Trying to be normal at work but just thinking about Chu Wanning who at 26 thinks he's beyond love and support after spending all his formative years without anyone to stand by him and who developed feelings for the first person who showed some interest and kindness towards him even if it made no sense and who then saw that person fall for someone else
That man who hides when he sees people smiling heading his way because he knows they'll stop smiling if they see him since everyone he knows is afraid of him because he sticks to the rules however harsh those rules are and reacts aggressively at any show of injustice, but who still uses his powers in secret to create barriers to shield his students from the rain and who after failing to save one of his disciple became hated by the person he cared the most about
Chu Wanning who's every clumsy attempts at kindness is taken as mockery or cruelty and who spent the last 10 years of his life being abused emotionally and physically by that same person he loved and and I'm aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OH SHIT TEASER DROP
Blue butterfly? Hmm, like the caterpillar… plus the weird hearts on its wings. Clearly some alice in wonderland stuff going on here.
Interesting to see one of Penny’s blades here… also the emphasis on friends that have been lost MAY just be like. Normal. But with this world being called the “Ever After” which sounds suspiciously like an afterlife name? I don’t wanna get my hopes up but gods…
Okay. If this IS an afterlife thing, then I bet this knight is related to Jaune. I mean supposedly he inherited his original weapons from one of his great grandparents or something right?
Hmmm… this kinda looks like a dragon. Interesting. Overall getting jabberwocky vibes.
Oh… who’s this? Maybe one of the random citizens who fell onto the island?
Mouse!!! There’s another clip the RWBY twitter posting showing them speaking more, which they captioned calling them “Little.” Anyways stan Little
WHOA THAT CAT IS NOT IN THE SAME ART STYLE. Obviously this is giving me cheshire cat vibes
Another funky creature… the colors in this shot are cool.
And another knight? Hmm…
All the flashes of character designs combined with the narration (she heard one more question… what are you?) gives me SO much to think about.
One one hand, we see a few humanoid characters, or at least hints of them — and as I mentioned before, this might be connected to the afterlife — so will we see any familiar faces? Or voices… we don’t recognize the narrator but a few people were speculating it might be Summer. Dunno for sure though, if she’s not dead and I’m this afterlife (maybe) she’s currently Grimm goop so uhh, yeah.
But then again we have the question being asked here. What are you? Clearly humans/faunus are unfamiliar to this realm. Which makes me thing it’s probably not an afterlife — or it might just be that souls turn into mice when they die or something, like there’s a lot of room for possibilities here.
The description for the teaser also mentions that this unfamiliar realm might end up feeling more familiar to team RWBY than expected, which is either making me think it will call back to their fairytale origins or again, it might have something to do with the afterlife or maybe even like, the origins of the brother gods or something. OR!! the origins of the faunus — considering one of the creation myths heavily involves an island and we have a talking mouse, I wouldn’t be surprised if we explored this.
Overall, looks super exciting. I was NOT expecting a lot of this visual direction we’ve seen peeks of so far. I still really hope they don’t skip out on what’s happening in vacuo. Can’t wait for 2023!!
