idk if this is just my current 'the summer maiden is a child' brainrot talking, but even the epilogue has this focus on children; from the orphan kid to the two kids being brought food to the bunch of kids playing with happy huntresses, it all feels intentional. like hey, look at these kids, how they're handling this situation, how it started vs how it's going right now, etc.

it's like what clover said: "what good is saving the world without another generation waiting in the wings? hopefully they'll leave remnant better than we left it for them." the children are a focal point in the epilogue, in a way, and it would not surprise me if this was brought further, right into the main stage with the summer maiden.

I miss rwby so much I haven't felt the same amount of extreme emotion since I saw Ruby kill herself in front of her older sister who raised her and watched the fandom explode with angst material.

#rwby #rwby rambles #listen if they don't get picked up it was a hell of a final season #15 year old mc gets put through the wringer and has actual reactions to her trauma and 2-3 years later decides fuck it #and drinks erase me as a person and start over tea #suicide tw #the switch over the course of 9 seasons from the sisters helping the partners with their abuse related trauma #to the sisters getting broken down by the cruel world and gaining soooo many mental illnesses they can't ignore any longer #and for the baby sister aka the hope of them all to be the first one to crumble so horribly #i love my little 5 dollars and a dream show with female characters who have depth and writing 99% of shonen can't touch

[h4lcyonism]

this is crazy to me bc jaune being the one to kill penny was given so much emphasis in the v8 finale but we were expected to just assume that everyone already knew about it?? with all the unnecessary jaune focus they could’ve focused on the one thing that was significant to him and his character this volume but didn’t 😭

#maybe it was because jaune had gone through 20+ years already so he’d kinda moved on?? #but it was clearly still fresh for rwby so it was still something that should’ve been acknowledged #rwby #jaune arc #penny polendina #emma.txt

[punk-hound]

So Weiss and Ruby are like extra gay in the RWBY manga huh lmao

#I just read through the first volume #personally I think weiss and Ruby are always pretty gay but #they made this scene even more gay than in the show lmao #also hi I haven’t posted on tumblr in years? #but I love these funky gays #rwby #ruby rose #weiss schnee #whiterose #manga

“I hate people who mindlessly praise RWBY and deny any of its awful writing choices”

I have no idea what circles you’re in that have people like this. I won’t deny they exist bc I’m certain they do, but I’ve seen so many ppl who love RWBY with all their hearts talk about multiple things across the volumes they didn’t like or wish had happens differently or where a scene was weak or where the pacing was off. Especially after people politely explained issues they had with V9 while still throughly enjoying the volume as a whole.

Again I’m not denying the existence of mindless praise but I have to ask WHO you’re coming across who In Earnest and not as a joke say the show is 100% Perfect For Real. Bc in the 10 years I’ve been watching the show I have not seen those people. Which maybe means I’m lucky?

But I feel like RWBY specially gets so much hate and shade and ppl talk about “bad writing” every other episode for the past six volumes like. Bruh if it’s THAT bad HOW are you still watching? There’s thinking it’s bad and hoping it’ll get better and then there’s hate watching and being confused why people seem to love a thing you hate and that doesn’t sound fun At All

#rwby #when the show ends SO many ppl are gonna make SO many videos about how it’s awful and how could it last so long #and I know objectively bad and boring shows can last really long times #but the happiness and hype so many ppl have when we get new news about it #also even if it IS a bad show which I disagree with #ppl can like bad shows I’m sorry you don’t like it or no longer like it I really am #but ppl are allowed to praise the good parts #not every fan wants to dwell on the parts they are upset with that doesn’t mean they are ignoring them #if you can sit through a 45 minute video where sownonw ONLY talks about the bad parts good for you #I’m here for the fun and the magic and the joy I can analyze on my own what didn’t work for me #not posting it online doesn’t mean I don’t think it and not seeing any hate doesn’t mean ppl think it’s perfect plz relax it’s been Years #at this point just watch sownthing else if after all this time you still don’t like it or can’t get back into it

in case anyones curious how Cloqwork goes

#masky says #doodle #rwby #professor ozpin #glynda goodwitch #cloqwork #shes already sick of this man and its barely been halfway through the school year #i just think they're kinda neat :)

[fanstuffrantings]

I truly think them making Jaune supposedly from a line of heroes was a mistake. I'll need to see how his family is if they show them in seasons 6-9 but for now what we know doesn't track.

A common trend amoung RWBY characters is the writers almost needing to have them come from somewhere important and it's so strange.

Blake suddenly being the daughter of the man who founded the white fang despite her parents never being mentioned/it almost being implied that she was orphaned or from a low class family. Pyrrha, Weiss, Ruby, and Yang get set up and we know they come from importance. And yes in Volume 1 Jaune does come from somewhere.

But out of the main characters that matter only Ren and Nora really get to escape from any of their family mattering and I don't know if it stays that way in later seasons.

Jaune himself though would very much benefit from just being a nobody from a village where technology was maybe a bit behind the times. He knows nothing about aura or semblances, and if his family had important warriors, they should've had that knowledge to pass down. Not to mention him getting to be leader of JNPR when everything in the show says Pyrrha was simply the better choice. Him sneaking into beacon gets dropped so quickly as a plot point that it doesn't even seem matter.

I dont hate Jaune but his backstory really doesn't work and there are simple fixes they could've taken that unfortunately they didn't.

#rwde #rwby critical #like why not have him be hand picked by ozpin who every few years will randomly choose a kid with potiential #and jaune jumped at the chance because hes always been helpful around his village and wants to grow stronger #maybe he even met some hunters/huntresses passing through his village #but overall hes a nobody #and make it that theres a 7/10 chance he dies training #because ozpins obsession with heroes from nothing gets people killed

RWBY fans, do we know what season the school year starts at Beacon? They are supposedly 17 when they start and we know it was fall by the time the Vytal festival started, so did the school year start in the spring? summer?

Ignoring the fact that it makes no sense for Remnant to have a Julian calendar, I understand their birthdays are:

Blake = January 19

Weiss = May 15

Yang = July 28

Ruby = October 31

Is Blake the oldest? Or does Yang’s bday wrap around the other way and she’s the oldest?

I don’t need Yang to be the oldest for flanderizing Mama Bear reasons (besides, she’s not the Mom Friend of the group despite misconceptions…Weiss is. Yang’s the Dad Friend of the group).

I am asking because Yang only being 15 months older than Ruby vs 2+ years older makes an interesting difference (1) knowing she had to step up and be the caretaker/surrogate mom growing up and (2) because it would be kinda weird if Tai got Summer pregnant like…barely six months after Yang was born / Raven left them.

#rwby #Team RWBY #im not sure if we’re supposed to think its a bit…eyebrow raising that Tai and Summer hooked up that quickly #or if the writers just didnt really think it through #Occam’s razor says the latter but wonder if its intentional or Yang is actually a bit older than the gang #even if the school year doesn’t work that way they could always just say yang stayed back a year to help out at home given what we know

i think i’ve seen this film before…

…and i didn’t like the ending

[rubyneo]

what do you think will happen to Neo once they get the cat out of her?

they bring her home with them. there's a direct parallel with neo and alyx. alyx stays in the ever after because she wants to fix what she broke, neo returns to remnant because (after realizing instantly that in a really fucked up way Ruby Is Her Reason For Living and she now doesn't have one) she's going to want to fix what she did on remnant.

"what do we do now?" asks ozma

"whatever we like," answers salem

#that is to say. neo looks to ruby; the source of all her pain and hopes #and asks her what she's supposed to do. she's done terrible things hasnt she? shes been a horrible person? #and ruby looks at her and takes her hand (the gentlest touch neo has felt in years) and tells her its up to her. whatever she wants. #and neo wants to go back home. she wants to heal what she's broken. and they walk through the doorway home #💌.txt #anonymous #rwby9 #rwby #ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT RUBY IS THE ONE TO HOLD OUT THE OLIVE BRANCH.

either tai has nothing to do with the crown of choice or anything related to it, in which case he's at home with zwei all "this is fine."

OR

he does have something to do with the crown of choice, which immediately turns the mood into "[chuckles] i'm in danger" once there's nothing left of vale and patch is the next logical location to raze to the ground.

these are my two, completely serious, no joke options /j

#rwby spoilers #i suppose it was only a matter of time #that i would also be asking “where is tai?” #when i've already gone through all his teammates at some point during the years #(yeah he could also be with glynda. but that's less funny option. so.)

[saintofpride201]

There's like... 5 layers of irony in the existence of Genlock season 2. The theme of the Ship of Theseus being prominent in season 1, and later season 2 being transfered to a different company, with writers, artists, and overall staff being replaced entirely to the point where it's not the same show anymore. The hamfisted anti-capitalist ideology that wasn't present in the first season (or at least not in the way s2 presents it), and the fact that season two is what it is because of greedy capitalistic practices. The fact that a plot point was greed and wanting results as quick as possible (also leading to the plot being rushed), and the fact that season 2 was quickly rushed out with only about a week of marketing out of nowhere.

Just... So many things. They may have had an RT supervisor, but a lot of good THAT did.

#Genlock #Genlock season 2 #I'm still salty that they assassinated Holcroft's entire character just to shit on Elon Musk #We get it. No one likes him. *I* don't like him. But honestly grow the fuck up. #Stop projecting your hatred of real life figures onto fictional characters in shows. It's pathetic. #Also the assassination of Marin. In both senses of the term. #She was a general who cared seriously deeply about ALL her people. But suddenly there's a heel turn where she's not so good anymore. #Retcons everywhere. As a result of writers who knew jack shit about what they were doing and didn't even bother staying consistent- #because they weren't even fans of the source material to begin with. #God I'm just so angry about how they trashed the whole thing. It's been 3 years i know. But i enjoyed the hell outta s1. #It got me through senior year at highschool after rwby v6 ended. And it was so damn cool #I miss it. A lot.

MAN... on one hand, I know a lot of us have seen the struggle coming including me. On the other hand it would be such a shame to see the series go down this way, especially at this point. The whole entertainment industry is going through a beyond shit patch atm, and commerical animation is expensive as hell, but there's smth abt RWBY that's just very personal to me and that I find to be so unique that I would be upset but not surprised to see it get frozen or canned entirely.

#bushful o rambles #text #rwby meta #aheem aheem #I've not been around as long as others only since the end of v5 #still about a good 6 years atp #it's accompanied me through a lot of ups and downs in life #definitely a guilty pleasure in some eyes XD #still holding onto a slither of hope that they'll manage to find some financing for stuff

...do people not understand that we want corporations to use Blaze?

Guys, it's non-targeted advertising. The best you get is choosing a specific country. It's not the laser-beam powered by cookies and tracking software that's part of the wider internet hellscape, it's spraying a bunch in a general direction.

It's the way adverts used to be and the way we want it to go back to being.

We want to advertisers to get used to this way again, rather than push for more targeted tools.

One thing I love about Goncharov is that Tumblr just decided it was a 1973 film.

That's actually really early in Martin Scorsese's career. Depending on when in the year it came out, it'd either be his third or fourth film, coming out the same year as his breakthrough film, Mean Streets.

It'd possibly be his first film with Robert De Niro (also in Mean Streets), and would absolutely be his first film with Al Pacino, who he never worked with until 2019's The Irishman.

If this was a real piece of lost media, you could absolutely see why film buffs would be so into it.

Officially, there are no eligibility requirements to be UK Prime Minister. Realistically, you need to be the leader of the majority party in Parliament, and a Member of Parliament.

So what's the eligibility requirements to be an MP?

Over 18; citizen of the UK, Commonwealth, or Ireland; not a police officer, soldier, civil servant, judge, or Member of the House of Lords; and not a member of a foreign legislature (excluding Commonwealth nations and Ireland), or the European Parliament, the Northern Irish Assembly, and Welsh Senedd.

Not even a residency requirement.

So if you fit those criteria, and the Tories keep losing Prime Ministers at this rate, look forward to your mandatory week as Prime Minister.

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.

My #1 post of 2022

According to the Irish Times, in the new Lord of Rings series on Amazon, the Hobbits are Irish charicatures and the Dwarfs are Scottish charicatures.

It also notes that the Men have Lancashire accents while the Elves are Upper Class British, commenting that "Somehow the Victorian caste system has been smuggled into a 21st-century American fantasy series."
