RWBY Thread III: Time To Say Goodbye

Stop: So gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
so gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
We get a lot of reports from this thread. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc.

That's fine. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. We want it to stop happening in this thread.

So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others.

In addition, users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

Anyone has any good RWBY fanfics that can be read which don't have any emphasis on pairings?

I just recently found a good one -finally, do you know how hard it was- in 'A common criminal or something'.

Other fics?

*I already read The Games We Play*
*All of it*
*Plus the Omakes*
*Yes. I did it all in two days.*
*I have no need for mortal's 'Sleep'*
 
Actually, Blake's top always exposed a bit of stomach. This is just... exaggerated. As for Weiss, that just looks like a wind is blowing her jacket back.
Hmm yeah you are right about Blake, there is a little if I recall, though for Weiss its actually that the dress looks... too low I guess, I don't know it just looks slightly off.

There's a fic rec section where this question might be better directed. I'll also see if I can dig up my recommendation list.

A World of Bloody Evolution is a good one. It's Yang in the 40k universe, and it's done surprisingly well.

We do have a rec thread. I'd link it if I wasn't on a mobile. There's also a Fic in my sig that I think is pretty good, and desperately needs more readers. please read it! I need more readers!

And TV Tropes has a FanWorks index and Fanfic Recs for RWBY as well.

Has anyone posted this yet?


Nope, that's news to me. Sweet, delicious news. :D

I'd been wondering how the official dub was doing. Glad to hear they're making progress.

That one unofficial dub group was doing pretty well themselves.

I really liked their VAs, but they stopped, since the JP dub became official.
This side thing they did was pretty funny though.

Huh, maybe it just because I don't actually speak the language, and so can't pick out where it sounds unnatural, but the Japanese VAs sound better to me.
 
Well if by Bad Touch you mean Fire, then yes, she bad touched Roman's face. :D

That makes me think, didn't the RT staff confirmed that they have a VA for Neo, and thus that she's not mute? Because if that's the case, her Japanese VA will obviously be Yukari Tamura, who voiced Nui Harime. Come on, with Neo's likeness to Nui, it practically write itself!
 
I dropped RWBY awhile ago at around... episode 12 or something? But with JP subs, I'll probably give it another shot since the voice acting will be less glaring. Plus I won't be waiting a week for 5 minutes since a bunch of episodes are already out.

I really hope Ami gives Yang that same delinquent voice as Ryuuko because it sounds fucking badass and sexy to boot.

They aren't that bad for what's for all intent and purpose a bunch of amateurs voice actors.

I'm pretty sure she was chosen specifically because of her performance as Ryuko, Yang is pretty much a big boobed and flirtatious blond version of Ryuko! :D
 
lirtatious blond version of Ryuko!
Barring checking out some background character on the first night when has Yang really been flirtatious? Not that I'm necessarily against the characterization just curious.

Maybe better parents.
Well Yang's mum abandoned her rather than inflict herself upon her daughter (I assume she had a good reason for doing so somehow connected to who she was or what she had done) so that puts her a step above Ragyo.
 
With, uh...

Maybe better parents.

Probably.

It's hard to get worse than her mother, and her father wasn't exactly Father Of The Year either.

Well, if you count Summer Rose (and I do), then she definitely has better parents: fiction has always taught me that the very best parents are usually the ones who are dead before the story begins.

Well to be fair, it's nigh impossible to have a worst mother than Ragyo (hell even Gendo Ikari was a better father, at least in the original series), but baring Raven abandoning her family (since we still don't have her reasons) she had pretty good parents.

There's also her attitude in fight, for example when she flirted with Junior in her trailer (to make him drop his guard), or when she winked at a White Fang mook in slow-mo before smashing him from the train roof in Season 2.
Yang knows that she has an alluring figure, and sometimes plays with it, Ryuko on the other hand is very non-nonsense when she fight and just smash her foes while wearing a scowl.

While I concede the Junior point, I don't think winking is innately flirtatious, especially given the circumstances it was applied in and the speed at which it all happened.
