[princess-of-the-corner]

One thing to note about RWBY is that it REALLY "grew the beard" over the course of its runtime.

Volumes 1-3 were animated in Poser (software that wasn't intended for use in animation), with rougher backgrounds and more simplistic writing related to complex themes. They were also only ever intended to be an extended prologue to the ACTUAL show, with the Big Twist of the Volume 3 finale being that the climax was actually just the inciting incident to the show's ACTUAL conflict.

Starting from Volume 4, the crew switched to Maya (software that's intended for use in animation), got better at writing more complex topics (the White Fang is treated more sympathetically than in the "Beacon Arc"), and Jaune was actually an interesting character for the entirety of the "Anima Arc" that lasted from Volumes 4-6.

Volume 7 is probably the best season of the show (I don't have a Crunchyroll account and so I haven't had the chance to watch Volume 9 in its entirety yet, even if I know what happens there). It deconstructs the whole "America Saves the World" trope with Atlas, and has some pretty good political satire that wound up being eerily prophetic. Also, Robyn Hill is one of the best characters the show has ever introduced.

Volume 8 contains both the best and worst moments of the series. V8C1-V8C11 features some of the best storytelling and most tense action from the franchise ever, but V8C12 has the overall message of "Okay but, the people who dehumanized Penny over her mechanical body KINDA had a point, let's fix what isn't broken!", V8C13 is a pretty descent villain episode, and V8C14 is by far the most offensive piece of media I've ever been subjected to. But still, up until those last three episodes, it was basically flawless.

I've heard Volume 9 is pretty good, but I'm side-eying everything involving Jaune because I honestly DESPISE the direction they took his arc in. But if we ignore EVERYTHING related to Jaune's role in the Volume, I like basically everything I've heard about it.

RWBY: After the Fall is a very good spin-off novel focused on popular side characters Team CFVY and shows what they've been up to since the Fall of Beacon in Volume 3. it also has a really interesting gimmick, as every other chapter is a flashback to something that happened in Team CFVY's past, further fleshing out their minor roles in the show.

RWBY: Before the Dawn is actual garbage. Sun's character arc (wherein his hypocrisy from the show is actually acknowledged and challenged) and Coco's and Velvet's shiptease are probably the only redeeming qualities. Taking this book into account actually makes Ironwood's reluctance to call Vacuo for help look REASONABLE. 2/10.

RWBY: Roman Holiday is a prequel novel focused on Roman and Neo, but Neo is the true protagonist here. The first few chapters leading up to their first meeting alternate between their perspectives, with the book being largely Neo focused after they finally meet.

RWBY: Fairy Tales of Remnant is an anthology of in-universe fairy tales. You can read it at any point in the series, but the further into the series you are when you read it, the more hints to RWBY's overarching plot you'll notice. While all of the Fairy Tales are works of fiction, some of them are dramatizations of actual events in the shadow war that RWBY's plot revolves around.

RWBY x JL: Super Heroes and Huntsmen is a 2-part film series wherein Team RWBY teams up with the Justice League. Part 1 features the Justice League visiting Remnant (kinda) during the events of Volume 7, and Part 2 features Team RWBY visiting DC Earth after the events of Volume 9.

There's also some ambiguously canonical comics published by DC, as well as 2 explicitly non-canon RWBY/DC crossover comic series. One features alternate versions of the Justice League cast who were born on Remnant, another features Remnant and DC Earth fusing due to Salem tricking Lex Luthor into helping her by playing off of his hatred of Superman. Neither of these crossovers are in continuity with the crossover movies.

Fascinating actually

So that was a good first episode, but just about every plotline is making me nervous including whatever might happen with these two DX I hope things don’t get too bad...haha...

Neopolitan appreciation post, she ain't happy with any of the shit being thrown at her.

"So that is how you see me? As an asset and nothing more?"

salem and ozma vs. ruby and penny parallels?? from a discord thing. post requested by @cosmokyrin​ :p

Locked away by her cruel father, Salem was a girl who desired but one thing: freedom. And yet, there she sat within her tower.

"I want to see what it's like in the rest of the world, and test myself in the Tournament." - Penny, V2E4 "General Ironwood says I don't have time for friends." - Penny V7E5

Unlike those who had come before, this warrior was not driven by the prize of the young maiden's hand. He fought only for righteousness,

"I'm to retrieve the power of the Winter Maiden so we can access the Relic." - Winter, V7E12

"Polendina's creation interfered with the transfer of the Winter Maiden power [...] That power will be mine." - Cinder, V8C1

"We're loyal to the people counting on us to save them!" - Ruby, V7E11

and his pure heart and courageous soul prevailed.

"I remember getting to know Ruby and thinking, 'This girl is the embodiment of 'purity'.'" - Blake, V5E5 "You gave us the courage to follow you." - Jaune (to Ruby), V4E10

They escaped the wretched fortress, and yet something bound them together.

Ozma had been ready to give his life for justice countless times, but now saw a woman worth saving it for. And Salem, to her surprise, found her freedom not in the outside world she had yearned for, 

but in the eyes of the man that had saved her.

--------

But that's where the stories unwind. Much like how Team RWBY parallel the Headmasters, this generation does better. Salem and Ruby pick up the weapons of their fallen-

and Salem never moves on, never tries to really uphold the ideals that took her out the Tower in the first place. She tries to force bringing back her lover, spinning lies to gods and kings alike. And despite the far greater Magic available to her, cannot force her own victory - for there is no victory in strength.

Ruby immediately moves on to protect Pyrrha. Goes home ... but makes the first move to continue the fight as team RNJR. Penny, when she is brought back, takes up the title of Protector of Mantle and spends her days as the last line of defence for the long mistreated population below. Learns about the ancient secrets of the Ozluminati in her own way on the other side of the world.

Despite moving on, they never forgot each other either - Ruby includes her when she powers her eyes and gives Oscar a pep talk. Penny tells her dad about Ruby and her team.

And when they meet again, long after their last tragic departure? They're not out looking each for each other or moping alone - it's their mutual desire to fight for others that brings them back together on a street that night.

And they'll overcome so much more for it.

V8C1!

The whole first scene is about Cinder. Okay...

Neo looking like 'BITCH You didn't take SHIT!' I really hope Neo kills her!

EMERALD LOOKED SO HAPPY! Poor baby... Also her new outfit looks amazing.

Splitting the party again. Here's hoping it ends well this time...

FUCK JAMES IRONWOOD GENTLY WITH A CHAINSAW! That feels good to say again. I thought I'd have to retire it after Adam

Winter and Harriet looking at each other like WTF!?!?

And that OP!!! Damn...

Anyway, Happy RWBY Season everyone!

V8 Tagging

As we get closer to the start of RWBY Volume 8, I just want to remind everyone that I will TRY to tag spoilers as much as possible. 

And you should as well.

My tags will be: RWBY V8, RWBY V8 Spoilers, RWBY Spoilers

I will also likely tag what episodes my spoilers come from. For example: RWBY V8C1 and/or RWBY V8E1 (I generally do both just to cover the bases.) But I may end up only doing that on my own posts that I make. Sometimes I get too excited and forget to do this though

Just a heads up!
