My Complicated Relationship With Rwby.

My complicated relationship with Rwby.

Apologies Everyone no this is not the surprise I promise that's still in the works. Right now I just want to talk about something.

As all (except one and a half) of my followers know me for, it is the fact that I write Rwby fanfiction (very bad ones) and since I have somewhat of a miniscule foot step in my part of the fandom I just want to post this.

So to even begin my history with Rwby we need to start with something that had nothing to do with it at the start.

Death battle.

Yes. THAT death battle. The very same. And I'm pretty sure you all know where I'm going with this.

I got introduced to this series via death battle when they released Yang Xiao long versus Tifa Lockhart.

That's where I was first unknowingly introduced to Rwby. And oh boy did I forget about that series in a matter of moments. After watching that fight the only thing I was focusing on was how cool yang looked as she fucking washed tifa.

Was it rigged? Yes. Fuck yes! But I still loved the fight.

And then I watched Weiss versus Mitsuru. And yeah I also forgot about rwby after that.. for a bit. Eventually I discovered the series again on YouTube and began watching from episode 1.

Immediately the introduction caught me off guard. The story book-esc intro caught my attention and I found it... Decent. I was hoping the series would stick to this story book kinda feel but also mix in some bits and pieces of 3d.

And now to address the elephant in the room. Yes, by the time I began watching rwby there was already heavy criticism. I did watch some videos but not all of them. I didn't want my view to have a bias.

And I'll be honest, I liked the first three volumes. Including volume 4. (Yes I know the volume was absolute fucking garbage but I still liked that it slowed to have our characters get a focus)

Now i want to address something. At this point in time I was not a huge shipper it just seemed bizarre. But I did, and still do like a lot of ships. But sadly none of them are team rwby ships.

What can I say at that point I wasn't very open minded. I didn't hate the ships I just didn't get it, yet I still enjoyed the volumes despite that and I'll be honest me at that point leaned towards dragonslayer.

Ah yes the rookie Knight meets the mighty blond bombshell. My (still) two favorite characters in a ship I would have liked. Also... Fuck arkos 🖕 (I'm kidding I just didn't care for pyrrha as a character, I just fuckin couldn't. She's not bad just wish she was written better)

But of course this is a complicated relationship for the series. And now we are at my least favorite part. I did not care for volume five and all in all I just stopped caring. I stopped caring about the Rwby series because well one. sadly most of the fandom was either toxic as hell or ship based. 2. A lot of the criticism from the videos I watched made me realize this show was pretty bad. (No matter how much I liked it)

And eventually I put this series to rest. I stopped watching rwby, but it always lived in the back of my head, the vibrancy of the first three volumes, the shock of Pyrrha and Penny's death. The idea of hunting monsters.

That led me to creating beast slayer. In a sense my "first born child" and oh boy was it edgy. It still is but at that point I was in a bad spot. I am still dealing with my own self-esteem and self-hatred. But at that point during the pandemic... I was done. I was done with everything. And so I began making more promotional pictures because I didn't write at that point.

Eventually that led me to meeting my ex who I will always be glad I met (they were quite literally one of the things dragging me away from the depression of the pandemic)

But this is about Rwby. And I'll say it here so you all can quote when I'm old and grey. Rwby will always be an inspiration for my work no matter how crumby, incompetent, and outright cruel, rooster teeth is. No matter how bad the story decisions are (like the non-existent build up to bumblb.). No matter how terrible the fandom is. This series will always be in the back of my mind and telling me "just go for it". As dumb as it sounds (and even out right cheesy it is) its true.

But regardless back onto the timeline of events. At this point in time I had completely forgotten about Rwby, only occasionally hearing about it and then j saw a YouTube short showing... A group of sprites modeled after... Team rwby..

That's right ladies we are talking about my favorite fighting game!

BLAZBLUE: CROSS TAG BATTLE

I had no idea this game existed until eventually I was searching on the Xbox game store and found it and I'll have an entire different thing on how it got me into persona but right now, point is.

I loved this game. Every minute I spent playing it was another minute I would have an idea for a combo or interaction. And well it also got me back into Ruby. Once again I started seeing rwby pop up more and more on YouTube and sadly that was also after rwby got removed from YouTube. (First off fuck you rooster teeth, second off eat my dick, drink my fresh piss, and lick my heavy as fuck balls!)

But eventually after that that was also when I got on Tumblr (and it wasn't even for rwby, not even inscryption when I used to make shit for it. I entered Tumblr, because I was a fan of bugsnax. Strange how one thing leads to another huh?)

And so here I am talking to all of you. You who follow me or you who just so happen to this because I'm tagging this as rwby.

So what do I have to say about the series and what ships do I like even tho I've said it 100 times.

To answer the first one.. I.. I love this series still. It will always live in my mind and I will always remember the potential the series had. And I'm mad about it.

I'm mad this series has basically made me it's bitch and yet I still keep coming back because a strive to enjoy the series. That's one of the reasons why I'm doing the Rwby rewrite or also called "rwby: fate".

I'm mad that no matter how much I love this series it'll never get better because one the company Is horrible and two the writers are incompetent. Yet here I am standing here typing this out for everyone to read and I still want this series to have an ending but also not wanting to fund a horrible pathetic company. I'm at a cross roads because one half is telling me "they'll fail like the last 6 volumes" while the other half is screaming praying that this series gets on ending because it wants to see the thing that inspired have a worthwhile ending.

But that's everything. That's everything when it comes to how I feel about Rwby. In this long ass, stupid ass, mustard stain on your shirt having, ugly bitch making, rant son of a bitch.

Well obviously except one.

Drum roll please.

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Thank you-

🥁🥁🥁

Regardless my favorite ship is always gonna be-

Whiteknight. Yeah Im just a sucker for it. That's all.

Now get off my back

It's a kitty. (Plus haha yatas a crow haha)

If not friend

Why friend shaped?

You cannot tell me bears aren't friend shaped!

Why is it so silly?! Why is it cute!? Why won't we just make friends with bears, not domesticate them just befriend them!

Then again... That is impossible

This is just.... wow... holy shit @randomness-of-arts1220 this is just Shit-

I'm kidding! This is just incredible. They actually look like characters and not boring stick figures (god. I wish I could draw but sadly not.)

But in all honesty thank you.

Also if any of you like transformers head cannons and art then just go on ahead and check @randomness-of-arts1220 outs because good god is this just... wow!

History must never be erased.

So to ensure its immortality.

Mankind will defend its legacy.

Law and order: special victims (featuring jaune arc!)

(this is joke for fun because duh. Please do not take this as my actual view of jaune or any character I might have pop up)

[DUH DUN]

We see nothing but darkness before jaune popped up out of nowhere as he wore a nice white suit.he adjusted his tie as he cleared his throat.

Jaune: hello there! I'm jaune arc professional lawyer for victims of "losing rights to their ass cheeks". Why am I in this position because I was victim aswell. You see for those who don't understand I am a part of a sub species of human called "submissiveus manass". My subspecies are men who don't mind either taking it from behind or just simply being beneath our significant others. But "ass" all species do. We have ourselves a predator. "Femalius fatalis" are a sub species of women who manage to pin men like me and get in our heads into essentially worshipping them and becoming a man wife. This is commonly shown by either the woman being more passively dominant in the less severe cases. Or grabbing their significant others ass cheeks and squeezing them. Now I'm here to tell you, you can finally take back your poor ass cheeks because now with the new constitution-

Ren: uh jaune... we have a bit of a problem?

Jaune: what's wrong Ren?

Pounding on a door is heard as jaunes face. Went. FUCKING. PALE.

Jaune: Ren we gotta hi-

The door busts open revealing-
