Man RWBYs storytelling is going so far now it’s driving me crazy trying to guess how some characters stories are going to wrap up, like with tropes and predictions etc.

#like cinder is probably going to save neo right before dying #tyrion is most likely to kill Salem if she is saved #mercury might be a ok teacher someday if qrow taught him stuff #someday aceops could really support team rwby #if there are more than the two gods like one theory said 4 #I could see one of them saving cinder or salem #I really can’t guess for my faves tho AUGH

[nightofmiracles]

does anybody else ever think about tortuga and how marrow's outfit is the basic one every other military personnel has, meaning tortuga might have died not that long ago before the show went to atlas & marrow might have joined the aceops right afterwards since he didn't even have a tailored uniform yet

#and how the rest of the team basically bullying him was probably their way of coping with having to go back to work instead of having time #to grieve their teammate properly? #did tortuga die on a mission? was it their mistake? was it anyone else's? was it an accident? did clover #feel crushed by losing someone under his command as the 'lucky' team leader of the squad & as their 'cheat card'? #also. am i the only one associating tortuga and gretchen #not as them being the same person or knowing each other - more that they threw that out there to us and never really dwelled on it #like why did they tell us at all about tortuga? was a backstory book about the aceops planned and they canned it? #why didn't they use arrowfell to shine some light? i know its events happen before v8 but like why give us more if we don't need it #I HAVE SO MANY FUCKING QUESTIONS AND NO ONE TO ASK THEM TO

I know I’m beating a dead Nuckelavee at this point but I keep hearing arguments about how it’s Team RWBY’s fault that Ironwood and his forces sucked ass.

Aside from the Aceops beating that one Geist in V7 what victories did Jimmy’s little tin army pull off?

Ironwood *might* be a good fighter but he was a terrible leader, terrible administrator, honestly a terrible soldier and a terrible ally.

what does hueningkai from txt and wonyoung from ive think about eachother ?

what do they think of eachother? kai + wonyoung

based on tarot. i do not know these idols personally. energies are always changing. what i say is NOT straight fact. pls take it with a grain of salt!

what does kai think of wonyoung? sta&de, aceop, ju, knoc&9oc

he thinks she's someone very special, a person who embodies everything he'd want in a partner. with the 🌟 and the death card, i can see that there was a lot of wishful thinking and high hopes in regards to wonyoung in the past, though he seems to have moved on from that as time went on. i'm getting this "first crush" vibe, although he isn't necessarily as attached to her anymore, he will always see her as the girl of his dreams. despite circumstances and perhaps fate causing them to grow apart, there will always be some kind of attraction he'll feel towards her, and he doesn't think he'll ever truly lose that spark within him.

what does wonyoung think of kai? aceoc, cha, mo, pagoc&queosw

wonyoung views kai as someone who has a lot of love to give, and is generous with showing his affection. she sees him as this sweet and sincere guy, who has a pure and positive vibe.

kai seems to have approached her a while ago, however it doesn't seem like wonyoung gave into his flattery as much. i see the dreamy and 😍 page of cups as kai here, while wonyoung is the more cold and distanced queen of swords. the page is still a younger and more immature figure, whereas the queen is secure in her life and knows what she wants. i can sense that she feels a little sorry for not giving him back as much, like not really engaging in his approaches. but wonyoung is a very independent and career-oriented girl. she slightly reminds me of the song my future by billie eilish, especially the chorus. -> "cause i'm in love with my future, can't wait to meet her. i'm in love but not with anybody else, just wanna get to know myself."

Here’s a few issues with your description IMO,

For one, RWBY had no problem portraying heroes breaking the law or using violence for the greater good when it’s not in regards to Faunus oppression, they fight cordovin, the ace ops, etc,

But somehow things like sienna attacking the SDC are supposed to be wrong? Or at least inferior to ghira’s more nonviolent methods?

Heck, the bees rightfully kill Adam in self defense but Adam killing a human that was about to shoot ghira is the start of his downfall

Also keep in mind ghira stepped down because the white fang didn’t want him in charge, they wanted sienna, he didn’t like the turn it was taking? Too bad, evidently the majority of Faunus did, at least before Adam took over.

And I’d like to point out that, no, Blake has not integrated the parts of herself that are like Adam, as far as we’ve been shown she’s continuing to follow in ghira’s footsteps while ghira has changed he’d nothing about his approach She is t leading raids on SDC trains or even just fighting racists, we haven’t seen her do anything except fight Adam’s faction

Anon, ngl, I'm having an absolutely shit week, and your condescending rudeness is not helping. You're welcome to disagree with me, but did you have to be so rude?

You're ignoring major aspects of the story and sticking to a surface-level analysis that argues complexity is contradiction and your opinion is law, when you can in fact be misreading.

For a major factor left out: Ilia, who is the aspect of Blake's shadow /Adam that she did integrate with. Granted I didn't mention her either, but @aspoonofsugar reminded me about this aspect after I posted the answer yesterday. Blake's arc is also about more than just the faunus, and it's not over yet. Stories use things like subplots as thematic commentary and symbols for the main theme.

The faunus were always a subplot. The law was not actually a major part of this subplot; that was more a focus in Atlas. The main narrative is always living is good and people deserve to live. Hurting people is bad. It happens, and sometimes it can't be avoided (see, tragedy, which RWBY does exceptionally well), but it isn't something to be happily justified. Name me one time when RWBY happily allowed collateral damage to civilians. It's kinda been a recurring thing that they don't allow this.

Like your statement--RWBY had no problem portraying heroes breaking the law or using violence for the greater good when it’s not in regards to Faunus oppression, they fight cordovin, the ace ops, etc-- is just factually wrong. Mantle? And they explored other options first and begged the AceOps not to fight and didn't kill them?

Sienna's methods weren't totally explored as much, that's true, but I think you'd being willfully obtuse if you think they're framed as entirely wrong. And you continue to have a very shallow interpretation of Adam's downfall, which was not because he killed the human. It was because Adam was always out for Adam. He wanted justice to a degree, but he wanted it for personal satisfaction and justification of his right to exist, and damn the reality of the fact that Adam is not the protagonist of the universe. Which is something that people who want simple answers to complex problems neglect to consider: every single person deserves to exist. Adam's downfall is because he prioritizes hurting people over saving his own people who are hurting. I've criticized Adam's writing but that's not an aspect I think is a major problem.

Your arguments remind me a lot of Hbomberguy, who can be great at unveiling plagiarists and still a D- in literary interpretation.

[itsclydebitches]

I'm honestly curious as to what Salem was referring to in the first volume when she said, "there will be no victory in strength" - alluding to all the times Ozpin has failed to defeat her. Interestingly, Salem never directly strongarms her followers into working for her - violence only comes in when they disobey her (Cinder) or she has her followers do it for her. Meanwhile every conflict the heroes face is solved with violence with the exception of heel-turned antagonists who are either narratively disposed of (Ilia + Raven), added to the cast-bloat of 20+ onscreen characters (Emerald + Aceops) or killed off (Hazel), thus not having to reconcile with new dynamics that aren't "everyone is best friends, all the time".

In some respects it feels like a reversal of the standard moral we would expect from a tale like RWBY. (Though, as I always want to stress, not an intentional reversal.) Meaning, most shonen-esque, fairy tale-esque, young protagonists fight some evil force-esque stories present the message that it's not their literal power that saves the day, but rather the Power of Friendship/Love/Purity/Whatever. Or, more accurately, one leads into another. By embracing the emotion that the story wants to uphold as significant, they receive their power up as a cosmic reward (like going Super Saiyan over the love of a friend), or are otherwise rewarded with the solution to their difficulty (like the Guardians of the Galaxy crew splitting the power of the infinity stone). The in-world universe looks at the hero who has Behaved In The Morally Correct Way--which often includes overtly rejecting power--and says, "Here, have a lot of power anyway as a treat. You've proven that you deserve it." Something, something the best leaders don't want to be leaders (insert Ruby's Beacon arc here) and similarly, the people to have a ton of power are those who don't inherently want to be powerful because now there's little chance that they'll misuse it. And for a hot second RWBY went in that direction with a "simple soul" who doesn't want to be the "bees knees" but does want to "help people."

Problem is--as you say--Ruby and the group just solve all of their conflicts with violence. Not in a Power of Friendship/Love way, but ordinary, prodigy, punch-them-until-they-stop-moving violence. Particularly in the later volumes. Ruby doesn't defeat Cordovin with a power-up because a teammate was injured in the fight and she now wants to protect them, they just shoot at her until a massive grimm shows up to finish the job. They don't defeat the Ace Ops with the Power of Teamwork, they all split into separate rooms and we're told they're simply more talented than these professionals, period. Blake doesn't find the strength to defend herself by thinking about Ruby, she begs Ruby to wake and do the work for her. Jaune doesn't save Penny by unlocking some upgraded semblance at a crucial moment out of a love for her, he slits her throat. The group doesn't defeat Cinder in Volume 8 at all. There's no strategy anymore, or success tied to Love--and I do use the word "anymore" deliberately. Because for a long time RWBY's saving grace (no matter its other flaws) were the Silver Eyes: a straightforward ability Powered By Love that was at the heart of our hero's development. Ruby sees Pyrrha die and it activates. She sees Blake in great danger and it activates. Even in Volume 6 when it was getting very flimsy with memories of decorating the dorm and what-not, at least it still revolved around the concept of a found family, even if it was retconning the idea of mortal peril being a trigger. It still mostly worked.

Now though, Ruby simply decides that the fight is over and disintegrates the Hound--no emotion necessary--and she doesn't react at all when her sister is murdered. We lost the one aspect of the show that still revolved around the Power of Friendship/Love.

Which finally brings us back to Salem's opening speech. "There will be no victory in strength." AKA, the standard moral. You can't defeat me by training, learning fancy techniques, or even being a prodigy. At least, you can't wield those things on their own. All the straight-forward power in the world isn't going to bring me down. Her immortality should be a metaphor for that message, wherein the cast learns the thematic lesson of upholding the Power and Love by figuring out how to circumvent the practical problem of an enemy that can't die. This setup works. It's tried and true and tested!!

But than, as said, RWBY swerved hard. Now they're saying that strength is enough. Strength is the ultimate weapon. How do you deal with a traumatized ally? You punch him and demand that he return for more violence. How do you convince an abused brother to help you? Threaten him with your sword. How do you beat the best team in Atlas, possibly the world? By just being more powerful than them, duh.

How do you defeat Salem?

By fighting her. That's the closest the group gets to offering Ironwood a "solution" to their problem: we'll stay here and fight her. How is that going to work given the whole immortality thing? They don't know. They don't care. There's absolutely no discussion about the issue, yet the protagonists continue to push the message that the best--the only--solution is to stand your ground, sharpen your weapons, and find a way to punch the problem into submission. Oh, RWBY still appears very Power of Friendship-y with all the speeches about how they have to work together, but post Volume 4-ish the writing hasn't followed up on that message.

RWBY said, "There will be no victory in strength" and then halfway through its run went, "Never mind, strength is awesome. Why would we write a story about strategy, creativity, and the importance of strong bonds when our heroes can just be More Powerful than the enemy? It's so much simpler to write a story where they're inherently as talented as the plot needs and they've all read the script, so they know they'll win in the end--that's their reasoning and justification. So much better than writing that complicated metaphor."

You know, I'm thinking now about Ironwood's final moments as he reached for his gun and then dropped his hand. Besides the fact that it reads as more sympathetically tragic to me than, I suspect, the pathetic angle RT was going for, within this framework it really reflects his whole philosophy. In a "normal" Power of Love story, there might be something to the idea that he isn't trying hard enough; that unlike our protagonists who Persevere, Ironwood demonstrates a pronounced weakness in giving up. But since the story has established quite clearly that conventional violence will not win this fight--AKA, a gun--it reads more like a tragic wisdom. In his final moments he's not giving up because he can't fight anymore (I mean, whatever else we might say about the guy, he's incredibly determined and resilient), but because he understands that the only course now available to him is useless. From the moment Oscar told him the truth, Ironwood has been working within the realities of their situation. It led him to doing horrific things in the name of finding a lesser evil, but it's narratively significant that he (and Ozpin) is one of the only characters who truly accepts the problem of Salem's immortality and doesn't bow out of the fight (like Raven). He understands that picking up a gun and shooting this being is the height of stupidity. It's a waste of time, of energy, of focus. It might be comforting to pretend that their weapons are still a viable option, but he's not going to spend his last slice of life chasing a delusion. It won't work.

Meanwhile, or protagonists are still ignoring this problem 99% of the time and the other 1% they're going, "Hmm... but what if we tried brute strength 🤔?"

This isn't Our World

When Weiss fell into the abyss, there were a lot of things she was expecting, first and foremost was a hopefully quick death. The second was nothing at all, what she hadn't expected was waking up in the middle of... Mantle? Right, it looked like Mantle, except it was still in tact? She could see that it hadn't gone to shit yet.

The other thing she hadn't expected, was that Jaune was with her, and on top of her, holding her as tight as he could in his arms. Not that she minded the closeness, honestly anything was better than falling into the abyss. And being hugged by him, after everything they'd just been through was nice... really nice. She quite enjoyed being held, so much so that she hadn't even considered not hugging him back.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright Weiss... I thought I lost you."

"Jaune? While I'm extremely glad to see you." She nuzzled into his neck to add to the bout of affection, "What are you doing here? Wherever here is, didn't you make it out?"

"I fell... Winter made it out though..."

"Oh..." Right, she was remembering the last bits that happened when... "Jaune..."

He wouldn't look at her, and he was shivering, "Jaune please look at me."

She felt her pulse freeze, his eyes were red and blurry... he'd been crying. She only remembered him being this bad twice before. "Jaune, it wasn't your fault."

"Of course it was Weiss... I just... I had to though... I know I couldn't save her, but... but I couldn't lose you... not you..."

"Oh." He was always such a sweetheart with her. Again she pulled him into a nuzzling hug, gently rubbing his back.

"Ahem."

Then a cough broke them up.

"Sir... what are we doing with... these two? They just appeared out of nowhere."

"I don't know Bree... we should probably have the General informed though."

'Harriet? Clover?' That couldn't be. Weiss opened her eyes to see passed jaune. And sure enough, it was the Aceops and... and their friends? Their friends, who still looked like they had just...

"This is when we got to Mantle..." She whispered aloud.

Jaune blinked and pulled away to look back, to look at their younger se-

"Weiss..."

"Yeah?"

"We're not there."

Both of them took headcount, and they were right. INstead...

"Pyrrha?"

"Jaune? Weiss?"

Pyrrha Nikos, was alive... her armor was... a mixture of her normal gold and bronze and... and a bit of white...

No one knew what was going on.

Plot twist: Clover's older than Qrow but his semblance blessed him with flawless skin and slowly-greying hair. Mans hit 35 and just. Stopped aging. One time the other AceOps found his yearbook photos and were either baffled, skeptical or infuriated when they saw the date.

Man aged like fine wine fr.

do you have any subby elm ideas? with james or clover or the rest of the aceops as doms?

🦋 content!: d/s dynamics. petplay. oral sex. cockwarming. .

elm & her adorable praise kink ♡ the prettiest service sub who loves making her doms feel needed & so, so good. while it took her a while to be open about it, now the ace ops + james know that when she's acting all antsy & can't rest, one of them needs to fuck her so good that she can't remember her name to fix it.

bunny sub elm oml. she's the cutest bunny for them all ♡

depending which of the ace ops + james she gets often means a difference in the way they help her "relax": harriet & clover opt to just pin down their gentle bunny & fuck her until she's shaking beneath them through her orgasm & begging for more. leave that sweet pussy dripping slick & their cum, gathering some up on their fingers to let her lick it off happily.

meanwhile vine & james are more likely to make her fall apart with their tongues, spending hours between her thighs with their tongues tracing circles over her clit, all over that soft pussy & dipping into that needy hole just to feel elm shiver & cant her hips in hunger.

cockwarming queen, she never feels more content than when she's got either harriet's strap or the other's cocks in her mouth or her cunt & is just allowed to lay there. drooling around it & sometimes suckling softly so she can hear the content moan that follows, sinking happily into that fuzzy, warm feeling with pride.

free use bunny! letting any of them slide into her needy holes while she buries her face in harriet's pussy, filled up with cum over & over until she's slipping into blissful sleep feeling it leak down her thighs.

tit worship so true. often times she'll wear nipple clamps with little bells, loving how she can feel the pressure of them beneath her uniform with every moment: clover shooting her a knowing grin & whispering in her ear that he'll make those pretty tits bounce when she does on his cock later. cooing how cutely she blushes.

Not to belabor the point about Ironwood but also a big problem lies with the Atlas military structure itself. Besides the terrible idea that the military hierarchy and civilian government should be intertwined there is the glaring fact that the Atlas military is terrible at BEING a military especially if their focus is supposed to the Grimm.

They've got good tech but terrible tactics and seem to rely on looking tough. The Grimm aren't impressed by bombast.

There is a shocking lack of covert ops which could have made all the difference in a battle like this one but all Atlas has are very LOUD and obvious teams like the AceOps and FNKI.

Like so much in Atlas, the military was a hollow shell. It looked pretty but shattered under pressure.
