Drew some rwby ship kiddos today ! My favorite are Nyx and Elise !

a semi-response to twiins iink's new video.

this whole twiins iink video thing has got me kinda annoyed so i thought i’d ramble a bit about my thoughts on the situation. sorry if this post is not entirely… well-written, it’s 2AM here.

firstly, i want to address one of twiins’ comments.

“News flash: You being upset that Adam didn’t fit the headcannon you wanted for yourself insert isn’t an issue, especially since he’s been dead for 3 years. :)”

i don’t get twiins’ logic here, especially after viewing her ironwood video. the rhetoric used against ironwood and ironwood fans about how ironwood was always meant to be a (genocidal) dictator and always meant to be evil and abusive (to winter) is the same rhetoric used against adam and adam fans about how adam was always meant to be evil and abusive (to blake). this comment can apply to literally any character and any arc. it’s a moot point.

back during volume 6’s finale, i was mad at how adam was done dirty in the show. i didn’t self-insert to adam at all. hell, I’m a gay woman, exactly the opposite of what adam is. he was an interesting character to me but nothing he did appealed to me in a way that i’d feel i could project onto him. his behavior is a lot more fiery and reactive than i am. i didn’t (and still don’t) project onto him at all.

my anger at how adam was treated wasn’t based on any “projections” onto him. it was based on the fact that the dude who was showing all the signs of a killmonger-esque villain (doing the wrong things for the right reasons) got shafted into an abusive fedora-tipping incel and was killed between major volumes in a death only two characters got to see. adam could’ve been so nuanced, but he wasn’t. and that’s what most adam fans are upset at.

i won’t deny that adam has a subset of fans (or stans) who are cringey and project their revenge power fantasies onto him, but they are by no means a majority. there’s a bunch of adam fans who aren’t like that. if anything, those folks who projected onto adam are likely the people who have already dropped the show and stopped talking about it. the people who still stick around and discuss how badly adam was handled? those are the ones who cared about his character and presence in the show, and wanted more out of him.

furthermore, in regards to telling adam fans that their “headcanons of Adam don’t really matter because Adam’s been dead for three years”… i disagree with that. yes, he’s been dead for three years. and? people are still allowed to be mad at how he was handled. there is no statute of limitations for how long someone’s allowed to be mad at how a certain character (or characters were treated). folks are still mad at the GOT finale and how daenerys was written. folks are still mad at the voltron finale and how keith and lance and shiro were written. just because it’s been three years since adam died doesn’t mean folks aren’t allowed to be upset at his writing. it doesn’t mean that they’re just not allowed to talk about it anymore. that makes no sense to me.

i’m really sick of people on both sides of the RWBY fandom assuming that folks are only mad at certain aspects of the show because their headcanons didn’t come true. the RWBY stans do it, now the RWBY critics are doing it. and it’s getting obnoxious.

this video by twiins feels like a broad brush, branding all adam fans by-and-large the same. i’m not a fan of her rhetoric here.

again, sorry for any formatting errors.

thinkin bout reblogging a writing prompt post here… ik there’s only twelve of you but would anyone wanna see some rwby drabbles? i know my heart and soul is renora but i’m down to write basically any ship in rwby (including poly)
