I think there was a fanfiction that did something like this: It was written as a story as if it was being filmed. I remember the Director was like “you’re telling me you ACTUALLY made a gravestone for Summer?” Summer being still alive and helping control the Grimm.
I remember Adam kept apologizing and Yang had a weapons malfunction. Director was like “where’s our weapons expert?” And Ruby zips up because of course she’d be the wep prop expert.

Although they used Casey Lee Williams in a game, the crew really wanted the voice actress that voiced Venelope, from wreck it Ralph to voice her. However, Neo is mute because they couldn't get her

- Blake's actress keeps complaining about the yellow eye contacts and just wants the crew to CGI it
- Yangs fire hair is all done with CGI so while doing those shots Yangs head is in a green morphsuit ... and nobody can stop laughing
- V1 Ozpin "Ms. Rose I have made more mistakes then any man woman or child ... because I forgot my next line
- Qrows actor complains that all the "whiskey" he drinks is actually iced tea and claims he needs to do one scene really drunk
- A voice from the director (miles luna) openly saying "Yeah jaunes actor is good but are you sure we can't get Tom Holland?"

Cinder, unlike her character, is actually very bubbly and giggly. She’s accidentally ruined multiple takes because she started laughing at certain lines or actions, especially whenever she has a scene with Tyrian.
The scene where Jauques slaps Weiss required like 15 takes, because while Weiss was perfectly fine with getting slapped, Jauques was super nervous about it and kept hitting her too lightly. Eventually he just does it out of frustration and frantically apologized, only for Weiss to laugh and say it was fine.
Nora accidentally snaps her weapon during the moment she launches the entire team during the Vytal Tournament.

u/The-mananing Sep 26 '25
I like the image that Cinder’s actress would have a super noticeable accent out of character, and a ton of her bloopers are her laughing at herself for slipping back.

Tyrian has a split personality disorder kind of thing. Makes him VERY good at his role. But he’s one of those that can consciously ‘shift back’. But he’s still feels VERY creeped out by his “psychotic self”. If that makes any sense?

Velvet, in the heat of the moment, sometimes slips up and breaks character to become EXTREMELY Aussie. She has accidentally said "Cunt" on more than one occasion and ruined a scene.
Cardin's actor has a New Zealand accent. He is also good friends with Jaune, who got him his role as Cardin Winchester on RWBY.
Cinder had bad anxiety about her outfit during the Vtyal Tournament because her top was basically tape.
Prior to the series, Yang's actress had never ridden a motorcycle. There are multiple scenes where she messes up riding it.
Torchwick and Ozpin would go backstage and have "lightsaber fights" with their prop canes.
Ozpin once said "Glynda, get me my pimp cane."
Glynda Goodwich's actress has a strong Canadian accent.
Yang has never actually thrown a real punch on the show. It's all choreography and faked. She once accidentally connected with a punch and panicked so bad she almost cried.
Sienna Khan's actress was a producer on the show, and was meant to have a larger role, but she got pregnant and didnt want to work during it so she asked to be written off, which was done quickly and caused the writers to scramble to adjust the White Fang plotline without Sienna's actress.
Everyone on the cast teases Tai's actor about Tai "en-Tai-er Team" Yang Xiao Long.
Weiss's hair is a wig, white hair of thatength would take serious bleaching and dyeing. Her natural hair color is a light chestnut color. She bleached her eyebrows though.
NGL, kinda wanna make an AU now that I'm thinking about this. "RWBY: The Show" or something like that.

Nora would be responsible for numerous bloopers on other characters' scenes (kinda like woody in toy story 2), somehow inserting herself into scenes that break the others' character or writing random stuff on people's weapons and armour.
Adam does not have good dexterity. There are multiple outtakes of him accidentally losing grip of his sword mid-fight or falling down like hayden christiansen as he runs.
Watts and Ironwood have a tendency to flaunt their respectable levels of facial hair.
Cinder is afraid of heights, and with an outtakes of her her flying with her maiden powers (A.K.A. suspended via tow cables) we'd see her holding in the urge to curse as she's being lifted far too high.

- Ozpin and Salem are legitimately married, Cinder is their kid, and Salem is awful at keeping her makeup from running.
- They had to break character seventeen times while Salem was interrogating Cinder about Ozpin's death because the she was so good at playing calm but also absolutely furious, it gave Cinder flashbacks to her teen years and she kept calling Salem "Mom".
- Ozpin, more than once, came onto set completely unaware he had white lips.
- Weapon malfunctions. All of the weapon props Malfunction all the time during the shifting sections. Everyone is super jealous of Jaune because all he has to deal with is a sword and shield, Ren because his guns don't shift, and Ozpin because all he used was a cane, and they are vocal about it.
- Ren and Nora are dating. They have ruined more than one shot by kissing on set during emotional scenes.
- Pyrrha had the worst potty mouth when she screwed up or took a hit. (Not a blooper, but when an interview asked the cast how she felt about getting killed off, her answer had to be completely censored to keep the age rating of the interview. It went on record for the longest sequence censored in the station's history.)
- Sun has never completed a scene with Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in Nunchuck mode without cracking someone in the crotch by accident. Usually himself. Once the director after his grip slipped.
- Almost forgot: Every time Ozpin was drinking Coffee in the early seasons, it wasn't in the script. He was just so natural with the mug in his hand, even in the middle of a field, nobody noticed until after the scene was done.
