So Here Are Some Thoughts I've Had Regarding Ironwood Pre Volume 5.

So here are some thoughts I've had regarding Ironwood pre Volume 5.

First of all, I personally disagree when people defending him call him disabled; losing literally half of your body and needing robotic replacements is more akin to life support, in my own opinion.

Secondly - and this ties back to the above comment - I think it's probably safe to assume that Ironwood can't have children. Again, my guy is missing HALF of his body, in an almost complete vertical angle. That's gotta have consequences, not to mention probably leaves him occasionally envious of male characters who are fathers.

And third, I actually like the scene in Vol. 4 where Weiss walks in on Jacques and Ironwood's argument. Now while I do like your plans for Jacques, I also think people overlook Ironwood's offer to let Weiss enroll at Atlas Academy. I know people will probably paint it as him being arrogant or the like, but listening to his offer, it's clearly Ironwood giving Weiss an escape route from her father if she chooses to accept.

Sorry, I've just been thinking about Ironwood a lot, and I felt like sharing my musings with you.

My theory is he lost his arm and leg while half of his toros is encased in some kind of life support shell due to damaged tissue, its the only way it makes it plausible he survived with half of his body replaced with machine.

Now how much *ahem* 'down there' is damaged is up to determination, but it would explain his fraternal instinct towards his students and his envy. Personally Im not gonna do that to him in this AU, but like many in my AUs, he's had high hopes about his future, notably promising Glynda he would marry her back in their school days at Atlas Academy, but now he feels like that's in the way of "the greater good" as his higher ups love to lecture him and others about.

But yeah, I really like James and it boils my blood what they had done to him with no end.

Curious about that: how durable are the warriors?

Depending on the individual: are some aura stronger than others?

Is it like a force shield or super durable training?

It all boils down to several factors

Their physical training

Their spiritual training, especially religion and mental health

And their personality

RWBY Fandom: “*sneer* the changes you made in this AU, its not RWBY anymore! Change it up and make it an original story!”

Me: Fine. *tweaks the designs, change the names, and aesthetics…*

Fandom: “Ah! This story is thinly-veiled fan fiction and its characters, world, and ships are clearly influenced by RWBY’s world, characters, and ships you wanted among other things along with you being butthurt which is pathetic and sad cope!

You should disengage the source material, use something else which you 100% agree with, grow up, and ya know, you need to learn to be more original!"

Me: "Philip Pullman did it with the Chronicles of Narnia in "His Dark Materials Trilogy" and you also got Omniman and Homelander from Invincible and The Boys who are Evil Superman..."

Fandom: "Well they can do that with your stuff, but you can't do that with our stuff."

Me:

Very important video

Looking back to Narnia as inspiration for my AUs

And I love this couple so much, a humble cabby and his beautiful and cute wife, sweet and honest and Aslan is just like

“You know what’s important, your good people, you will be king and queen of Narnia…”

Aslan, who we know was Jesus Christ, Tge Son of God takes them out the hell-hole modern day London and puts them were their happy, where they can be what they are meant to be, what they want to be

That’s the good stuff, things are put in their proper places and all the pretentious convoluted suffocating reason and logic and all the other gibberish and jargon is booted out by Aslan and things are just set right

Honestly the best movie/romance trope
