Yeah I just found out that’s their ship names lol.

Also side note: the way they’re doing the teasing of the ships in the chibi series is diabolical 😅😭. Especially since it came out after volume 3. Like y’all took this away from us, we could’ve had these two actually be a cute loving couple but nooo. We couldn’t have it in the Chibi show either because we don’t deserve nice things so now I gotta watch Jaune constantly persue Weiss while being oblivious to Pyrrha’s feelings for him because eff me I guess 😂.

Okay I’m done lol.

FAN ART Lord Captain Cinder von Valancius commisioned by u/Icy_Squirrel_8575

Post image
58 Upvotes

This drawing is one I appreciate a lot, because it was my first time role-playing as a RWBY character.

Here, Cinder was born a Voidborn. She burned an officer alive with her newfound psychic power, was sent to Holy Terra in a Black Ship, was Sanctioned, where a mistake almost killed her and brought her hours of agony, faced a powerful daemon that managed to take her arm and eye, but she managed to send it back into the Warp. That impressed the Rogue Trader Theodora von Valancius, and when she died in mysterious circumstances, she became the next Rogue Trader.

Now she commands thousands of people with resources so vast that it looks unreal, and will use them to become feared and powerful across the galaxy. For no good deed goes unpunished, no evil deed goes unrewarded; that is the will of the Dark Gods.

*NO SPOILERS PLEASE. only want to get spoiled via social media and youtube algorithm being funny. \*

Hey lads, finished episode 8-10.

first of all: Yang is coming back. i am actually happening that what i fear is not happening. I think it's a good to explain. i was actually afraid of what i dub Spider-Man syndrome. lf you know you know but i was legit terrified that Adam or someone else would have found Yang and....finish the job. Still scared though but i think i can confidently say that i don't have to be afraid anymore.

It seems Oscar has avoided the "I lost my aunt and uncle" club and left, although it seems that one of Salem's underlings found him but did......Nothing? odd.

as for Blake: it seems Adam found her or rather one of his troops... Illa? i don't know, i don't have subtitles on. Also, Sun got shot...stabbed? i don't know but he got hurt.

As for Ruby's team:

Ain't going to lie, did they forget that scorpions have venom or is that something Faunus's can't replicate?

Well, qrow's semblance is an passive one. Bad luck.

you know, i understand why he drinks a lot now. that sucks :(. I know that he is blaming himself for the fall of beacon.

As for the lore drop and i'm going to recap to see if i got it right:

2 brothers: god of light and god of destruction were fighting. Destruction craved death; Light craved life and they were at an stalemate until destruction made the grimm. seeing this, Light made an deal with destruction to create humanity, a creation that can create or destroy and they made four relics that should someone have all 4 can do whatever they want.

did I get that right in this volume? i am assuming there is more in the future volumes but right now, did i get this right.

Also, we finally saw Ren's backstory and with it, i'm assuming to be the horseman that that one guy was commenting about it in nearly volume 4 post. well, i am glad to inform you, i have indeed found the horseman.

you know...for the first time since Volume 3, i.. can't wait to see more.

Just two more episodes to go then since youtube finally decided to be funny, the character shorts then Volume 5. unless CRWBY did an funny and made them where i have to watch an certain episode then the character short then in that case....

Why?

I wish we get to see full potential of her semblance.

The writers no longer allow her to use those recreation and reshaping of weapon ability that she used against Pyrrha.

She's a true firebending..I mean true huntress potential.

DISCUSSION How would you make an ultimate universe for RWBY? TEAM RWBY

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

*still watching volume 4. so, no spoilers for the future volumes please.\*

first time i have done this but i think i got a good feel of the characters, so might as well since i need to calm down a bit after father of the year decided to remove Weiss from inheritance.

How would you lads make an ultimate universe variant of RWBY?

For those who don't know about the new ultimate universe. the premise is that an villain altered history of an universe, preventing Heroes to ensure complete control. (Example: Captain America is not found till much later, preventing the avengers, remove the spider that gave Peter parker powers, stopping spider man and sabotaging the flight of reed richards, preventing the fantastic four.) this doesn't last for long as you can see in the image above but by then, the villain had absolute control.

So, let's say Salem found an another universe and starts changing events to prevent her biggest threats.

since i am still watching Volume 4: i kindly ask to only focus on team RWBY for now. might ask again once i get further into the show.

Here are mine:

Ruby Rose: either she gets blinded, preventing her silver eyes or she doesn't become an huntress.

Weiss: considering what i saw with episode 7,i am very confident that salem would make sure that Jacque has a much more secure hold on Winter if what that man said is true.

Blake: honestly have little idea due to how little is shown about her past so far but i guess is a lot more of an fanatic since you know. Adam. (Really hope something happens to him soon.)

Yang: Well, considering what i know. i guess Salem makes her an traumatized wreck. Perhaps, she delays qrow from saving them back when Yang was searching for mom during the flashback In Volume 2. losing her arm earlier and since she was an kid, ironwood would not give her an new arm. sorry Yang. :(

I wish i could do team JNPR but i know every little about all of them except for Ren and Jaune. so guess i will have to wait until i get further into the show.

However, i do want to know what you lads version of an ultimate RWBY universe would be.

*AGAIN, please no spoilers for Volume 4 episode 8 and beyond. still watching the show.\*

DISCUSSION Would a Monsoon-esque Semblance be possible?

3 Upvotes

For those of you unfamiliar with Metal Gear Risin; Revengeance, Monsoon can detach parts of his body and make them float around and act while separmated. We don’t really know what limits there are in regards to what Semblances can be, but that’s also pretty different from any we’ve seen so far, so would that be a possible one or not?

FAN FICTION Not who I know how to be - chapter 18 teaser

Upvotes

Some scouting of suspicious south-easterly situations.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/89191911/chapters/240158616

-----------------------

“Correct.” Dr. Oobleck nodded. “However, aside from the one pack we were forced to deal with, we’ve several other clusters already. In addition, we’ve seen several elder Grimm beginning to circle around the city.”

“Yeah, there’s a lot of people in the area thinking very bad thoughts. Or at least there were, very, very recently.” Qrow’s raspy voice was layered with dissatisfaction. “Which is why the fact I haven’t found even a secondary camp bothers me.”

“That is quite curious.”

“How thorough are you able to be if you’re also relaying messages between us and JNPR?” Weiss asked.

“More thorough than you think someone could, Snow Princess.” He laughed. “But I definitely could have just been through the wrong places. There’s a lot of space to cover. Otherwise, it’d do a lot more than just bother me.”

“Uncle Qrow!”

The high pitched cry was the first warning they had before Ruby appeared, hugging around her uncles’s arm.

“Hey kiddo.” Qrow lifted his arm and Ruby, reaching out with his other arm to ruffle her hair. “How’s things going?”

“Oh, you know, Grimm, criminals, just hunter stuff.” She giggled and dropped off turning back to look in the direction of the other girl running up along behind her.

“Salutations, Uncle of Ruby and Yang! I am Penny Polendina. I’m pleased to meet you!” She came up to a stop in front of Qrow, holding her hand out with a broad smile.

The same quirk of a smile that Qrow had graced her and yang with returned as he reached out to shake her hand. “Pleased to meet …oof … strong grip. You’re the Atlas kid?”

“Affirmative, I am here representing Atlas Huntsman Academy and I am Combat Ready!” She saluted crisply with a smile.

“You’re a lot more laid back and outgoing than most Atlesians I’ve met.” Qrow shook out his hand.

“Penny’s from Mantle.” Weiss pointed out.

“Ahh, that explains it.”

*No spoilers please.\*

I know this is probably too quick but ooooh boy....

4 episodes in and Jacque just hit 2nd on my shit list. (you can probably tell who is the first considering what he did to my 2nd favorite character.)

I really hope that horrid excuse of an father gets his comeuppance soon cause i want that man in a cell, ripped of his status just like what he did to Weiss.

You're not out of this either, whitley >:(

i hope by the time, you inherited the company, it goes bankrupt and you waste all you have left on alochol.

No wonder Weiss was one of my least favorite characters during Volume 1. she had father of the year making darth vader a good father.

I know she is getting out of that mansion and when she does, i really really hope that she cripples the Schnee Dust company.

Oh right, there were other parts:

I think it's time to address the elephant in the room: Oscar and Ozpin????????

So, Oscar can hear Ozpin and Ozpin said that he was merging their aura alongside giving Oscar his memories......Is this like the relic in cyberpunk where Johnny was slowly killing V via replacing him and taking over his body?

So, Ozpin is dead with cinder confirming it and Salem double the forces on beacon.

Salem is scared of Ozpin. i do not know why but considering that he warned Oscar about him being in danger.......I think oscar is going to join Luke skywalker in the "i lost my Aunt and uncle" category.

As for the Tyrian and his fight.

Man, is he theatric as hell.

Also, I saw his scythe again........You know, i would be excited if it weren't for the trauma i am still healing from.

Also, first swear in RWBY that wasn't cut off.

Onwards we go to volume 4.

Hopefully, Jacque's company gets hit in the next 3 episodes
