Keep it appropriate and in line with the rules. Preferably, the parent question should be in the form of a skit. e.g. Ruby and Nora drink 5 liters of coffee. This is a game where everything is made up and the points do not matter. Let's have some fun and GO!
The Spiderverse track is one of the few that’s up there with RWBY’s for me.
Pretty sure it was on ff.net, wanted to see if it had been updated since I last read it. Some key points I can remember:
*Jaune is buddies with the OC and the OC is a better student than all of Team RWBY because none of them ever improve
It was reasonably well written despite the meh ideas and poor handling of Team RWBY, if anyone recognizes it I'd appreciate the name
Person A touches Person B. B now thinks they are A, memories and personality, even though they are still physically B. This could spread further, making multiple people think they are A. I call it a Personality Plague or an Infectious Personality, something like that. What allusion would a character need in order for this semblance to fit?
I've always seen bitching and moaning about Arkos being an overdone pairing. While I agree it's a popular pairing, I'm not exactly seeing an abundance of Jaune x Pyrrah fanfiction.
If anything, Couer has filled the top five with the very, very much overdone Jaune x Blake ships.
Any good, decent length Jaune x Pyrrah fics please? The couple that I've seen personally seem to extend so far past the RWBY verse including all sorts of OC characters. I don't hate on it, it's just not what I want.
Thank you for your time folks!!
I’ve gotten into pin collecting more and was wondering if anyone In The fandom had any recommendations for RWBY pins?
I specifically just want a picture of just Ruby Rose to clarify ahead of time.
I came up with an Idea for an au back when I first watched a YouTube video discussing Vol.09, specifically about Jaune and Ruby Rose. The idea can be best summarized with the following question. "What if Ruby Rose was the first to fall into Wonderland instead of Jaune, and Lost her memories thanks to Neo Politan ambushing her?"
The outfit of this version of Ruby Rose was gonna be similar to the outfits she wore from Vol.04 to Vol.09, however a noticable difference would the "Androgynous Medieval Hunter" design as opposed to the usual design. Her Riding Hood Cloak would be replaced with a Maroon Short Hooded Cloak/Capelet that would be worn by Archers in medieval times. Her skirt would be replaced with Canvas Trousers, while her top and corset would be replaced by a tunic and bandages that would compress her chest. She would have lace up boots that could either go up to her knees or her thighs, I'll let you decide. She would wear a Leather mask to hide her face.
Finally since she would have lost Crescent Rose and wouldn't have recognized it if she did find it, she would instead utilize a Battle Axe and Bow Hybrid Weapon. I'm not sure what the name could be, thus I'll let you decide.
I understand if no one wants to draw this request or I can't ask for this, but I figured I could always ask.
So I might be like, way behind in my thought process, but summer could be alive right? The blacksmith said she met her right? Or am I remembering wrong? Anyway, she could have gone through something similar to what ruby did, but, obviously because the blacksmith had her axe, chose a different weapon and lose her memories? I’m probably wrong but still wanted to put my thought out there
So what should we call this ship, Reading Rainbow?
I tried to make weiss in gta it didn't work out
YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE RWBY VOLUMES ON FANDANGO AT HOME!!! They’re like set into a movie too, ofc you’d either have to rent or buy BUT all 9 volumes are on there! Idk if this was common knowledge but yay
INDIVIDUALLY REFERRING TO THEM AS LIGHT AND DARK FOR SIMPLICITY'S SAKE
I'll try to keep this short lest I get overly long and scare people off:
It starts with their role as characters. The Brothers are very much involved actors in Salem and Ozma's story, and the image of them as deities--as divine--is implicitly subverted by Salem herself. She recognizes their fallibility, which is juxtaposed with their callousness toward humanity (not going to distinguish faunus even when referring to modern Remnant because the distinction isn't relevant to the Brothers) as exemplified by their collective punishment of it. Speaking of which, they created the whole problem of Salem, and their solution was Light leaving Ozma to take care of their mess. Ozma had no way of knowing what he was really agreeing to, so while Light did not force it upon him neither did Light tell him what he was in for even though it was wholly within Light's power to do so. Light had the awareness to recognize that there ought to be a check on Salem but deigned to take responsibility for it despite being the reason one was needed in the first place. In other words, the Brothers are as heedless of their creation as Salem was of them.
Oscar's relationship with Ozpin underscores this. Oscar did not ask for, did not want, Ozpin to enter his head or to gradually lose himself as they gradually merge--a process accelerated by using Ozpin's magic even if only to protect those in front of him. Ozma did not want to change so deeply over millennia, did not want to lose himself to the fight against Salem, but not fighting would require sitting back and literally doing nothing, as opposed to his passivity in V1 to V3. Even though the Brothers are scarcely mentioned in V7 and V8, Oz and Salem serve as constant reminders of them.
This brings me to the Ever After. I won't spill any ink on the Ever After itself (suffice it to say that V9's emotional/narrative value outweighs any issues I have with the EA's inclusion as a plot device). Rather, my concern is with V9's themes as they relate to the Brothers. The key one being purpose--there are a lot of ways to frame this, but the core is that by leaving the door for the Brothers to return through, the Tree opens the door to reminding the Brothers of their purpose. Their response to Salem, and their use of Ozma, demonstrate that they lost sight of their purpose, similarly to the Herbalist. Only there's no Curious Cat to guide them.
TL;DR/Conclusion - The Ever After ties it all together.
P.S. I really like the way RWBY handles the Brothers. Fiction, especially fantasy, goes with "killing the gods" (literally or metaphorically) way too often, but RWBY has the interesting approach of never positioning the Brothers as divine in the first place. Techincally "gods" in the sense of having once been worshipped, but really just the creators of humanity, like how if humans created truly sentient, free-willed AI, we would be no more divine than we have ever been. So killing them in the metaphorical sense is redundant, and literally killing them would ruin the point of their origin in the Ever After.
Greetings, Huntsmen, Huntresses, and gender neutral Hunters! Welcome to another week of writing prompts! If you are new here, this is a community-driven weekly event, and the purpose is primarily to generate creativity and have fun while doing so (whether you are a 100% real-meat person or not, we don't judge).
##What will be involved:
Each week, three RWBY-related topics will be posted (subject to ties and special events!). Participants can write a short piece of fiction or dialogue based on that prompt. When writing, the suggestion is to aim for 1k-3k words, however, this is not a requirement. There is no goal - this is not a popularity contest - just write and have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)
##Rules (gore, NSFW, spoilers etc.)
The rules are the same as the sub's posting guidelines. Nobody here wants to see your story taken down, so please refer to them before contributing! If someone chooses to ignore these rules, the post will be removed.
##Additional information
Pre-writing is welcome!
/r/rwbyprompts is a sub with writing as a focus - there you will find an archive of all the threads as well as a somewhat fleshed-out wiki with odds and ends. :)
A detailed spreadsheet of WPW things is here! Keep in mind that this houses a lot of the old prompts, but it also has links and things like early participation to previous WPW threads. We're trying this whole week-to-week thing in the face of the bajillion prompts we had built up. Some will be cycled back in, but if they don't win the second time around, they'll get moved to the retired tab. I don't keep it up to date as often as I'd like, but if you want a refresh, just let me know down in the pinned comment and I'll find some time to true it up.
Find us on Discord at The Qrow's Nest! The permanent invite has been deleted due to Discord bot shenanigans, so dm shand if you want an invite!
Optional prompts that must be combined with one or more of the above:
Last week's poll is still open for voting!

New Year, new events! And now we have the quarter of spring leading into summer and the 4th of July FFA, I hope you all had a great holiday if you celebrated one!
I have managed to rescue /r/RWBYFanfiction from an untimely demise! If you would like to share your fanfic or make recommendations, head on over there! I know that I've said something special was coming for this, but Ruby on Rails is hard and not cheap to operate. The fanfiction indexer that I was trying to set up just isn't working and probably needs someone with more experience in RoR programming/design. I haven't completely put it to bed, but it might be a while before I can circle back to it. In the meantime, the fanfic sub has actually had a decent amount of postings - head on over and say hi! :)
No matter how bad things may get, words will always have meaning. Now get out there and write something, but most importantly, have fun! :)
Hope you enjoy what I have unleashed upon you all. https://archiveofourown.org/works/60530476%22%3E%3Cstrong%3ERubes:
