Quick drawfags are quick
So do all RWBY threads begin with low quality fanart in the OP now or what?
>>1953957
Yes, specifically to piss you off and because it seems like everyone's incapable of making one.
>>1953957
When I used to make OPs I would use pics like this and still get bitched at that it "isn't technically /u/." Oh well, someone's always gonna be mad.
>>1953957
Why don't you make some HQ art for the thread then?
>>1953958
It's not like the thread was even on page 10.
>>1953984
It's 9 or 10, it was on 9 and at image limit.
Lets get some discussion rollin sisters
what do you think this new year will bring for /u/s?
>>1953988
You're at image limit.
>>1954002
A token gay character, a few sunken ships and a deluge of smut.
>>1954005
I think they said the trumpet guy from that one fight is gay
>>1954005
>token gay character
we already gotWeissfor that
Pretty much the same as last year it seems
Can't wait
>>1954029
Emerald isgay as fuck.
>>1954046
We don't know if she actually got it in the White trailer.
There was an animation error since the scar appeared when she was hit, that causes several problems.
Firstly, the scar itself wasn't bleeding since it was visible next to the blood and secondly, you don't get scars in combat. You get wounds. So either Monty couldn't into biology or just forgot about it altogether.
I recall someone asking where she got the scar in a Q&A session and got no definite response, if she had gotten it from the Knight you'd think they would've said so.
Then again, maybe they didn't want to curb the speculation about the fight with the Knight being a metaphor.
>>1954048
A metaphor aboutfighting her raging homo urges?
>>1954048
But if she can summon the knight, was it really a metaphor?
>>1954049
Can't be, cause she won against the knight. She will never defeat her rampant homolust.
>>1954014
How is trumpet guy gay?! How are we supposed to figure that one out?!
>>1954051
Cause guys with questionable fashion sense = gay, obviously.
I follow most of the RWBY extra stuff pretty close and have never heard of trumpet guy being gay. RT would never reveal the who the token gay character is outside of the show anyway.It's Weiss anyway
>>1954050
>But if she can summon the knight, was it really a metaphor?
The Q&A session was held long before volume 3 aired.
>>1954029
>>1954030
>implying it isnt already weiss
Emerald is gay, but c'mon, cant beat the homoqueen at her own game sis
>>1954046
Tis a shame we'll probably never leave the subs
>>1954048
Monty confirmed ages ago that all the trailers happened prior to the series, it'd be pretty fruit loops to give a time frame for a metaphor
>>1954061
>Implying they would actually make one of the main cast a homo
Then again that only really excludes Jaune, Pyrra or Blake.
>>1954064
>>"P-Penny what are you doing..?!"
>>"I'm trying to engaged you in a sexual activity!"
>>"What?!"
>>"I downloaded it into my system!"
>>"W-Weiss is gonna be so mad!!"
Always make sure to show your cute pet how much you love and respect her before you pin her down and fuck her into unconsciousness.
>>1954106
In all honesty, Jaune and Blake being main characters now only applies to the first two volumes.then again, we're only 2/3 of the way through, plus there's future volumes to "look forward" to
>>1954219
Nobody here seems to realize that while this is the third volume this is only the VERY beginning of the story. I wish volumes would come out faster as much as everybody. But we all need to realize that this show is going to be running for another ten years/volumes at a minimum. That means that as the show grows it is going to change(and hopefully mature). So while the start was, to put it too nicely, very shaky, there will be plenty of time for it to grow. And I know that doesn't mean it will necessarily get better, but we all need to understand that anything they do is going to take time. That means being a little patient. We may very well see some good story someday, hopefully soon. But we have to give them time.
>>1954223
>while this is the third volume this is only the VERY beginning of the story
I'm kind of amazed that M&K have managed to write two seasons without ANY substantial storytelling at all. They've managed to only introduce a shitload of characters and done some minor world-building, but that is it. So far, we don't even know the backstories of the MAIN characters, just vague hints that Blake used to be in WF, Ruby and Yang used to live on Patch, and we know almost nothing about Weiss. The most backstory we have right now are on the villains.
>>1954343
I am a pretty active critic of the show but it is fair to note that in terms of running Tim RWBY is more equivalent to 1 complete series than two right now.
>>1954343
I want to say that,because in the whole view of things these first few volumes are just here to introduce the characters and the world, we will see more and more world building, and hopefully some character development as well, as time goes on. We have seen a pretty big upswing in quality for this current volume and hopefully that will continue. I personally would really like to see some more backstory stuff in between the third and fourth volumes. Maybe something like the original trailers where we see ouractual fuckingmain characters several years before they started at Beacon. It could be a good way to introduce Summer and Weiss's dad. Not that we need more characters.
>>1954352
And? Most shows manage to do more setup in two or three episodes than they've done thus far.
Not as just as much, more.
Season one should have been dedicated to establishing team RWBY first and foremost. Their pasts, their motivations, their personalities.
They should never have had to compete with a hundred other characters for screen time in their own fucking story. Especially not with self-inserts like Juane.
There any more stuff like this?
>>1954433
>Weiss
>loitering around with nothing to do and wants to hang out with Pyrrah
kek, if you want silly melodrama you can just read about any story off FF
>>1954442
So that's a no?
>>1954447
I think there is some tumblr tag for Ruby/Cinder that fits the bill.
Actually all Ruby/Cinder stuff fits the bill. Most of its supporters lack the creativity and experience to write a believable romance between the two, so they use Weiss as a crutch and just pile on the angst/cheating drama instead.
>>1954463
Wow, you sound bitter.
>>1954465
It's also evident that they may actively hate it because of that remark. Can't have anything other than normal WR in these threads.
>>1954463
Funny that, I've found a number of good Ruby/Cinder fics that don't have Weiss and Ruby together
>>1954467
True. But most of them are AU.
>>1954465
I love angst and drama, between the relevant parties. Cinder/Ruby ones are just poorly handled and constantly make use of a third wheel. The actual interactions between the supposed pair always end up being minimalistic.
When a pairing can't stand on its own legs, you can't really blame anyone but the content creators themselves.
>>1954482
In all fairness, Ruby and Cinder are a pretty crack ship. There are certainly arguments you could make in its defense, but at its core it's a crack ship.
>>1954046
>Hopes and dreams
What are these things?
>>1954521
What is that supposed to be a picture of?
Weiss seems like the most likely target for any possible Cinder seductions on team RWBY, to be honest.
Emotionally vulnerable, much easier to isolate from the group, SDC heiress, probably easier to manipulate into doing shady shit than Ruby, rampant gay hormones.
It's the perfect storm, really.
>>1954463
Mean.
>>1954473
That is just part of the nature of shipping heroes with villains AU gets around a lot of the issues caused by motivations, it doesn't help that there are 10+ times the number of WR fics floating around. When one pairing has near 500 stories and the other has 40, it's clear which one is going to have a larger pool of non-AU, well written stories.
>>1954482
I think this is less the fault of the pairing or content creators and more an issue of how pervasive white rose is, it's such a universally present relationship that when you go to create something that is CinderxRubles, it feels necessary to address that presence.
At the end of the day, the ship generally falls into two believable categories when you are trying to stay canon and avoid AU, the first being corruption, where Cinder sees Ruby as a potentially useful piece in her grand scheme, and the second is essentially Cinder playing with a relatively innocent Ruby on the side as part of her laying low at Beacon, (e.g. the fic Cinder's Gift, which is a good example of short fallen petals work that has zero mention of Weiss). For the first type, the easiest way for Cinder to begin turning the quite positive and hopeful Ruby to her side is by showing her the darker side of the world, showing her that people lie, and betray, and hurt each other--Weiss is the obvious candidate for that, Ruby has known Yang to long to begin to doubt her so quickly, and Yang is too genuine and loving as a sister.
Anyway, I'm fairly certain that the great majority of people who ship Cinder/Ruby or create content for it have no particular animosity or dislike for White Rose.
>>1954551
I'm personally a big fan of both.
I got into the fanfics for this show a few weeks ago and it's been a downward spiral ever since? I haven't been this hooked since when the Mai-Hime archive was at its peak. Why is Weiss so fucking shipppable?
>>1954560
1) Sorry for your loss
2) Welcome to the fandom, have some complementary gay moms.
>>1954560
Because she's a raging homoand also Best Girl.
>>1954560
I'm in the same boat. I haven't read fanfiction for fucking years.
Also it's because she's so fukkin gay
>>1954463
>Most of its supporters lack the creativity and experience to write a believable romance between the two
This is true for the majority of all fanfiction, regardless of ship. 99% of fanfiction authors are complete amateurs, it's the nature of the craft. Don't try to pin this argument on a certain ship just because you don't like it.
>>1954622
I mean Red vs Blue was like two seasons of fucking about Blood Gulch with nothing really going onAnd we loved it
>>1954624
That show was great. I wish people were willing to make more fun shit like that.
>>1954624
It was also much, much more focused. It had few characters for starters and was all about the comedy in their interactions.
>>1954700
RvB is character growth done right. Start with a few characters, take a while to establish them and their relationships, and THEN start introducing side characters to mix it up. Even after 13 seasons, the Reds and Blues are still undoubtedly the main characters. Will we be able to say the same about RWBY if/when it gets that far?
>>1954522
Merry, from Yumekui Merry, some haremshit. She eats dreams.
>>1954717
>the Reds and Blues are still undoubtedly the main characters. Will we be able to say the same about RWBY if/when it gets that far
Other than JNPR and the Cinder Crew I don't think anyone's gotten close to Team RWBY's.
I just want to see Ruby get to unleash. She's this complete adorable doof but I rewatched the Red trailer and fucking hell she's a monster.
>>1954723
>fucking hell she's a monster
Yes, gaze upon the unstoppable destruction machine.

Goddammit that looks like Dolt Weiss, not Do It Weiss. Fuck.
>>1954726
She's a blender

You will fear the murder machine known as Ruby Rose.
>>1954726
Does that look like the face of mercy to you?

>>1955119
I hear he left becausehe heard rumors that Weiss wasn't the token gay character.
>>1955191
Probably not true.
That reminds me of the rumors that a VA in a bioware game (i forgot which) refused to read any lines for a gay romance option. That turned out to be false.
>Weiss being the token gay character
Yes. Quite.
>>1955191
I honestly think they're going to pull some halfassed LoK thing where after the series is over they tell all the WR fans that "yeah Wiess is totes gay ya'll, buy our merch, k?"
There are probably too many people on both sides of the fence for them to go all in for either option.
>>1955191
>Things did not go as planned
This line kinda makes me think he had a sort of loss of faith after Monty passing, and only stuck around just long enough to see V3 through. There was a tweet yesterday that they had just finished all principal mocap for V3, rather coincidental he announces his leave the next day, no?
>>1955194
That was Tali's VAwhy do I remember that
>>1955205
Silly sis.
Weiss can't be the token gay character.Then she wouldn't have her Rubles
>>1955208
What ifthey were both gay? Perish the thought.
>>1955210
I bet they wouldhold hands
>>1955207
That's possible. Monty had some input for v3, but after that it's all M&K's thing and they don't like other people's input or criticism. It's possible he quit because he knows where they intend to take it.
V4 may truly become The Juane and Neptune Show (also featuring their love interests and maybe some background characters the writers don't care about like Ruby).
>>1955250
You're demonizing the writers pretty hard. I get that it's popular to hate them here, and I'm not their biggest fan either, but "they don't like other people's input or criticism" is a completely unfounded accusation. In fact, a bunch of things in V2 and 3 are there completely because of fan feedback, the most obvious being Velvet's outfit.
Even Jaune and Neptune's involvement has been pretty minimal this volume, and do you really think their top animator would leave a respectable and probably pretty well-paying job purely because of the story's (supposed) direction, of which he probably had little-to-zero involvement in anyway?
Hate the writers all you want, but don't lose your grasp on reality.
>>1955278
>a bunch of things in V2 and 3 are there completely because of fan feedback
Jaune and Neptune's continued existence proves that doubtful at best.
>>1955282
>People complain about too much Jaune in V1 and 2
>Been in the spotlight for a total of 1 (one) episode in V3 so far
>People complain about too much Neptune in V2
>Been in the spotlight for a total of 1 (one) episode in V3 so far
>Hate the writers all you want, but don't lose your grasp on reality.
>>1955292
I'd figure that maybe they feel that even one episode of spotlight is too much, then? Maybe.
Second chapter of the manga's out. Here's a good WhiteRose moment.
>>1955380
>>1955292
>>1955278
I point this out every volume.
There is a lot of shitty writing in the show, the existence of Neptune and Jaune is not part of it. It's just people being bitter. Most episodes are about everyone, about RWBY or about a character from RWBY.
It's just like people getting bitter over Ruby not being interested in romance, and calling that bad writing.
>>1955403
Don't forget about the focus not being on the mcs for however many episodes during 1 and 2. Kind gives a lasting impression.
>>1955421
That is my point though. People freaked the fuck out over 4 Jaune episodes when most of the volume is about RWBY.
1 - Ruby
2 - Ruby and Jaune
3 - Ruby and WBY
4 - Everyone
5 - Everyone (Mainly WR JP)
6 - Everyone (Mainly WR JP)
7 - Everyone (some WR focus)
8 - Everyone
9 - Ruby and Weiss
10 - Ruby and Weiss
11 - Jaune
12 - Jaune
13 - Jaune
14 - Jaune
15 - Blake and RWY/Penny
16 - Blake and RWY/Penny/Sun

>>1955425
Team JNPR was originally intended to be the second team of main characters, so it's not surprising that they still get a good amount of screentime. However, Yang is one of the current main characaters, and wasn't even as well-developed as Jaune in season 1, which was kind of annoying.

Good payoff face for the burry. Every bully arc needs the payoff face of fear - not guilt, not regret, just fear - so the audience can feel catharsis for the anathema buildup we're subjected to.
So I just bought the Japanese BD, all for Kuma's awesome artwork. Why do the Japs get the good covers for everything? Even the OST has a better cover.
>>1955787

The description says so, but it might just be for hard of hearing. It also says it has the english dub.

>>1955980
I read that as hemorrhage at first. Don't try to give me a panic attack sis.also, still nothing on my end, so apparently I have to avoid this thread until youtube or rwbyg.club/waifus updates
>>1955980
I want to see if they are going to actually make Ruby and Merc fight. I mean, Ruby has superspeed, she can just run away and find help, I doubt roboman could catch her.
>>1956006
On the other hand, Merc is supposed to be undercover so he's probably gonna have to be pretty committed to stopping her, lest the truth gets out. Rubles does have a habit of fighting when she ought to run.
>>1956032
But just think: we're either finally going to see how well Rubles fights without Crescent Rose (which would be great) or we're going to see what could be a pretty phenomenal chase scene. I'm fine with either.
Am I the only one wishing there would've been a little more between Blake and Yang? I mean, this is clearly an important moment for both of them. I wish they would've gotten just a little more time in that scene.
>>1956036
Blake will return to fully comfort Yang that night viacopious kitten cuddles.
>>1956036
>Am I the only one wishing there would've been a little more between Blake and Yang?
Not on my side, blake had 2 seasons for her character arc/growth. This season is supposed to be about Yang and Weiss (and Pyhrra).
>>1956056
Eh, more like half a season and two episodes, but I see your point
>>1956056
Well yeah, but that was just Blake. I mean more of a moment for Bumbleby.
>>1956056
This, also Blake was pretty cringe.
>Hey guys, I know that I was a terrorist for most of my life and I had no problem putting a blade to a guy's neck twice, but Yang might have broken someone's leg out of adrenaline and anger, so I don't know if I can trust her!
>Don't worry about me concealing my identity from all of you and sneaking off to fight people alone and being the most secretive student in the show sans villains!
>>1956308
The way it was presented, it was more in cold blood than adrenaline. Blake at least had reasonable cause to threaten Torchwick. And can you really blame her for the secrecy, especially after being teamed with a girl that would watch her die with a smile?
>>1956308
The last time Blake trusted someone, it was Adam, who proved himself to be an unrepentant jerkass whose extreme methods she didn't agree with. Of course Blake's going to have reservations again, especially since Yang's been her partner for a far shorter period of time compared to Adam.
>>1956308
I think a better way to go at it would have been to say she was worried about Yang's anger issues and the way she flips out at things as simple as someone pulling some of her out in a fight, then say the last person she knew with anger issues like that is a fucking terrorist
>>1956415
Side note: I didn't think the way they did it was that bad.
Here's the non-stream version.
http://rwbyg.club/waifus/
>>1956117
Well then I guess she's gonna run, because last time she fought without her weapon, she got punched in the face, knocked the fuck out, got kidnapped by White Fang, got dragged/pushed around by Torchwick, rode a train that crashed, and had to fight hoards of grimm in downtown Vale. All because she didn't have her scyifle. Ruby should be thinking "well, this is familiar, better gtfo!"but how awesome would a fully equipped Ruby vs Mercury fight be?
>>1956443
I'm still looking forward to when Ruby becomes so godlike that her opponents are intimidated by her reputation alone. Except Weiss, becauseshe's seen her naked.
>>1956449
Ruby is less Rose, more pansy around Weiss. That's just the way it is.unless there's an episode where Ruby actually stands up to Weiss underrating her, and Weiss is just in awe
>>1956457
I'd much rather have Ruby earn Weiss' respect, completely and fully, through her actions alone, not from a one-off argument. If you look closely enough, you can see it's already started to happen.
Don't you think RWBY would be better if the main team were Ruby, Arslan, Penny and Neo?
>>1956415
>>1956466
Not even a little bit.
Neo's cool but overusing her would just spoil the character.
>>1956490
She is only that gimmicky sort of character because of how she's been introduced and used. With development and a bit of work, she would make a fine and downright interesting protagonist.
>The girl who's semblance is shifting her appearance and the appearance of those around her, born in a rural, superstitious village where unlocking/having aura is seen as something that draws the Grimm, and a semblance is akin to witchcraft. Unable to control her ability when excited or emotionally distraught (especially as a child) she is branded an abomination and sorceress even by her own parents and beaten/abused in an effort to purge her of the dark magic, leading up to drinking some corrosive or dangerously hot concoction that silences her voice forever.
>Emotionally and physically scarred, she is hostile and cruel, pain and violence is the only form of communication she knows, though her nature isn't particularly evil or malicious. The hatred of the Grimm has been beaten into her as well, and she doesn't just fight them, she tears them slowly to shreds without dropping her smile.
You wouldn't want to follow her journey with her teammates as she overcomes her past and slowly learns how express herself in healthier ways, how to hold back while fighting and not just immediately resort to cruel violence, etc?
>>1956504
>aura
>something literally every non-grimm being has
>witchcraft
That would take a hell of a lot of suspension of disbelief. Also, a village that doesn't believe in aura or semblance that doesn't get razed by the Grimm immediately? If there's one thing the show's narrative tries to hammer into our heads, it's that Grimm are an ever-present threat outside the walls of the main kingdoms/cities. Look at Mountain Glenn.
Did that show really become somehow good? I didn't see that coming.
>>1956508
>That would take a hell of a lot of suspension of disbelief. Also, a village that doesn't believe in aura or semblance that doesn't get razed by the Grimm immediately?
No suspension of disbelief required. Jaune, who comes from a family of warriors, had no idea what Aura was, and had never seen his own until Pyrrha unlocked it. It isn't much of a stress to imagine that people who aren't aware of aura's existence could go through their entire life not witnessing it, and then treat it with fear. If a culture sees something as taboo for a long amount of time, they become resistant to anything else. Let's not forget that there are places in the world that still view evolution with distrust and anger--every living thing on the planet is made up of cells, but do you think the majority of rural villages in the world know that?
ISIS uses twitter while spouting archaic nonsense and killing anyone who won't worship a 1500 year old book based on a 2500 year old book. People are dumb, they will abuse/kill others over the most inane beliefs imaginable.
Villages exist, Qrow's story about the waitress with the short skirt takes place in a "small village in the swamps west of Mistral" that he came across. Vale and Mountain Glenn aren't really the average location, Vale has a lot of people, and that makes it a large source of negative emotion, the Grimm are likely much more concentrated around it than other locations--and remember that it isn't Vale's technology or Aura that has kept it safe--it's the natural defenses of the area. That's why even with the same technology and aura/dust use, Mountain Glenn fell. Being in a small safe valley or bounded by the sea/cliffs/rivers/lakes is probably a lot more of a defense against ongoing Grimm attacks than Aura for most people--especially since I can't imagine the average person would even be able to do much with Aura untrained, certainly not enough to hold back a really serious Grimm attack.
>>1956532
I don't know if I'd go as far as good, but the current volume is certainly pretty okay.
>>1956533
Also my intent wasn't to suggest this be Neo's backstory. It was just an attempt to point out that Neo's character isn't necessarily one that only functions by showing up now and then and being adorably lethal. Given actual depth and some story, the small mute psychopath can easily become an interesting main character, nudged a bit in the direction of questionable upbringing she could easily become a protagonist.
>>1956534
Well, it's honestly light years from what we've seen until now, but I understand your reserve.
>>1956533
No that was just bad writing, Jaune should have known all of that and no one checking for aura and semblance is just child cruelty.
>>1956504
Sis, just write some fics about it. That's what they're for.
>>1956585
Yeah, this. Either child cruelty or Jaune is literally retarded, the fact that he has his shoes labeled "left" and "right" implies the latter.
He said that his dream was to be a Hunter, it's like a guy whose dream is to be a racing driver wouldn't know what a combustion engine is. Except even worse since Aura gives people literal superpowers.
So why has no one mentioned the most important part of this week's episode?
Velvet's box. Has a camera in it. All this hype, all this mystery,I was expecting it to have shit tons of dust crystals at first, but then I read a theory that it might have a stuffed Grimm/guardian that fights for her, but no. It might noteven be a combat tote, just a regular one.
>>1956612
That image is goddamn adorable.
Why didn't Velvet or anyone on their team put two and two together
>"Oh coco had a hallucination during her fight with this team
>Yang had one too fighting a member from that team
>battles can sure fuck you up huh?"
>>1956772
Because only the viewer knows the whole story. As far as the characters know, Merc is just a regular dude that can fight pretty good. No real reason to suspect any foul play... until the ending of the latest episode.
>>1956788
still the people who fought that guy experienced hallucinations. once is sure, but twice?
>>1956772
Coco saw barely a glimpse of Yatsu. There is a world of difference between checking over your shoulder and thinking that your teammate is there and actually being subjected to hallucinations. Like Ironwood said, adrenaline is a helluva drug.
When something goes wrong the first thing isn't to assume that random superpowers are at play and that there is an unseen evil mastermind trying to fuck with Yang.
If CFVY was close to RWBY it'd be a different story when they'd be actively trying to make sense of everything but right now all they know is that Coco saw a bush which looked just like Yatsuhashi and that the Xiao Long berserker kneecapped a guy for some reason. There just isn't enough data for an outsider to start connecting the dots, hence why Ruby's fortunate encounter with Velvet.
>>1956640
I can't believe nobody is talking about it either, sis. Think of all the lewd things Velvet has caught on camera! Weiss is definitely on film because she's the homo goddess made flesh, the only begotten daughter of the homo goddess. I can't believe I have searched and not have found one picture of Velvet being a voyeur and then later showing Coco what she wants to try out in bed!
>>1956815
I agree with you. I think Mercury and Emerald didn't do anything at first to warrant suspicion either. They acted like they were nice people, from what I could remember. The only ones who would know they were bad would be themselves, Cinder, Roman, Neo, and Adam. Neo can't blab even if she wanted to, Roman has been tight-lipped, and Cinder and Adam would never tell anyone. Side note; Yang looks so cuddly. I bet she gives the best cuddles.
>>1956837
>Yang looks so cuddly. I bet she gives the best cuddles.
The woman is like a space heater but soft and hugs back.
>>1956837
>I agree with you. I think Mercury and Emerald didn't do anything at first to warrant suspicion either.
Yeah, I mean we are asking people to cast suspicion that the guy who was sniffing a boot in an earlier episode is part of some sort of conspiracy.
>>1956848
Right? I bet you could just fall asleep in her arms and it would be like sleeping on the best mattress ever.
Yang seemed suspicious of Emerald and Mercury in some episode.
>>1956979
I think that was in the first one, after Emerald was walking away Yang looked over her shoulder at them. Not much but it's something.
I like this too much
>>1956984

And that is when the gay would be plane for all to see (especially Rubles)

That's probably one of the more DA-tier ones that was dumped. That said, definitely not enough RubyxCinder art out there anyhow.
>>1957108
There's not enough NeoxRuby art either.

Because it sure sounds like it

Eyepatches are cool.
Also an easy way of showing that shit's gotten serious.
Also, mutilating the cutie is a staple trope.

Need to be doing my uni work but I'm too busy looking at RWBY!
Sooo... i've been gone from the fandom for about a year and heard V3 has actually started now (or is it over already?) and i'd like to know if it is worth watching or has gotten even worse than V2.
Any input from you guys?
>>1957303
V3 is 8 episodes in, and considering RWBY's track record it's surprisingly good. Their best one yet.
>>1957304
huh... off i go then, it seems i have some catching up to do.
>>1957304
Well, you are most definitely right. V3 gives RWBY something i haven't seen in it yet.
A story. With actual characters and shit.
>>1957359
with monty dead, the fights aren't as dynamic or exciting
>>1957360
and i heard one more of the animator / fighting choreographer quit.
>>1957359
don't get me wrong, the animations are still shitty, even more so than in the end of V2 but all the complete and utter crap like the forced romance, new cardboard characters around every corner and the roof walking scene are pretty much gone and were replaced with a story i actually kinda like.
>>1957361
yeah, shane newville. he was extremely adept at motion capturing mercury's fighting style.
>>1957360
i rewatched some earlier fights and when i compare them to the new ones, the latter sometimes feel like stop-motion... considering it was the main selling feature for me when it started that is pretty sad.
>>1957366
The main selling feature for me wasMonty's name on the front, so I guess we're both sad.
Bad times are a-comin', friendos
>>1957403
The hell sis?!WR outfit swap for your protection
>>1957403
And with Emerald's fuckery...well maybe P-money's gonna see what a real Penny would be like in that situation
>>1957427
Now they look like Eilanya.
Writefag returned from self-imposed exile here.
Purely hypothetically speaking, if I had two different WR AU stories in mind that I have been mulling about for the year, but didn't get myself to start until now even though I have 3 word pages full of story fluff for each one, Which should I rather start first?
1.Werewolf Hunter Weiss gets the job to clean the forest around a castle from them and gets maid Ruby whose job is to take care of her. (Basically just Ruby and Weiss here)
2. Steampunk Detective Yang gets hired by Weiss to investigate a murder while fresh-in-town-Ruby strings along. Blake is in there too and helps Yang. Evolves into a spy hunt. (WR and BB)
Both of these purely hypothetical stories would have a shitload of world-building too, so either one would take a lot of time to finish.
>>1957459
as long as the werewolf-fic doesn't just end up with the "Ruby was secretly a werewolf herself the whole time" cliché, I'd go with option one.
Well, I didn't plan to be very secretive about it but it's hard to find a better incentive for Weiss to rethink her values to approach the main arc.
Ah, who am I kidding... It'd probably hard to keep that kind of story getting autistic anyway. #2 it is, unless I get any objections.
>>1956640
There are some people who think Velvet's camera can make 3D printed copies of other weapons. Really, it might just be a regular ol' camera, but who knows? It doesn't seem too much of a stretch to believe a camera could be used for combat somehow after seeing some of the more crazy weapons (Oobleck's coffee thermos is a prime example)
>>1957502
Monty did say that the box was his favorite weapons. It makes sense if it's all of them.
>>1957459
2nd one, go with the second one. Especially if it's Yang-centric.
>>1957427
>Ruby in Weiss' recolored outfit
How Weiss hasn't thrown her onto the bed and ripped her out of it yet is beyond me.
>>1957556
because she's waiting for Ruby to do it to her
>>1955403
That image reminds me of a /co/ story
They did the aftermath of RWBY vs Aliens
>>1957502
>>1957516
Monty specified that Velvet is a mage fighter, so that doesn't really lean towards weapon master.
>>1957642
Weiss is a mage too and she spends a fair bit of time stabbing people. Conjuring weapons out of nowhere isn't an unheard ability for a mage to have.
>>1957642
CoCo is the only one allowed to bully Velvet
>>1957571
Impossible, Weiss' homolust waits for no woman, even Ruby. The princess must be tended to at all times.
>>1957459
I gotta say the werewolf fic sounds more interesting to me, but I would have Ruby part of the pack she's hunting and not her maid. But maybe that's just Red Like Blood talking.
>>1957646
>>1957185
I didn't need these sudden feels, sis
>>1957403
Why does everyone seem to think that this fight is going to turn into Mortal Kombat? Penny is a nice person and Pyrra will pick up on that, therefore she won't let her emotions take over leading to Penny getting torn up. Yes, accidents can happen, such as Pyrra fucking up because of how much metal Penny's made of, but I highly doubt that. When Cinder uses that virus to either assume direct control or just impair her systems somehow, that will be the biggest cause for concern I think. Either way, no matter how emotionally confused and distraught she is, Pyrra would never tear an opponent apart like that, even if she had the option.
I can't wait to see how wrong I am, but I can hold out hope
>>1957659
Magnets and hard drives don't mix well, anon. Once she's bricked she no longer has Aura to keep the chassis in one piece against Pyrrha's power.
>>1957659
I think people think either Penny is going to get Cinder-hacked and go ape shit on Pyrrha, severely or mortally wounding her (most likely as it ties into Maiden stuff) or Pyrrha is going to have to tear apart Penny in self defense just to stay alive.
I mean Penny is one hell of a murder bot.
