DISCUSSION What's your take on the brother gods?

Post image
93 Upvotes

the brother gods were in the right to punish Salem and the world the way they did

The fans seem to forget the gods were the ones who made the world it's akin to them having an ant farm and one ant gets uppity

The same ant when made to understand the importance of life and death lead a revolt with other ants to bite you

So the washed them away and kept the original ant to still have to learn the lesson they still refused to learn

The gods weren't even bothering the world until Salem interfered both of them were content watching and observing

They weren't asking for anything waging ears hell if any worship happens they don't force it and accept it darkness for example could've demanded for them to praise him but doesn't and was even willing tofghthis own brother for what seemed like his first genuine follower

The situation Salem finds herself in even her being corrupted into the grimm pools is her fault and hers alone

And even when she got what she wanted when she had her ozma she still fucked everything up by deciding to do eugenics with there kids

DISCUSSION What changes or fixes did you make to the timeline in your rewrites?

4 Upvotes

CRWBY has apparently said they've maintained a vague, noncommittal stance on an official, granular timeline for the series. Rather than publishing an exact day-by-day or month-by-month calendar, they intentionally keep temporal details vague to allow "room for error" and avoid boxing the narrative into tight corners.

But sometimes this just results in weird timeline BS.

Or maybe just stuff that I am pedantic about.

Like we know there was the Great War 80 years prior to the story, and that resulted in a "time of peace" where the Kingdoms weren't at war. Yes, there were still Grimm, bandits, and the White Fang, but macro-scale world war wasn't a thing for a while. This peace is what made Cinder and co. threatening it mean something, apparently.

Beacon and the Huntsman Academies are also weird because Ruby enters at 15, and everyone else enters at 17 normally. If they just moved everyone up 1 year, Beacon could be a college, although school uniforms (usually an anime thing, which RWBY is heavily inspired by) aren't a thing in college as far as I am aware.

Then the School year ends in Fall, which isn't true for either American or Japanese schooling, as far as I am aware. But that is mainly because they had a massive "Fall" boner in Volume 3. Cinder Fall becomes the full Fall Maiden and causes the Fall of Beacon during Fall.

There is also the stuff with Ruby and Yang's age. Yang is only 2 years older than Ruby, so it made some people wonder how quickly Taiyang got over Raven, got with Summer, got married, and then had Ruby. I am pretty sure this was partially the reason, or at least A reason, the "Qrow is Ruby's real dad" theory went around.

And also on a broader term, ages are just weird. Everyone is as old as they need to be for the plot. Cinder is apparently young enough to pass as a student from Haven, but she feels much older.

There may be plenty of other timeline/age weirdness in RWBY that people have issues with that I am not recalling at the moment, but what are some things that bother you about the timeline, and how could you imagine them being tweaked/improved/changed?

Edit: great war timeline correction, thank you u/Alarming-Ferret-7774

DISCUSSION So What How Would You Re Imagine the Story of RWBY?

Post image
92 Upvotes

That is my Question

I been reading Archie Ninja Turtles Adventure seeing it how different it is from 87 cartoon despite the Archie timeline splitting from 87 cartoon after 2nd episode of season two or simply Issue #4 of Archie series

It got me thinking how an Archie Ninja Turtles Adventure style Timeline with RWBY would be like & how different story and characters would be? To me spin-off point between original series & this Universe

Because if multiple Ninja Turtles Universes could come exist so could RWBY

So with all that How would you Re Mix the story or RWBY?

So Lets Brainstorm this

DISCUSSION Why do we have Bmblb

33 Upvotes

Ight ima make it quick just to get the question out there no hate toward to bumblebee enjoyers or anything like that but like why... like I recently binged the show and I cant fathom in the slightest the on the spot retcon of yang and Blake being a thing and then it happening right after Blake and sun had their kiss and everything they straight up wrote my favorite character out the show to force a yuri subplot hell if they did it naturally and made Blake like say it wouldn't work out with sun or something like that to make it flow I'd be chill about it but like what was the point of the entire menagerie subplot if it only leads to the faunus and sun getting written off screen to immediately be forgotten for the forced yuri

DISCUSSION Neo’s Second chance

13 Upvotes

Neopolitan has done some things in the show. But what she did in volume 9 and to Ruby was too far. Afterwards, Neo saved Ruby from the Curious Cat in the finale and became part of the tree. Do you believe she deserves a second chance and makes things right with Ruby or do you believe she got off easy?

DISCUSSION Meme I found. Immediately reminded me of After the Fall characters now being important to the main show's plot. What do you think about this decision?

I mean, it's very much understandable that some ppl don't know these characters because of their exclusivity to the books. Hopefully we get like, flashbacks or character shorts on them for V10. I personally like them and include them in my works, but what do y'all think?

If you have any discrepancy, please comment it respectfully

DISCUSSION What Your Idea for RWBY Halloween/Horror Story?

Post image

That my Question

It's that time of year again were it's spooky

So with that in mind what is your Idea for RWBY Halloween/Horror story? Who would be the main character? What would be the plot and where in Series continuity would you set it in?

My idea would something shortly after Team RWBY returns from Ever after Ruby starts to eat lots of Candy because of everything that happened wouldn't want to eat with B Plot with Yang having an idea of costume party to cheer everyone up

Still working on that one

But that's me what do you think would make a good RWBY Halloween/Horror story?

Let's do this

FANFICTION I need help with my OC's Semblance.

2 Upvotes

Here are one of his abilities:

. Danger-Detection: Can detect incoming danger to the host making it something like a Spider-Sense except it doesn’t detect danger if an ally of his is about to get attacked and using it for a period of time leads to painful migraines or even a blackout. It also replaces his brown irises with maroon for a short while. In addition, since this is a new ability (OC's name) just received some while ago, he isn’t fully accustomed to it causing him to get hits on his body despite his Semblance warning about it.

The problem is that I made it too much like Aura Sensory so I need your suggestion to differentiate the two and make Danger-Detection unique.

One of my ideas is that, he can see after-images of where his body is about to get hit or injured but it only works in close combat situations.

DISCUSSION What hot take will leave you like this?

Post image
113 Upvotes

Okay I have two

  1. Jaune isn't a self insert character that would be blake

Because which character had there own solo journey with a love interest

Blake

Which character had 2 exes who were evil and in love with them

Blake

Which character seems to make other characters more shallow around her

Like c'mon before Adam was derailed to be her ex he atleast seemed like a decent villain character until he became a creepy stalker

And atleast yang still cared about ruby only for her to start focusing on Blake and forgetting ruby

  1. the brother gods were in the right to punish Salem and the world the way they did

The fans seem to forget the gods were the ones who made the world it's akin to them having an ant farm and one ant gets uppity

(My sweet Yang, what did they do to you)

I just found this subreddit recently and I must ask, WHAT HAPPENED TO RWBY?

I decided to rewatch the show and actually finish it; since years ago, I only watched up to volume 5. I used to be such a die hard fan back in the early days of volumes 1-3(massive crush on Yang).

I don't know what happened. I thought we were building something beautiful, but it got worse as it went on. My heart crumbles at what once was and what could have been.

All I can do now is take shelter in the fanfics of fans who loved this series. Just take me back😭
