I Love Writing For RWBY.

I love writing for RWBY.

I love writing for a cast, knowing that for each character, someone out there absolutely loves their guts and sees an entire life behind their words and actions.

I could find Raven a baffling and opaque character, only to find someone point out a thread through her seemingly contradictory actions and weave a tale of a mother torn from within, forced to walk away from a war and give up a life she may or may not have wanted - if only she had stayed long enough to know for sure - but whose stony heart is betrayed by a Semblance that always brings her to those dearest to her, to always be there when they most need her.

I could hate or be indifferent to Cardin, only to come across someone retelling a story of how he could go through an arc of rare introspection and guilt over his past actions, and amend that in little scenes throughout the series. To explore an avenue left untreaded, to treat a throwaway bully as more than a plot device and actually force him to grow when the story and most of the fanbase were content to leave him stunted and forgotten. Even if the writer's intention was as pragmatic as "I'm sticking closely to canon and I refuse to remove Cardin on principle, so I'm gonna make him work", that was still someone who treated the importance of a character and their place within a living world far more than RWBY ever did.

I love how I can end up respecting and even loving characters I never cared for just minutes before, just because of another fan igniting the Eureka moment in another fan's head. Every character is like a world unto themselves, because every fan who writes about them paints them with their own eyes and experiences.

This is why, if you ask me, RWBY would be nowhere, nowhere today without its fans. The show gives the seeds, haphazardly strewn onto a barren field with no regard or rationale, and the fans find a way to make them bloom.

RWBY gives us characters; but its fans turn them into people.

I'm sold on your alternative color palette, a friend of mine pointed out Black and Gold/Yellow is a proved color scheme

"If Yang wore more yellow and less brown, she'd look like an indistinguishable blob!"

Here have a shitty color edit of the V5 outfit

now idk about anyone else, but if you asked me which of the above characters is supposed to be 'Yellow' and which one is "an indistinguishable blob," I should think the answer would be obvious

but maybe that's just me

Aww so adorable ♡

Black Butler II Actor AU headcanons about Claude, Angela, and Ash because I’m bored

-Claude Faustus is no butler, literally lacks the patience, he’s just a good actor.

-Claude is also a city boy, from London, and he owns a motorcycle as his old man was a biker and auto shop owner, and he learned some mechanic skills from him, the dancing actually came later when he auditioned for the role

-Had a fling with Hannah, but given her personality offset, it’s not hard to imagine why it didn’t work out.

-Claude had a huge crush on Angela Blanc, but he became a shy mess every time he tried to talk to her

-Which Alois Trancy decides to appoint himself as a wingman and said “Claude thinks your hot and wants to take you out to lunch.” Claude got flustered much to Angela’s amusement but agreed, and they really hit it off.

-But oh boy her brother Ash was protective of her, Claude got a few death glares and passive aggressive comments from him before Angela argued with him and Sebastian straightened it out

-Ash and Angela are twins who come from a family of farmers, the experience with physical labor helped with being stunt doubles and action directors

-This also explains Ash’s initial disapproval of Claude, seeing him as some showboating city boy, however Claude helped with Ash’s car when it broke down and the latter is now warming up to the former

-Claude’s favorite past time with Angela watching movies, cuddles, and giving her tickles.

-Although the ankle kiss Ciel scene and other creepy scenes like the teeth brushing was fake(they used a prop leg and a dummy in some shots) Claude felt disgusted with himself, in his trailer Angela decided to help him ‘redeem’ himself by playfully offering her leg(up to the shin) saying it was sore from work and asking him to ‘kiss it better’. Claude peppered her shin with kisses earning soft and sweet giggles from her. He felt better afterwards.

Idk I just think the Offset Claude and Angela from the OVA would be cute, might make a little fanfic piece of it one day idk.
