What details have you changed on Teams RWBY and SPRN?
Glad you asked! Really, the only ones who haven’t been redone at all are Sun, Pyrrha and Ren, simply because I love their designs enough that there really wasn’t anything I wanted to change!
I am going to be showing pictures of all the outfits that have changed from their previous appearance. If one isn’t shown, it’s just because I haven’t changed anything about them, so this post is a bit long.
But now starting with Ruby:
Tumblr media
Not much has changed overall for her Mistral design, but changing a few details have really pulled it from being my least favourite Ruby design of the lineup. It’s probably still on the bottom, but it’s far better than the first attempt. 
I widened the gap in her skirt to show more of the red petticoat underneath, and took the V2 inspiration with her emblem being printed there rather than as an emblem on her cape like in the original. I like the more natural inclusion of it rather than the constant clip either on her cape of her belt, and it leaves room for her cross imagery. 
Besides that, I added some silver buttons on her belt and the silver thorned stems on her corset. I think it looks cute and really adds to Ruby’s rose theme. The dog on her chest pouch was always there, but her pose in the original piece just covered it so you couldn’t see it. 
Plus, I tweaked some of the colouring choices, namely on her gloves and the pins holding her cape. I didn’t know how to make them not look dumb and also keep the red on her arms to keep the colour flowing. I decided to go for a deeper maroon colour, and I really like that more toned back colour rather than the bright red from before. 
Tumblr media
Not much really changed for her Atlas design, and it still remains one of my favourite from Team RWBY as a whole. The only difference is that the silver thorn design on her corset carried over and stays on all her designs barring her first one. 
Tumblr media
I changed a few things around for her Vacuo design and I honestly like it more now. 
It’s still very similar to the OG design, but I added the thorns on her corset, a pouch replacing the hanging bullets, and the silver inside of her boots were changed to a maroon instead. The silver before really did help set apart the red laces, but I think with all the extra silver she has now, the large areas of silver on her boots were just a bit too much. 
Also, she now has a necklace! It’s a sunstone, and I like how it incorporates the goldish yellow from Yang into her design without being too much for Ruby’s more gothic colour pallete. I gave her the same maroon gloves from her Mistral outfit, it’s hot in Vacuo and her hands need protection when holding Crescent Rose. 
Tumblr media
Okay, biggest change for Ruby’s adult design is her hair. I actually don’t know why I didn’t change it since the OG is specifically for AZRE still, and the lore that SEW start showing white hair earlier on in their life has been established since new the beginning? So, idk why I didn’t do that in her adult one???? 
Either way, her hair is mostly white now. You can still see some reddish black on the tips, but by the time Ruby’s in her early 30s, which is the start of AZRE’s next gen sequel, her hair has gone nearly completely white. 
I also changed the silver of the boots to white just so the colour flows a bit better and she actually have Weiss’ colour on her. With the addition of the thorns, all the metal, and the new silver lined pouch instead of her bullets, the silver is still kept pretty consistently in her design so I can sacrifice it in her boots for white. 
Also her sunstone is still there, of course, and her maroon gloves. I just like how it adds a further level of protection for Ruby’s hands, and the darker colour helps with the black to excentuate the red. Her rose decal on her tights is a little hard to see, and I did mention perhaps lightening it in further drafts to see it better, but when I did it just looked too much and cluttered her legs, so I kept it black.
I’m starting to like it more, like a more hidden detail to her rose theme rather than apparent like her rose clapse and corset thorns. 
Next is Weiss:
Tumblr media
The only thing that I changed on her Atlas outfit was the shape of her boots, removing the red apples on the bottom and instead having the boot trim be the apple shape instead. I like it but you can clearly see that somehow the shape of an apple continues to allude me. 
Tumblr media
Now I completely overhauled Weiss’ Vacuo design, and I like this one a lot better.
I still kept some of the main features of the OG design in this revamped one. She still has the short, bell shaped sleeves, with added black gloves underneath for both protection and to balance the black on her design to include her arms. The pouch was also moved to the front, and I added a second black pounch on her belt.
Her long jacket style was changed to have a completely closed front rather than the open chest area, and the front white frills now go over her longer black skirt, keeping that wide skirt shape that Weiss uses while balancing the two colours more. Similar to that, I added thin tights to protect her pale legs, and darken her legs so that the white boots stand out more. 
Her boots haven’t changed too much in look. They still have the black soles, silver trim and red gems, but they’re longer than before and the dip isn’t as extreme in the middle. 
Tumblr media
Fun fact, this was the original design for my Adult RWBY a few years ago, back when my edits were absolute garbage.
Same with her Vacuo design, I completely revamped the OG design for the new one. Before, it felt kinda old fashioned, in line with how Atlas was decades before, and I wanted to go more into a business woman style with Weiss’ known design features.
I replaced the more poofed sleeves for the normal bell shapes, with the black fur and the shorter black gloves. The actual jacket was made more into a long coat type, with the original strapless dress now more of a sweater dress like her atlas one, just now without the white trim and less poofy. I did keep the idea of the blue sash around her waist, but it’s tied at the front in a more normal way, and the large frill at the back let the red on the inside that you see mostly in the collar travel down to her legs, like her Beacon design. 
I finally remembered the tights. The OG design was meant to have tights, but every time I kept forgetting because I would be using previous works as refs, and then remember like ten days after finishing. Either way, the tights work similarly to her Vacuo tights. They darken her legs to make the boots stand out, and also work in keeping her legs warmer than just having them bare, since she lives in Atlas.
Her boots are pretty much the same, just more form fitting at the top with added silver decal. The previous red details were swapped for black and really they’re kept pretty monochromatic, since the big red collar, the added red pin, and the visible red of her coat tails more than keeps the red in her design. 
Along with the slightly different design of her crown, which is meant to allude to the petal shapes of Blake’s emblem, Weiss’ hair is longer as she gets older, but it’s never going to get as long as it originally was. She keeps it in a low ponytail similar to how it is in the OG version.
Tumblr media
A minor thing for all of the Blake designs is that the scars on her shoulders are more visible, rather than being hidden by the straps of her backpack. Simply because of how big Iya’s claws are, it’s strange that they were so close together. 
Now for her Menagerie outfit specfically. the upper half of her design remains pretty much the same; her top, backpack, different length gloves and ribbons, stomach scar, and her white belt and pouches were made bigger compared to how tiny they look on the OG draft. Her bottom half was changed up more.
Her previous pants were meant to try and replicate her canon Mistral pants, but honestly felt a bit plain since her boots are much shorter than the thigh highs. So I still kept the black pants with the purple tint, and added her emblem on her thighs with white lines similar to her V2 pants. Both the tint and the lines help to separate her black pants from her black boots.
The boots still have the paw decals and the white soles, but since her emblem is on her pants, I removed the metal emblems from the top of her boots and had them as stringed up boots instead. 
Tumblr media
Really, the only difference between these two is the colour of the top of Blake’s left glove and her inner coattails. Both were white in the OG draft, but i changed them to purple instead. 
Tumblr media
Similar to Weiss’ Vacuo outfit, I completely revamped Blake’s Vacuo look.
The style of her shirt is pretty much the same, but I added a hood with some cool shadow decals at the bottom, adding some white to the top of her head and also protecting Blake’s face in Vacuo. The gloves are pretty much the same, only that I changed her right one from black to white, just so there’s some white there and the black ribbons stick out and keep the black there also. 
As much as I love showing scars on my characters, I did swap the more crop top for a completely covered hoodie and highwaisted shorts. They took up too much when I made them completely white like in the OG, so I had the top and bottom rolled up bits as white and the middle black. On the sides, she now has pockets similar to how Sun’s jeans worked also; extra storage and something to look at on her legs. 
Her tights were black with white gradient in the OG design, but I decided to keep the purple tints just so Blake can have what little purple she does and stops her from looking completely monochromatic. 
Her boots are pretty much the same also, I just added the silver buttons on the rim just like her Beacon boots, and because they look cute.
Tumblr media
Her adult one is pretty much the same save for a few tweaks. You can’t see on the original because of the pose, but the front of Blake’s jacket didn’t actually have the gold buttons on them, which I decided to add. 
The only other thing is her boots. The top rim was originally white, but I changed them to purple instead to separate the white rim from the white pants. Plus, I remembered Blake’s emblem and added it to her left boot, similar to how she wore it on her left thigh in Beacon. 
Finally for the team, let’s do Yang:
Tumblr media
Same outfit, but I actually remembered that Yang did in face lose her right arm so any pouches and things she needs to grab is on the left side.... where she can reach it.
Other than that, I added some gold metal on her boots and changed the yellow soles for black. It just concentrates the yellow a little bit better, and stops the bottom part of her design from looking a little lacking of her colour. 
Tumblr media
Same thing, her pouch was moved to the left instead, and the gold metal soles were added to her shoes. The silver armband was always a design point, I just never included it in the OG draft, and is actually one of Eirian’s silver wristbands that she gives to Yang. 
Tumblr media
Besides Ruby, the Vacuo designs really weren’t something I was jiving with. 
For Yang, I swapped the leather jacket she usually wears for the more comfortable jock jacket. Is it the jacket I designed for her Ice Queendom redesign? Yes. Do I care? No.
I love the softer yellow sleeves and her emblems on the top, and the flames on her middle to add to her fiery design. Her pouch was moved again, the sash is more buttoned on, and the inclusion of her silver wristband is still there. Her shorts are still the same, just more detailed with added pockets and lines for interest,  but the thigh high socks were replaced with shorter yellow and gold gradient socks and kneepads.
Boots kept the metal front like her other designs, removing the belts, and swapping the black soles for yellow. Overall, I wanted this design to be lighter, since I didn’t want Yang in so much black while in Vacuo.
Tumblr media
Yang’s adult outfit has been changed twice actually. I had a previous version that I decided I didn’t like as much and redid it today, and this is the finalised version. 
I honestly moved away from the leather, geared up biker chick that Yang was and instead went for a more casual, lighter wear. She has the lighter black jacket with different toned sleeves, both having ursa skulls as a little nod to her allusion, and uses far more lighter cream yellow in her design than black. I like to think her shorts are more like khakis, similar to what Taiyang wears.
Her socks are different lengths to add a little assymetry to her, and her boots moved completely from the buckles to velcro for easy access. Really, I wanted Yang to look more comfortable and settled in an calmer life, rather than all geared up and ready for a fight. 
Onto Team SPRN, I only changed one outfit out of all of them which is Nora’s Vacuo outfit.
Tumblr media
I mentioned in the ask talking about Team SPRN’s designs that I wanted to redo Nora’s Vacuo design since it was very similar to her Mistral one and I wanted to change it up a bit.
I still went for the original idea of the light hoodie but just fixed the proportions slightly. The thing rim of her sleeves are now clasps, the hoodie zips up in front of her white shirt, and her belted skirt is swapped out for a more pleated skirt and a white belt, adding another pouch for extra space. A lot of the buttons are heart shaped too, which I thought was cute. 
Her short leg warmers were swapped for longer thigh high socks, which are now white with a pink gradient rather than the solid pink before. I wanted to protect more of Nora’s bare legs and keep the lighter colours throughout it, plus the pink on the bottom helps so that the white boots she wears are not lost in solid pink socks. 
The belts on the boots are clasps to help secure the boots on, and I shaped the buckles as more hearts. Nora could always do with some more cute hearts in her look. 
Looking at them now, I much prefer the newest version to her original.

Still doing outfit critiques? Oh this will be good! I wanna hear you talk about Cinder’s outfits cause I got my fair issues on them but I wanna know what you think of them. Especially the neck scar inconsistencies with her spy outfit and disguise in the tournament. Not to mention the pitch black blob outfit of Atlas… but also the lovely glass heels!!
Time to review Cinder’s billion different outfits, let’s goooooo-
Also just as a note, these concept arts very easily debunk the fact that Cinder’s backstory wasn’t in conception from the beginning, as claimed, as there’s no scar where her necklace actually lay in the episode; across her collarbones. The choker wouldn’t be relevant to “hiding her scar” as some have claimed because that isn’t where it laid and she bares her neck completely in her disguises.
Tumblr media
This is a strong start for Cinder’s outfits, and honestly one of the best ones. As a criticism to begin, I wish that they had kept the flowing sleeves from her original concept because they look nice, and because it keeps the flow throughout her outfits that progresses as she does. These sleeves then progress to the long flowing one in Mistral, and so on. Maybe the tight sleeves that Emerald references from, in the second concept art, could be black underneath the flowing sleeves while keeping the gold detailing, which would now pop even more. 
Overall on the outfit, I understand why the gold is as dark as it is on the outfit so that when it glows with her dust usage it pops, however on the red chosen it blends in far too much. However, I think this was fixed on her in show model.
I like that there are small amounts of black detailing across her outfit that give it some more depth and detail, beginning with her hair and then following through the body to finish at her shoes, that really end up looking like volcanic glass. Overall the black accents to her colour scheme do a lot to reinforce the burnt ash and cinders that accompany her name.
Her outfit overall sells this elegant, rich princess look in a darker way than say, Weiss. She gives off these evil queen, mafia daughter vibes which unfortunately she does lose completely once she gets to Atlas; but here it really sells her power and her deviousness. It sells her personality without her even having to speak, as well as paralleling Ruby while being a darker mirror version, even to her gold contrasting Ruby’s silver.
As a final note; I like the feather accent that gives a much needed pop of cool colours compared to her warm red and gold. It gives off a lot of elegant vibes to her as they could remind someone of peacock feathers and it looks like it’s pinning the slit in her dress, so it’s not just nonsensically put there with no forethought.
Tumblr media
Oh Cinder, what did they do to you.
This was absolutely a blatant case of Rooster Teeth wanting to sexualize their characters, whoever still says that RWBY doesn’t do fanservice now owes me $20. Even for a “sexy character” like Cinder, this is just nonsensical.
In this outfit, she’s supposed to be staying hidden in a dark environment which is what the black is supposed to do, but with CRWBY’s insistence, she now has a whole boob cutout as well as her shoulders / upper arms bared for?? No reason other than fanservice, which fits in with the whole ass shot we got in the episode.
One thing that was done right was removing the patchy grey accents, but they also removed the gold detailing that was in the OG concept art, leaving a majority of this outfit looking like a discernible black blob. However, I will say that I like that they added pouches as it looks more useful and adds a bit of interest to her outfit.
Please never bring the Nightwing domino mask back into existence.
Tumblr media
The Venom Dress— I mean.
It’s a very pretty dress and easily the best of the prom outfits, hands down. She looks simple yet elegant, it reinforces her theme of black, mirrors, glass, keeps her shoes and complimentary leg slit. Whereas the other prom dresses seemed like a jump from the girls’ traditional outfits.
I like the addition of the gloves and the sparkly design of the dress, rather than the flat black, it almost in part reminds me of Donna Troy. The glass shards section of the dress also kept the black of the dress from being flat and plain and boring, like Pyrrha’s red bedsheet she wrapped around herself. All of this serves to give her dress some visual interest where there wasn’t a lot of contrasting colours, it works well with her pale skin and keeps your eyes from sliding off of her.
Tumblr media
Wow, okay.
So, this really isn’t a nice outfit. I like the short jacket and it’s style, but everything else just looks bad. The overuse of bandages makes the outfit cluttered, unappealing, and just plain dumb to look at since you can achieve the same look with far better alternatives like a simple crop top. The attempts at asymmetry look bad with the random belts on her left arm and then the extra bandages on her right wrist, never mind the cauldron that’s holding onto her shoulder with no apparent straps.
The pants aren’t bad, but the detailing on it just looks kinda dumb, like she has built in kneepads on her knees. This was the prequel to Blake’s dumb catsuit kneepads, I’ve called it. 
And really, the colouring is just unpleasant together. A desaturated greenish-blue with orange jacket and sickly brown boots. As a disguise it makes sense that she’s not wearing the colours that she’s usually associated with, but they could’ve gone and put her in some better colours. I know he wasn’t gonna be designed for years after this, but the fact that she has the gem that Rhodes had, it would’ve been a nice touch if Cinder used the colours associated with the man who tries to help her. 
Some blues, purples and blacks would look really good for Cinder, with the pop of gold in her eyes, and are the opposite colours to the red and golds that she usually wears. 
The jacket is the one good part of the outfit, but I’d change the colour of it and get rid of the rest. 
Tumblr media
Now this actually isn’t a bad attempt to show a past version of her Beacon outfit.
There’s some aspects that I’m not a fan of, like how the straps around her neck attach to the dress, or the belt looking pretty slapped on since she didn’t wear that in the next outfits, but these are personal opinions that don’t really detract form the overall outfit. 
Honestly, a nice way to show a younger Cinder who’s design could easily move on to the one she has in Beacon. Could really use from a more saturated gold rather than this pale bronze looking colour, and it doesn’t really make sense that her feathered gem isn’t there if it’s meant to be a callback to Rhodes.
Obviously, he wasn’t designed yet, but retrospectively, it’s kinda strange that there’s a period of time where Cinder didn’t wear the gem when there really wasn’t a reason to. 
Tumblr media
This is honestly my favourite of Cinder’s outfits. It’s similar to her Beacon outfit but updated to better suit her character at this point, it really sells the regal nature and power that Cinder wants to emit with her look, while the assymetry works well on both sides with the slit in the right side of her dress being balanced with the long left sleeve.
The gold clasps look a bit constricting on the legs with how low down the second on is, but they add a splash of colour down at the bottom where the mostly red dress and black shoes are. Problem is the same as before, and even worse now that it doesn’t have the excuse of illuminating when she uses her fire Dust like in Beacon; the gold is so desaturated and dark that it melds with the dark red. A brighter gold like her eyes would carry that colour throughout and just look nicer.
The dark of her tights contrast nicely with the red though, and her shoes always suit Cinder just like before. Similar with her right glove, with the metal adding some detail in a nicer way. When she loses her left sleeve, the glove then matches with her Grimm arm too.
Not only that, but the shorter hair really ties her to Ruby, and the way her scarred eye is covered is more interesting than the eyepatch she wears later on in her Atlas outfit. The addition of glass-like earrings and the stone patch that looks pretty glassy really adds to her glass motif around Cinderella too.
I miss the glass bracelet she wore on her ankle before, I don’t get why that went. 
Overall, a great way of improving an outfit over a timeskip to show character growth. Until she actually showed what little growth she had, lmao.
Tumblr media
It’s not bad, honestly. Not great, but not bad. 
It works in covering her up and helping her blend into the crowds, I like that even still it keeps with the long sleeves and dress combo that Cinder always wears even as a disguise, and the brown used on the under skirt is honestly kinda nice. But the robe over it is a really ugly combo of mustard yellow and orange brown, it’s just really bad to look at.
Similar to what I said for her Vytal disguise, I would’ve liked if she wore something with more cooler colours, contrasting her usual warm red and golds. Obviously, in universe reason being she took it from the first woman who found her, but this is fiction, they could’ve made the woman wear better clothes before being murdered, don’t do her dirty like that. 
Also, Cinder’s grimm arm is covered in bandages and it just looks really dumb. She’s wearing really long sleeves like before, just leave the arm alone in the sleeve.
Other than colour, it’s not a bad disguise for Cinder to wear in Mistral.
Tumblr media
What pirate nonsense is this
Starting positive with what little I like, the cape she has is honestly really pretty and is a good place for her gem to move to, since she no longer wears the dress that it could pin to and look good. The black and gold work really well here, and it being over her body just sells how Cinder is now burning out, hiwhc is what this all black look is trying to show.
Problem is, they went way too far with the black. All the belts, the body suit, and the glove on her grimm arm now meld together. The little use of gold really doesn’t do well in providing that contrast needed to set apart all these little bits from each other. What little red we have is stuck on the soles of her shoes and the inside of her cape, which wasn’t even kept in the actual shoe. 
Given that she has always been defined primarily by the colour red, having her suddenly wear so little red is jarring, especially when this part of the show is where Cinder is picking herself back up?
It makes little sense from both a story and a design viewpoint. 
Also, this outfit is just really inappropriate for Atlas. The random belt pouch on her arm and wrist warmer looks dumb and cluttered, the exposed skin is dumb for the cold climate, and the whole latex texture for her outfit is so uncomfortable. The eyepatch just looks cluttered on her face too, just leave the scarred eye exposed, you can let your female characters look “ugly” RWBY lmfao.
Tumblr media
Not much to say here. It’s a nice maid outfit, and I like that the colours are completely gone on Cinder for her duration at the hotel. Even her hair is a good way of showing the transition of a lost child, picked up and “cleaned” by the Madam to look presentable, to the older teenager who, for all intents of a purposes, looks well cared for with her neatly done ponytail and brushed hair, even though we know she is anything but cared for.
The addition of the necklace adds some splash of yellow and matches her eyes, while being a sneaky way of hiding what is basically a taser on your child. The way it rests on her would’ve left the scar on the lower part of her neck, just between the collarbones, which obviously couldn’t be covered by her choker later on, so the scar is just a retcon added later on by the show.
But it’s still a pretty necklace.

Official Indefinite Hiatus Post.
Hello! I think It was about time I addressed my indefinite hiatus on this blog. As some of you may have seen, I’ve already alluded to this hiatus post coming and even posting about how inactive I am. It’s almost been a decade since I made this blog back in January 2012 or 2013, I even forgot what year I started with how long I’ve had this blog ever since. I entered the RWBY Fandom when it was still releasing its trailers and now I’ve been running this Glynda Goodwitch blog for so long now. I wouldn’t say I was the OG Glynda in tumblr but I was indeed one of the first Glynda Goodwitch blogs when I created her. The whole aspect of Glynda when I first saw her was that ‘ fuck she’s amazing, I want to roleplay as her.’ It wasn’t long I found a fellow Ozpin blog, shout out to @professor-ozpin for technically being the Ozpin I’d have occasionally have banters with and have amazing roleplay threads. I’ve met so many amazing people in my time here in tumblr and it’s amazing how some of them have still kept in touch with me even as I was slowly active. I remember being active in this website every day and every night because I was having so much fun roleplaying back then when I was still a student. So many amazing threads, prompts, asks etc etc that led me to have a big following and gave me the opportunity to meet so many more people to interact with.
But alas, as time pass by, responsibilities come in, the burn outs and the shifting of interest. I found myself disappearing for a week, 3 weeks, a month, and just suddenly comeback to being active almost every day. Then be inactive again after disappearing for a month, then come back—a recurring pattern until I completely stopped. It came to the point I’ve only been posting here to post my youtube video that was related to RWBY or I’ll be completely silent.
I love RWBY but it’s come to a point the interest isn’t in at level where I’ll actively look at it like how I did before. Now I’ve been gearing into Genshin content and was even tempted into creating an AU where Glynda Goodwitch was part of it. I remember always bringing Glynda around with me and what I mean by that is that, she has subconsciously been a part of me with how much I roleplayed her. I idolized her so much that’s why I wanted to portrayer jer/  I created my own version of Glynda, her own headcanons, her own lore, her own origin story and etc. It made me happy people loved my portrayal of her and it’s what kept me going. However, the burnouts came, people were leaving, less time to interact since I started a streaming career too. It came to the point where I had to make this post now because I am now officially archiving this account OR turn it to a more personal use. However, it won’t be used for roleplay anymore as I’ve mostly moved all of it to Discord where I can easily access the threads and talk to my roleplay partner directly.
It’s been a great journey with this Glynda Goodwitch account, but now I’ve become a full fledged Vtuber on twitch at twitch.tv/keichannyan . You may reach me there if you want to watch more of my content.
My discord LadyGodfather#6982 is always open for you guys to add me, just please state who you are so I know~
I will be requeueing this post every once in a while so it can at least my mutual who may or may now see this post.
And with that, I’ll see you all around. I love you all.
Kei. Signing off.

If you could redesign any of the rwby costumes which would you change and in what ways? Also what's your favorite rwby weapon (I love cinders short sword bow thing I'm actually making it rn!)?
Oh man you sent this right before I went to bed so I’m sorry that this took a while, but!! This is such a fun question!
Short, funny answer that is nonetheless 100% serious: put Qrow in one of those corset-vests.
Long, also serious answer:
Honestly, while I have a handful of criticisms for the earlier designs, the really great part about those criticisms is that they’re usually all addressed (hah) by the next design for the character. Like, OG Ruby was a bit plain and boring on the top, and then Volume 4 Ruby adds a lot more visual interest at the top for a really cute and balanced design. I think that RWBY has done a pretty good job in general with having their designs actually be craftable, too, which is Very high praise. Like, I think they actually looked at more than one real item of clothing.
The 3d models have their ups and downs when it comes to conveying designs; the sleeve seams on Yang’s V5-6 jacket, for instance, are just. Weird. But the 3d model means that, generally, it’s easier to tell how clothing items actually Work. They’re Consistent, and there are actual visible seam lines. Ones that Make Sense, generally.
I’m usually pretty happy with the designs. However, the ones I’ve seen for V7 (haven’t actually watched it yet lmao), are... idk I’m not super happy with them?
I actually wrote a rambling complaint about some of the designs last night at like 5/6 in the morning, but in doing so I pretty much spitballed a redesign for Weiss, so I’m just gonna focus on her!
Here’s the ramble on Weiss, by the way, if you wanna read that before you see what I came up with!
Now, Weiss and Nora share the problem of there being Too Much going on. I think Nora’s could have worked better if the blue and pink were more pastel, but in general her design just. Doesn’t feel like her. Same with Weiss. They both honestly feel more like Blake designs to me.
Weiss, in addition to it Not Feeling Like her, has way too many things going on there. I would get rid of the belts and pouches on the middle. Make the skirt one solid thing, instead of the asymmetrical white thing going on. Gather the top of the dress in the same way as the boots. Add buttons to the boots like on the skirt. Or make the blue coat on top a full flaring coat, with a simplified dress underneath. Ditch the gloves, she looks like Cinder. Also, FUCK THAT HAIR. THE BRAID LOOKS CLUNKY AND BAD IN 3D!!! Give her a haircut if you want a change! Or have her wear her hair loose as a visual cue that she is free even though she’s back in the city her father tried to trap her in!!
Now, almost twelve hours later, I looked at that and went, “Yeah, 5am me was right.”
And drew this rough redesign:
Tumblr media
[ID: A pencil drawing of Weiss Schnee from RWBY. She is a teenager with light hair, a serious expression, and a thin scar over her left eye. She is posed to show off the design, with one arm held down behind her skirt and the other held out to show off the sleeve. Her hair is loose and hangs down her back to her waist, save for a braid that circles her head like a crown. Diamond-shaped earrings dangle from her ears. She wears a dress coat with leg-o-mutton sleeves and a high neck. The coat fastens asymmetrically over her collarbones, with the right side fastened to the left side with a pin that looks like the hair comb/crown she previously wore. The coat is designed to reveal most of her outfit underneath, and is cinched in at the waist with a belt, before it flares out dramatically. A single bead on a decorative tie hangs from each edge of the bottom front of the coat, and she wears short gloves with a line of buttons, visible only on the hand she has held to the side. Weiss wears an asymmetric vest underneath the coat. It closes at an angle to the right with a line of buttons, and point in a V shape at the bottom front, the edge just below her hips. Underneath the vest she wears a dress. It is gathered in small pleats at the top, and the pleats continue into the skirt past where they are hidden by the vest. The skirt goes down to her ankles, and the pleated section is hidden partly by an overskirt. She wears a pair of Edwardian walking boots split into two sections. The section on the top curves out to just before her toes, and is fastened with buttons on the outsides. Her right foot is tilted out to show the heel. In the top left of the sketchbook there is another illustration of the boots where the tops are not hidden by the skirt. They go up to about mid-calf. In the top right of the sketchbook is a view of the back of Weiss’s coat, showing that her snowflake design is printed on the top back. The belt goes across the waist and is held in place by two belt loops. At the back waist, a pleat flares out to the bottom of the coat. End ID]
Boy oh boy, I may be biased, but I like this design better. In the original design, the belts and pouches were the most visually ugly for me, but I also wasn’t happy with the sheer amount of components going on, and I Did Not like the boots. So I simplified some things (the asymmetrical skirt), added more unifying elements (the pleats on the top and the skirt, the buttons on the vest, the boots, and the gloves), and overall made her hair less ugly. I also didn’t like how they had components that looked like two different coats, so I simplified that into one big coat. In general I think it makes for a design that’s a bit easier to look at, but that’s just my opinion. I think Volume 7 Nora and Yang would be other designs I would like to change around a lot, and I would change Jaune’s around a little.
I have... a lot of opinions about character design, apparently?
Yeah. Anyway, as for weapons, I’d have to say Emerald’s are my favorite. I just love how they look and function, especially the chain part. I think it’s a really clever design. The weapons are always going to be the place where RWBY shines, but I’m still always caught off-guard by how inventive the designs can get. Also, I can’t wait to see how you do Cinder’s bow! Props are Not My Area so whenever I see them I’m blown away, and Cinder’s weapon is such a neat design to do.

Everything We Learned In RWBY Volume 6 Episode 3 (Spoilers (Duh)) *Long Post Warning!*
We learn that Salem and Oz come from a time when everyday folk could use magic (Themselves included) This also explains why Salem and Oz are the only ones who can use magic
We FINALLY learn Oz’s original name: Ozma (Before he was Oscar, Ospin, and whatever other names that start with Oz/Os.)
Oz didn’t save Salem to win her heart or for glory, but because it was the right thing to do. Nice moment to develop Oz’s character of being a genuinely nice guy.
Oz and Salem were in love. But, c’mon, those two are like the most attractive people in the show, it was inevitable for them to hook up
Ozma dies from a simple illness. Really ironic, and I’m pretty sure that was the intention.
Looking back on the episode, the line “It was here where mankind would fall to ruin” over the shot of the God of Light’s pool has a neat double meaning. It’s where the God of Dark would kill all the humans, but also where Salem would gain immortality, leading her to the events that kill humanity in the first place. 
Also, apparently anyone can just come into the god’s domains? Seems a little dangerous should some poor idiot happen to piss them off, but go off, I guess.
We get to see what the brother gods really look like, and in far greater detail than in Qrow’s story back in Volume 4. 
I just want to take this moment to appreciate the design of the brothers too? Like, the elder having elegant stag antlers, being more muscular and stands up straighter is a nice contrast to the younger brother being hunched over, scrawny and with twisted goat horns.
Also also, the entrance of the god of darkness? Super creepy. I love it. Reminded me of the illusion of Salem in the Volume 5 finale.
Thought for sure the God of Dark would say something like “I’ll bring Ozma back if you devote yourself to me.” And then he turns her into a grimm-human hybrid. Glad I was wrong, since the actual story places the blame on Salem. Which is good, since she’s, ya know, the bad guy?
We get to see a taste of the brother’s powers
The gods can apparently bring the dead to life and return them just as easily
Love the designs of both their dragon forms Especially how the elder is an eastern dragon and the younger is a western dragon It shows how they’re both similar, but still very different.
I also like how they squabble like actual brothers. As well as how they have their own egos and laws they abide by. Like, the minute the younger brother realizes that Salem already asked the older brother to bring Oz back, he immediately turns her away and even helps punish her. Reminds me a lot of other pantheons from mythology. The gods aren’t perfect. They make mistakes, but ultimately, the choice is out of mortal hands.
The brothers gave Salem immortality so that she could learn the value of life and death. (Did anyone else feel bad for Salem when she tried to kill herself? I like how they’re trying to make her a sympathetic villain).
This ultimately backfires, as Salem uses her immortality to rally the humans against them.
Really like how they portray Salem as a cunning strategist, even back then. It shows us that she knows how to turn people against one another. And since that is her long-term strategy, I guess that’s a good trait for her to have.
But even this backfire backfires, as the gods easily kill off all humanity, except for Salem. Seriously though, who in that battle party thought that bringing some arrows and fireballs to kill Gods was a good idea? Probably Steve. Steve is a fuckin idiot
We also learn why it’s called “Remnant”. A cool detail I didn’t know I wanted
Also, I get why some people are mad that the gods called Remnant an “experiment”, but it makes sense. They’re immortal, omnipotent beings. They can do whatever they please, and sometimes that involves making a world and killing everything on it. Haven’t you ever played a sandbox game like The Sims?
At long last, we see exactly what caused the moon to shatter. Something that people have been speculating about for literal YEARS
Honestly though, I did not expect it to come from the God of Darkness being a dramatic lil bitch. That, or he’s in desperate need of glasses. Or an ice pack. Like, damn dude, are you okay?
Salem jumps into the pool of Darkness and that’s what makes her look all “Grimm-y” Like, I get what your thought process was lady, but you seriously did not think that through that at all.
We get to see what the other three relics look like, and that one theory about how the symbol of the four kingdoms reflect the relic that lies there is confirmed. (Link here) 
Looks like the Relic of Creation is a spear (Or torch, maybe?) the Relic of Destruction is a sword, and the Relic of Choice is a crown.
The god of light tells Ozma that if all the relics are brought together, the gods would return and judge humanity. This is probably why Salem wants the relics: To get a rematch with the gods who gave her the cold shoulder Which is good, because before this, all we knew about Salem’s motivation and why she wanted the relics was to, assumedly, take over the world.
So, the Gods didn’t really “Curse Ozpin for failing to stop Salem in the past” so much as they “Gave Ozpin the choice to reincarnate and make sure humanity was ready for the God’s return”
Although this makes sense, given that if Oz had told the truth to them, he would also have to come clean about the relics and the gods coming back, which would probably only add to the stress the team was already facing.
Ozma’s first reincarnation was a ranch hand, like Oscar
(I’m only assuming this because he fought off a Beowulf with a pitchfork instead of a sword at first.)
Now we see why only Oz and Salem can use magic. They existed when humanity could still use magic. With this new race of humanity, “magic” can only really be used with dust, and even then, it’s not nearly as strong as before.
Salem is a witch confirmed (But c’mon, that was pretty clear from the name.)
Salem and Oz definitely fucked after rebuilding that house. Probably even before.
Oz: “What do we do now?” 
Salem: “Each other”
Also, that house that Salem and Oz fucked lived in is probably the same one as where old wizard Oz would give the maidens their powers.
I like how a piano version of “Divide” plays in the background of Oz and Salem’s convo about becoming gods themselves.
“Salem uses the power of boners to get Oz to become a false god.” *Ding*
And if you still doubt that Oz and Salem fucked, they have four kids to prove that they fucked at least four times.
So their kids can preform magic, and I originally thought that they were the OG maidens. But, a friend of mine (@clover11-10 follow her, she’s the coolest) pointed out that they most likely died in the fight with Salem, and Oz probably gave the maidens magic because they reminded him so much of his kids
The old man that appeared in that scene of him passing through different lives was probably the Wizard who gave the maidens their powers.
OZDAD CONFIRMED TO BE A REAL DAD. RED ALERT RED ALERT.
The biggest takeaway is we get the main motivations and backstories for both Salem and Ozma/pin/car
So little mini-theory here: When Oz asked Jinn how he could defeat Salem, she simply said “You can’t”. But I like to think that this was only because of the way he worded the question. He asked, “How can I defeat Salem?” Not “How would one go about defeating Salem?” Jinn most likely knew that Oz wouldn’t have the guts to kill his beloved. That’s why he needs someone else to do it. Someone who wants to help people just because it’s the right thing to do. Someone who can kill Grimm with a single look. Someone with a smaller, more honest soul.
This was a part-review, part-shitpost, part-analysis of the newest episode. There was a lot to unpack and I really enjoyed this episode overall if you couldn’t tell.

Finished FF7-R
Some general thoughts.
Thought the first: What the FUCK was that ending?
Like, I went into it having played the OG. Several times. Like, upwards of 20 or so. I’ve done everything there is to do in the OG, multiple times. I have read the original script. I have read several (presumably) more faithful translations of it. I have read BTS, interviews, general discussions by the creators, and been an active participant in the fandom for more than 20 years.
And even with all of that, I’m extremely confused by that ending. Like, I know what happened. But at the same time, I don’t know what the fuck happened. 
I mean, obviously they changed stuff. And good for them for daring to do something different. To break the mould, to try something new. But I’m getting off topic.
The point is, even with my knowledge of the original game, of who and what Sephiroth is, of his motivations, of Reunion and the black cloaks, of Zack and his fate and his connection to Cloud... I still feel the story took narrative skips and forgot some exposition here and there.
And if *I* feel that, how the hell must a newcomer feel?
Thought the second: So, Wedge survives. Defies fate somehow. And then randomly dies anyway. So much for fate. And then Fenris -- I mean, Biggs -- survives. Just out of nowhere. Like, dude, you monologued for two straight minutes as you died in my arms. I even did a little hand wavey motion for you to move it along halfway through. And now you have the AUDACITY to be alive? 
At least they gave Jessie some backstory this time around, and you’re the one who survives?! Really??
At least Wedge had the one-dimensional walking fat joke thing going for him, if you can call that a plus. Biggs, my dude, if not for your voice actor, you’d been the stale white bread token redshirt on the team. And you are the one who lives? Bah.
Third:
Speaking of Wedge, is really NO ONE going to mention how the dude had a fucking Shinra facility RIGHT UNDER HIS HOUSE, and that he may or may not have been fleeing towards it as the Plate fell, almost as if he KNEW it was there all along? I mean, he’d have to be a pretty shitty insurgent if he didn’t know about a secret tunnel right under his own godamn house, but the fact that he didn’t tell anyone about it? 
I feel as this was a huge dangling plot thread that really could have filled out his character, and then got left by the wayside. 
Fourth: 
Don’t get me started on the fucking “Whispers”, or as everyone’s been seeing me calling them, the Nazgul. What started as a vaguely interesting change quickly turned into the anime trope ending that makes no fucking sense and is disconnected from the story that is attempting to be told. 
Really, Squenix. While I like that you included an in-universe explanation for why you’re able to change things from the original story, you really could have done it in a less heavy-handed, cocaine-fever-dream-induced-hallucination. 
Fifth: 
The Turks. I approve of every single godamn scene with them in it, even if I feel like Reno was always one step away from having his man-tits out. Shout out to my boy, Rude, and his deliberate sabotage of Tifa getting gunned down. And also him being the one to push the button. Because fuck, my dudes, that changes so much about his character, and now I want to play with that.
Sixth:
So is Zack alive, or what? And if he is, did they retroactively shit in destiny’s plans? How far back does this go?
Seventh:
FOR FUCK SAKES WHY DID YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE ANY HINT OF GENESIS IN THIS GODAMN GAME. G-TYPE SOLDIERS, OH MY GOD, FUCK YOU, GUYS.
Eighth: 
I’m insanely guilty of writing Scarlet as over-the-top and slightly a dominatrix constantly in need of a good lay, and even I thought she was a little too much in this. C’mon, Squenix, it’s called subtlety. I know you’ve never once looked into it, but please, please try.
Ninth:
I loved me those motorcycle fight scenes. That said, what was even the point of Roche? Like, the first time you fight him, sure. But the second? He even stops to try to save you the second time, and then you immediately get caught again, and need to be saved by Avalanche? Why even include his saving you? It was a weird stutter-step to the scene. Get thee to an editor.
Tenth: 
Speaking of Avalanche... so, Wutai-funded Avalanche. While I love that, and love the political machinations going on here, what I don’t love is that Shinra later accuses Avalanche of doing exactly this, and Barret acts all exasperated over it. I know, dude, YOU were too cool for it, but you were the odd cell out who apparently didn’t jump on that. Clearly Shinra was correct in their accusations. Maybe you should address your own shit and maybe you won’t be so defensive.
Eleventh: 
Rufus, your coat looks stupid. But everything else, I love. Except you fucking launching yourself across the battlefield RWBY-style with your godamn gun for propulsion. Stay still so I can stab you!
Also, I don’t even want to know how many fanfics were launched off Rufus declaring he “owns” Cloud.
Twelfth:
Aerith. You’re perfect. Just keep doing what you’re doing. I’m hoping for a few “f-bombs” from you in the next instalment. 
Thirteenth: 
Barret. Dude. Tone it down a little. You’re at a fifteen, and I need you to be at an eight. Maybe a nine. Your best moments were when you were quieter, more somber, more soft. I know. We’re working with Mr. T Barret from the OG, but let’s try to step away from that a tiny bit.
I might have more to add later. But for now, those are my thoughts.
