version of a character, too (as opposed to just femName). Maybe to make it clearer that you're talking about a pure fanon thing?
For instance, this picture containsfem!Ren.

I remade the fic list a lil while back. I plan to update it again sooner then later. Our old fic list was just WR and had been around for a long time

any other good stories of Best Pair?

Check the Personals has enabler on the side but it's not "real" enabler, as in they aren't related.
while we're talking fics, Brighter has been updated

I'm not having a persecution complex, I'm just seeing blatant character "development" that points towards only one thing. You, however, have your goggles too tight.

>No Jaune awfulness
What the fuck is going on? Is this some kind of parallel...
>Sun appears saving Blake
Aah, that's the M&K I know.
Sometimes I wonder if they legit think that the audience can't relate if the girls aren't constantly interacting with one of the established male characters. That captain was perfectly set up for some backstory dump/character development from Blake, but nope, let's shove Sun in there to take up any and all of Blake's development/interactions.
>>2182022
your goggles are on too tight, Blake was not cold towards Sun by any means. It was classic tsundere
>>2182063
It was a mix of both. She seemed genuinely upset that Sun thought she was going on some adventure of wacky hijinks to stop the WF solo. But the fight scene did feel pretty cliche tsundere shit.
I dunno. It's too early to make a call especially because the moment we get a scene implying Bumblebee or that Blake doesn't like Sun a decent portion of the fandom will runaway with it. It could be that MK doesn't want to give anything away and so are writing around BB happening eventually to avoid spoiling their own storyline.
Or it could be exactly what it looks like.
>>2182076
It's not going to be anything. They teased blake/sun this episode, next episode they'll tease blake/yang. Literally the entire series so far has been shiptease barring side characters lke Pyrrha. There's not going to be any definite pairings of the main girls, because creators know that's going to piss off too much of the fanbase. It'll be continuous shiptease.

Those are still being paid for. I'm grateful for Patreon because it allows artists to draw shit I like quickly and regularly and most artists release some stuff for free.
>>2182089
>most high quality art museums are free
Are you real? Do you really think those artists life off of water and sunlight?

>implying most artists live off their art and not other means while making art
>>2182097
Most artists release everything for free, and there are plenty of people who use Patreon well instead of shit like the above one, where paying $20 a month means you still have to buy previously released art in $10 packs (including the discount from paying that $20 a month).
>>2182140
Yes.
>>2182186
>implying most artists live off their art and not other means while making art
>Decide not to life off doing what you love and instead get a minimum-wage job so that anonymous hissyfit-throwers can view your content without paying
Just stop.
>>2182186
Does that mean they shouldn't get retributed for the time they take making art? Are you autistic?
>>2182189
>>2182190
That reading comprehension though.

It means there are plenty of ways to monetize without being an absolute scumbag about it. On a more conceptual level, I think it's entirely laughable that anyone who considers themselves "an artist" creates art with the expectation that they will be compensated for it; it's like people who help someone out and then expect a reward. Producing art, and that art being consumed by the world is a reward in and of itself. Being an artist because you want to make money, or going out of your way to milk as much money as you possibly can from it by withholding content is a shitty life philosophy, and honestly I think it is insulting to art as a form of human expression.
Art should be about art, not about whoring out products.
I bet you're the kind of people that whine about people pirating RWBY instead of paying a subscription, because it's "supporting the content creators", even though RT has massive ad, store, partnership and donation revenue that makes such a system entirely needless.
Alright, I'll make a new thread and let's agree to leave this pointless shitfest in this one.
>>2182207
>You are expressing an opinion about how a site works!
Did you even think about that before you wrote it? Yes. I am complaining about how Patreon works, that is what this discussion is about. It is a site that's systems are built around encouraging content creators to withhold content behind subscription-based paywalls. I am glad you were able to figure out what the topic of this conversation was and you should be proud that you can understand what people are saying.
>You're free to look at other art and quit fucking whining about the monetization choices some artists make.
I'm also free to point out they are shitty choices. Maybe you should return to tumblr or DA if you want a hugbox where no one is criticized for being a greedy scumbag.
>This conversation is over.
Okay, mom.
>>2182027
>I do not think this particular piece of shipping will come to anything beyond friendship
>This is having goggles on too tight
Do you know what that phrase means? Do you have the faintest fucking clue?
>>2182023
Shit I didn't even catch that, Looks like I made the mistake of not setting my goggles to maximum overdrive.
