The thing that really kills me about that fight against the walkers is the Bees get this incredible fight sequence of being perfectly in sync partners and easily covering each other’s bases but then it suddenly cuts to Weiss stumbling during her fight because Ruby, her partner, isn’t there. Jaune was good at helping her recover, sure, but nevertheless the parallels between functional partners and partners that are split apart were very, very prevalent.

During the Ace Ops fight Weiss was holding her own well against Marrow, yet Ruby still rushed to deflect his weapon when it was coming towards Weiss. Harriet had thrown her into the room, Ruby- still dazed on the floor- looked up, saw a weapon coming towards Weiss (who was poised with her rapier ready, mind you), and didn’t hesitate to come in and smack it back with Crescent Rose. The parallels between Marrow and Harriet arguing vs Whiterose silently nodding at each other making sure the other was alright, like! Ruby didn’t have to check up on Weiss but she did so anyways because they’re partners, because they’re there fer each other rather than individual units strung together on the same team.

After making sure Weiss was alright, Ruby continues to draw Harriet away from the rest of the fray. Then when Ruby is fighting Harriet, Weiss comes back to check up on her and summon an ice wall to defend her partner from Harriet charging at her. There’s something to be said about how Marrow and Harriet were so disjointed in comparison to Whiterose being there fer each other. Love versus a lack thereof, so to speak (and yes, I may be a Whiterose shipper, but this love I’m referring to is that deeper special platonic bond between people who fight fer their lives and trust and care fer each other wholeheartedly).

So now parallel that fight with the one against the walkers, where Weiss is stumbling in a 1v1 and Ruby gets overpowered by a walker because she’s having an extremely justified panic attack. They’re apart, and now both are struggling because neither has their partner there to support em. The Bees are doing all of these sickass combo moves and combining their different fighting styles perfectly while Whiterose is just having a plain ol Bad Time™️ right now. Love versus a lack thereof, so speak. That being said I do wanna point out that when Ruby was down on the ground, it was Weiss who called out to her and made the first blow against the walker who had her pinned. Shit man even when they’re falling apart Weiss is still the first one to reach fer her partner. The love isn’t fully gone, it’s hurting yes, but o h how the love is still there through it all. There is something to be said on love and the lack thereof and love that’s struggling to breathe but still persists.

What I’m saying is, there’s shit to be said about partners, about people tied together in trust and loyalty, about people who know the other so well they can almost effortlessly cover each other bases. There’s shit to be said about found family, about choosing people, about doing the very brave thing that is loving them. In V8, Yang talked to Ruby about risks and sacrifices and heroes. Later on, Blake had her gentle heart to heart about admiring Ruby as a leader, but what Ruby really needs right now? She doesn’t need a pep talk revolving around duties and respect, what she needs right now is someone to speak to her as an equal. As a best friend. As a partner.

Weiss, please fer the love of god, talk to your partner. She needs someone to lean on right now, and my clown makeup fer Bees Kiss is OFF but goddamnit am I polishing my shoes as I hope fer a Weiss and Ruby heart to heart.

#i adore how bumbleby fight together as an absolute UNIT but I also love the tragic undertones it has fer Whitwrose completely lacking that #like it doesnt have to be in a wr way- tho im so delusional i’d still countnit as a wr moment in the smallest- but CMON WEISS PLEASE #YOURE SO COMPASSIONATE AND BIG HEARTED AND RLLY GOOD WITH COMFORTING PEOPLE #like ur talk with Yang in v5? living rent FUCKEN free in my head please pull through fer Ruby im begging #rwby #ruby rose #weiss schnee #blake belladonna #yang xiao long #bumbleby #whiterose #rwby v9 #rwby spoilers

Why did they create such a useless character to show Cinder's backstory when Salem is literally right there AND the real question the audience wants answered???

Imagine if it had been Salem who stayed at the hotel and saw something of herself in the scrappy servant girl. She saw how the Madame treated little Cinder and offered a way out only if Cinder has the power to be useful to her. Maybe she put Cinder to a test of how far she was willing to go for freedom, or maybe Salem wanted something from the Madame that she wouldn't give so it was up to Cinder to provide

Either way, Salem gets a young disciple that's ruthlessly ambitious and easy to manipulate and Cinder gains the illusion of freedom under a new master

#rwde #ofc salem wouldnt be grimmified in this version bc she'd stand out too much to do under the table shit #or she still could be but the world actually looks like an anime like it did in the beacon days #v4 on is far too grounded in reality design-wise #where the hell are the folks w wild ass hair colors and styles?? the most we get is joannas green but she says like 10 words so who cares #tis some bullshit and why i refuse to call v4+ rwby an anime #anyway this was somehow prompted by me comparing vergil to cinderella #as you can see i am Completely Normal tm #ngl tho vergil is a better cinderella if instead of riches-rags-riches its power-powerless-power #cinder starts at the bottom so her baseline mentality is way off if you want to do a cinderella remake #rags to riches is abt underdogs clawing up the social ladder against all odds #but riches rags riches is abt reclaiming what was yours #if we use cinders random disdain towards schnees in v8 as inspiration we could have a story of rival businesses #cinders father gets booted from power/high society thanks to Jacques's maybe legal maybe not methods and meddling #could go several ways from there: #her father could die and she'd be left homeless and alone in the cruel underbelly of the wealthy and powerful #she could find work w the Madame and try to endure the abuse so she and her father can pay the bills #her father could straight up sell her to the madame #itd be a horrific way to learn the significance of power and how easily it can be taken #i wanna like cinder so bad but v5 on fucked her irreparably. she doesnt even dress well anymore ffs

see now lapis is my fave synth but v5 tuning feels counter intuitive to me so i play with her a lot less & basically what im saying is they should give lapis a cevio bank for me specifically bc cevio is so fun to use

#v5 isnt terrible but the drag to adjust set up is not as fun to me as just drawing lines however i want #synthv also lets u draw & i like that but its other parts of it that detract from the experience for me #(not being able to zoom without using a mouse)(drawing in notes is finicky for me) #cevio tho. cevio makes sense to me. it feels right. #cevio vbs sound so much softer to me tho it would take a bit to get used to ci lapis if they actually made her. #like ci flower sounds so much softer than vflower. neither are bad. but they are different

one of the aspects that i love most about the confession scene is that blake & yang both already know the big truth they haven’t dropped on each other. blake knows yang is thinking ‘i love you’ and yang realizes that blake is thinking it too as the clouds go gold behind her, even though she immediately questions it with the dropping of her gaze and the uncertainty on her face - for them, it’s a matter of being brave enough to speak it into existence rather than revealing previously-unknown feelings to each other. my question is, when do you guys think blake and yang first became aware of how they, themselves, were feeling? 

#though i love the thought of them having crushes on each other at beacon i think it's more of a curiosity than anything #like the precursor to a crush or even feelings #i wouldn't put my money on burning the candle either - i think yang was interested and blake still had a lot she was processing at the time #but that neither of them really thought concretely in that way about one another #at least not for the duration of v1-first three quarters of v3 #once beacon started falling i think their worry for each other spiked - you see blake and yang's faces during their call to each other #as beacon is under attack and then obviously everything that happens w adam after that #but of course #i think yang first started to realize her feelings were more than just 'like' sometime immediately after blake left after the fall of beacon #she realizes her frustration/hurt/bitterness/grief is more than just 'someone i trust and care about left me behind' because underneath that #there is a very raw and real ache of missing blake more than anything and wishing she were there #and that's when it starts to become apparent to us too #AS FOR BLAKE #again love the thought of her choosing yang in the emerald forest and being interested from day 1 #tho i do think she was drawn to yang in v1 and felt an affinity towards her i wouldn't say it developed into 'realized' love til later #she had love for yang which adam obviously took note of - especially the similarities between the two of them - #but do i think blake realized she loved yang until adam was threatening to take her away? nope #honestly i think she squashed it down after v3c11 when she ran away - compartmentalized and told herself that 'yang deserves better' etc and #didn't let herself think about it at all bc what was the point? she just focused on everything else going on and didn't acknowledge #then when they saw each other at the end of v5 - imo that was the turning point #that was it #their feelings rushed to the surface - broke through all the anger and suppression and grief #and they've been falling for each other even through all the issues they worked out from v6 onward #the end that's my theory and i want to hear all of yours too #RWBY #Bumbleby #RWBY 9 #RWBY Volume 9 #Blake x Yang #Blake Belladonna

Cass Briar 2023 Patch Notes:

The Diablerie Update

Its been a long 8 years since the abrupt end of development but we're back with a significant rework and a timeskip that assumes the successful diablerie of Prince Marcel of New Orleans (that's what you get for having such lax security around your torpored brother). We sincerely hope that you'll all particularly appreciate the addition of more explicit confirmation of Cass's queer identity now that we are no longer writing in partnership with a bunch of 40-something y/o cishet dudes. Anyways, here it is:

-Aromantic and Lesbian modifiers no longer hidden

-Pronouns updated: She/They (Lesbian Variety)

-Relationship to Sire (Astrid Hallman) tweaked to be more explicitly sexual (and romantic on Astrid's part), and updated levels of both resentment (as the blood bond has faded with time) and insecurity (both being now of equal generation)

-Huge buffs to Confidence and Self-Superiority

-Huge nerfs to General Deference Capacity and Respect For Autonomy

-Remainder XP spent on Dominate 4

-Slight redistribution of Ability dots

-New Paint-job for Stolen Motorcycle (now fits red/white/black color scheme)

-Coterie Nicknames Updated (Kristos: "Dirt Nap" -> "Captain America", Marcus: "9-to-5" -> "Marie O' Net", Clair: "Covergirl" and Jean: "Socks-in-Crocs" remain unchanged)

-Tendency to mask Malkavian heritage reinforced (Hecata is now most implicated, being much more ambiguous than Giovanni alone and less suspicious than Lasombra, though lingering Ventruesque vibes from the diablerie may send mixed signals)

-Death Faked with aid from Leopoldite contacts (to end New Orleans-specific obligations just in case she ever does return to active play)

-Paranoia Increased

-Downward Spiral of Humanity now veers towards the Path of Power and The Inner Voice (just a little more palling around w the sabbat would probably tip her over into committing to it)

-Playlist now includes 100% less Panic! At The Disco

That's all for now, but community feedback is much appreciated and may spawn more future updates

aka plz ask me abt my oc so i can fill out all the shit ive inevitably forgotten to think about

#vtm #cass oc #i hope im not the only one who finds the video game patch notes style funny #tho honestly i didn't have to change as much as i thought i would to update her #though i also may be missing things that ive just subsumed into my default picture of her over time that werent actually there in game #and i did decide to keep her mechanically in v20 since i really couldn't find a way to make her fit v5 #tho i have given some consideration to the lore progression and settled on something of a blend #but like. literally none of her merits and flaws even exist in v5 and neither does the distinction between normal and carrier malks #and i also feel like in general lower gen pcs feel kinda toothless in v5 compared to v20 #anyways #cass is a much gayer and much worse person now that i don't have to worry about what my dad and his friends think and i love that for her #tbh its a miracle that i stuck with this game when my introduction to it was with that group

For some reason TTRPG books are really hard for me to read (maybe i just have a hard time with PDFs?) SO i've been reading the VTM fandom wiki (are there any good non-fandom affiliate wikis for VTM?) and I'm glad I have bc its clarifying a lot of lore things I didn't like and I actually like them now :)

#Most of my VTM lore knowledge comes from VTMB so a lot of modern canon stuff just goes right over my head #but i looked up the Vienna thing/Second Inquisition/Beckoning (things i never really liked when i heard about them) #and now i think its actually really neat set dressing! I am so sad that ShreckNet got hacked tho D: my poor Nossies #and im cross checking the fandom wiki with my PDF of the v5 book to get more context. it helps #i just cant sit down and actually read the PDF bc my ADHD haaaaates books these nights :( i hate this i just want to read like i used to #vampire the masquerade #vtm #text

the only things keeping me afloat this xmas holiday have been bouldering and doctor who like dear god i need to get more outlets

#was lying in bed last night wide awake till 2am because i was thinking about rtd's writing and also the v5 i was projecting the other day #lmao #also went climbing w a friend and had a good chat that was good #but seriously i'm like. brain filled to the max with doctor who thoughts #and also if i don't go climbing every couple days i will go insane #getting my strength back tho which is nice #the v5 was an overhang it's not at all a climb i'd usually do so i was v proud i worked at it and got like 4 moves in #going up to uni for new years tho and i am gonna drink a whole bottle of red wine with my housemates so that will also help fix me

Never feel cringe for talking about your OC x canon ship. One time I showed someone a series for the first time and when a character showed up he was said “where is his wife” bcs I talk about my fanon ship so much

#my posts #(it was a joke tho. i am not lying and saying chae-yeong is real) #anyway read the rwby age swap bcs my oc x canon ship will be kissing on the mouth in it come like v5

[waitlifted]

ooh I just had a thought

so the only verse where cass comes out in her main setting is reversed verse, because you know, hard to marry your wife the crown princess and ascend to the throne without people finding out you're gay gkdjfddjsfdgjdfsj

but since I have it as part of that verse that their marriage ushers in a new era of acceptance for gay people in corona and its neighboring kingdoms, what if the coronan equivalent of pride winds up held on the anniversary of their wedding as it basically becomes a holiday in the queer community as it marks an important date in history

#(( and we all know coronans will take any excuse to party LMAO modern pride would be up their alley )) #(( just imagine tho... the lanterns becoming a queer icon... i think It Would Be Nice )) #ooc. #change the fates design (v5.)
