I want to clarify that I’m not giving up hope that things will work out in some capacity. I still want to believe that the little web show that could will find a place that will let it finish its story.
This show is so freakin popular, not only in the states but also in Japan, who not only dubbed the series but even made their own anime for it.
This show is so popular that it got a two movie crossover with the Justice League.
WB may not care about legacy or passion or creativity but they do care about money. And while I’m just some faceless voice on the internet I’d like to think WB are at least smart enough to see that RWBY is profitable. It can make them money.
My preference would be for them to also keep the writers, VAs, and music team the same. That would realistically be my most ideal scenario.
Will we get it? I don’t know. But I’m not about to doom and gloom a situation when there’s still a shot, you know.
“Blind optimism isn’t great, but no optimism means we’ve already lost. We need hope. We need to take risks.”
Barbara said anytime Yang did anything that made anyone remotely horny she was going to put the single player emoji as a response. It quickly became a running gag.
Tom gave Greg a difficult task (Kerry) ‘cause he always pusses out and Greg always complies
But he also gave Greg the option to throw Tom under the bus
Tom explicitly explained the manipulation he uses on Greg, and how to do so with Kerry
Greg could have easily taken Kerry’s side and realized the danger of his own situation
Or cowered and blamed Tom to save his ass
And yet, Greg didn’t
He’s front row seats to the shivorce and Tom’s blatant betrayal and ugliness (to his own family no less,) yet he’s still loyal to Tom
Tom is just as much of a social climber as Greg, yet he has saved Greg’ ass and pushed for his success over and over again
The sad truth is despite the physical violence, psychosexual manipulation, drug dependency, possessiveness, power plays, emotional avoidance, straight up abuse, lack of communication, and stunning levels of repression

ROBYN: Clover, I’m so glad you’re here. Maybe you can help me understand why this truck that’s supposed to be taking construction materials to fi- (flutters tongue, clears throat) Sorry.
(Another take.)
ROBYN: Maybe you can help me understand why this truck that’s supposed to be taking- Ugh, damn it!
(Yet another take.)
ROBYN: Maybe you can help me understand why this truck that’s supposed to- Ugh! (to Kerry) What number take is this?
KERRY SHAWCROSS: Fifteen.
ROBYN: Alright, I’ll be in my trailer.

(During the fight at the ruins, Tyrian climbs onto Jaune’s shield and his weight brings both of them to the ground, sending the cast and crew into hysterics.)
TYRIAN: (to Jaune, laughing) I’m so sorry. Are you okay?
JAUNE: (also laughing) I’m fine.

SALEM: Then I see no reason for your cruelty towards young Cinder. She’s become our Fall Maiden, destroyed Beacon Tower, and most importantly, killed dear Ozpin.
(A piece of the set behind them falls, startling all of them.)
SALEM: Oh, my Gods, that scared me.
(The villains and crew break into hysterical laughter.)
Is RWBY a perfect series? No, not really. Some of the writing choices could be a little better (Why does everyone get a backstory except for Jaune?), and sometimes the pacing can be a bit weird (V9 was AMAZING, but it felt like it was jumping from one place to another, especially towards the end). It has some issues—I admit that.
But do I think RWBY is a bad series? Oh, ABSOLUTELY not.
I genuinely feel that the good of RWBY outweighs the bad by a METRIC ton. It's gorgeously animated, has an absolutely STELLAR soundtrack, the story is spectacular (despite some hiccups here and there), the characters are amazing, and all in all, it's been an absolute HELL of a ride. I've been following the series since 2016, and I do not regret the time I've spent watching it at ALL. No other series has made me feel as emotionally attached to its world and characters as RWBY has. It has been the absolute best emotional rollercoaster ride of my life, and I wouldn't trade it away for the world. RWBY is, and always will be, my favorite series of all time.
And it truly DEVASTATES me that it may never get the conclusion it deserves.
I admire Kerry's determination to see this story get finished, but I won't deny that hope is not looking very bright. It truly breaks my heart to see this series in the state that it is. While it isn't flawless, it does NOT deserve to have all of this baggage attached to it. I sincerely hope from the bottom of my heart that Kerry and Miles find a new partner that is eager to work with them and finish the story they've written for us. These two have bent over backwards to bring us this series, and I can't thank them enough. And I especially can't thank the late Monty enough for bringing this series to life in the first place.
Thank you to EVERYONE in CRWBY. You gave me something that I truly love and adore. You gave me something that is irreplaceable to me. Wherever you guys end up next, I wish you the best of luck, and I thank you once again for creating this incredible series.
And a big FUCK YOU to David Zaslav and Warner Bros for potentially killing this passionate series, and for having the GALL to shut these people down without even bothering to inform them first. GO TO HELL.
I really wish I could articulate properly how much I love RWBY as a show. How much I’ve fallen in love with these characters and this world.
I love this show.
I love it so much.
I can’t remember the last time a show hit me this hard, had become such a huge part of my life.
Has it had its rough patches? Absolutely.
Do I agree with every writing choice? No.
But the way this show embodies and nurtures it’s message of hope even in the darkest times and even when it’s hard. Not blind hope, or optimism. No. But the hope that trying your best, even if it doesn’t work out how you wanted. Even if you fail. Learning from that failure is still enough.
You are enough.
I am enough.
I love this show.
I wish I knew how to put this in better words. I guess the direct approach will have to do.
there’s just something so beautiful about blake and yang’s confession where it made even non-shippers shed tears during their confession scene. the amount of people who have said they weren’t big bumbleby shippers or just non-shippers in general and still cried a bit during this scene really just shows how phenomenal of a job crwby did for this moment. its so so so beautiful and the music and animation and script and voice acting and just every single thing about it pulls at the heart strings whether you’re a big bumbleby shipper or not, and i think that’s so beautiful
