The new episode

JustyK

NOT EVEN TWO FUCKING MINUTES IN

AND I AM FURIOUS

What do these people have against Weiss that they constantly CONSTANTLY make her incompetent and in need of saving.

I didn't even notice that!

Ok, I checked it out again and... I admit I don't understand where that's coming from. Weiss did the same thing to Ruby earlier in the episode. :/

Totally differen though, Ruby almost NEVER gets the damsel in distress/incompetent fighter treatment. Weiss almost always DOES. Even in this episode she -barely- got any chance to shine, she gets hit in the freaking ankle(I think??) by a fireball and almost falls off the train when she was running on the train via her glyphs with no problem before that

In combat Weiss is ALWAYS the one to get the short end of the stick

considering the train was going to crash anyway there's really no reason for her to be damseled except for the hamfisted 'Ruby to the rescue' line. Like, gosh, how about she be shown to be a competent Huntress like she's -supposed- to and not get hit by random projectiles. Again.

Side note the song they used for the fight with the grim near the end of the ep was just ..awful. X.x The only thing I can say that's good is that the animation seems a LITTLE better? But the writing is still meh. And I blocked out a good 90% of the last season so I don't even remember why they're suddenly on a train anyway now

TLDR: You can count the number of times Weiss has been able to help someone else on ONE HAND, I'd bet.

Well if you're counting everything, I can see your point. But the way I saw it was that Ruby wasn't paying attention, Weiss saved her and said a snarky line. Then Weiss wasn't paying attention, Ruby saved her and said her snarky line back.

Yeah but when you count up the constant times Weiss gets mistreated, I don't have a great deal of confidence in the series, especially since it's not even TWO MINUTES IN. Maybe if Weiss was allowed to actually do al ittle more, but because they spread the fight over SO MANY PEOPLE, you don't really get to see anyone do much.

Unless they're the super mary sue special characters that is.

More importantly

WHERE'S WINTER.> BASTARDS!

I guess that's just the price to pay for being the best written character! D:

:I

so your theory is that they've been having Weiss act like a moron in fights because she's TOO good? o.-

Uh well first off Weiss isn't the only one guilty of that.

Cinder is the absolute biggest moron

That is very true, Cinder fell victim to the 'We have a bigger threat so you're no threat and you're going to be stupid' disease

But I was half-jokingly suggesting that Weiss is being brought down to the other fours level.

Other three

I'll go with that.

If Weiss didn't get put in damsel status who would Ruby be able to wescue~

Also if Winter does show up this season I'd be unreasonably happy, but I don't know what would circumstance would have to happen. :<

Yeah :/

Oh well.. I can still play her and make my own adventures!

It's just annoying that they constantly introduce new characters and then older characters get put in a closet and forgotten.

With blackjack! And hookers!

YEAH

wait what

WINTER

I'm just shocked

SHOCKED

We have hunters with fishing rod guns. They're hookers.

.............

i hate you. I'mg oing to bed. XD

dying

Rest well!

Night ^_^

pets Weiss Winter is too intomidating even when she doesn't say anything! SOBS quietly

A- Awwww. X);;;

XDD

SO, semi related but I am suspecting I went into the new RWBY episode expecting to hate it and expecting flaws and bs everywhere, and so I did, so my opinion from the previous evening may be biased. n.n I'm STILL not impressed by it, and Ruby basically preventing Ozpin/Oscar

from explaining why the Grimm are attracted to the artifact and why he didn't tell the rest of the group REALLY irks me, but whateves
For a "leader" of the group she's not really looking out for her team as you'd THINK that would be pretty important to know. XD

A lot of fans are like, "Ruby has matured and grown!" and...she really hasn't? She's gotten preachy at best, but anytime she has an opportunity to grow and mature they really gloss over it.

Oh, hello.

I'm rather curious to know why they think Ruby's grown. I would agree that she's not the same Ruby that she was in the first season.

Blake's arc is... Weird. I'd have to look at it again more closely but she's probably had the slowest development.

And Yang, I don't know what's going on with her.

I really want to like her but she's probably got the weirdest development IMO.

yeeeah. in that she hasn't really had any.

I mean ther ewas the emo moment when she lost her arm and that is totally unerstandable but now she has a fake arm and any development she might have had is pretty much moot. I personally think it would have been cool to see her learn how to fight as a one armed woman

Blake... hasn't really changed either.

Weiss and Ruby have had the most development of everyone, but Ruby is definitely not more mature

Becoming a one-armed fighter..... That would be pretty rad I have to admit.

sadly I don't think they're creative enough to think of fighting styles ike that.

You know now that you mention that, I can see the appeal of AUs.

I would play that.

But damn that'd be hard to write. X);

I'd probably just have to steal Oro's moveset from Street Fighter 3 or something.

Heeee s peaking of aus what canon point are we going for with Winter/Archer/Weiss thread?

I'm glad you asked that

Because I don't actually know what point would make the most sense. ;;

Well I was thinking the closest would be when she left the Schnee mansion in Volume 4 (or is it 5 x.x) either before she bitched out her dad and he said she wasn't going to inherit the Schee legacy, or she just slipped out before they even had that confrontation. n.n And seeing as we're doing the heirship thing it'd probably make more sense that Weiss

slipped out before then, and her dad might just be trying to find her to take her back home. a?

In which case it would be even more reason for Winter to give Archer to Weiss to sort of protect her from their dad. XD

If that makes sense to you and Dark that is

Ooooh, I do like the sound of that!

All right, yeah let's say she slipped out before said confrontation.

Or rather, I place my vote for that.

I'll send Dark a paste for his vote

Yeah, Justy gives his vote to the same. So we're headcanoning that Weiss escaped from the manor before she had the official falling out with her dad, Winter PROBABLY found out about it and decided to give Archer to Weiss for added protection. I mean she probably was gonna ANYWAY, but this was more reason to do it quickly Before their father found out

about it. >:3

Bueno! Er, hmn there's no thumbs up emote.

Close enough

....how and why?

<-- use this next time XDDD

cracks up

That'll do! Oh, wait. Whoops.

I had one after all

It's not a thumbs up but it's way closer than panties XDD

Sometimes things get lost in the shuffle, and things like that happen.

X)

XDD

Geez louise, what is this RP for Road Runners?!

I'm feeling so slow. T_T

LOL You knew what you were getting into buddy

Fun and excitement? What does that have to do with anything? >:/

XDDD have you gotten so accustomed to slow take-days-to-tag taggers you forgot what it's like to rp with boomerangs like us? :3

Yes. :/

Well buckle up and prepare yourself.

You gotta get back in the habit of boomeranging boyo! ;D

Yeah! TIME TO POWER UP!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

...baby steps my dude. ..

LOL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

I guess the lesson here is

Never ask about room arrangements during a storm.

ROTFL That's what I actually had in my tag LOL

I'm probably BSing Weiss' abilityu right now, but this is an AU so IDC

Okie doke

Btw I'm at work today. Booooo.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat, WHY

The weekend supervisor requested this weekend off. :<

BOOO, so you should request next weekend off :I

I wish!

The rest of this month is looking shaky for me unfortunately but that's just the way it is sometimes. I'm just glad it didn't interfere with my Con plans at least.

Boo

Jusssssssssstyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! JustyK JustyK JustyK I wish it tagged you three times for that but I don't think it does LOL

It did!

The hells going on over there??

Wait it did? oh snap LOL

Its your turn to tag darnit!

If this is about the sorbet and crocodile it wasn’t me. Oh.

ROTFL

I have.. questions now

But yes I know I’ll post after I get my Emp tags done. Which aren’t many left.

We should be priority! Shame! okie

.. I don't apologize for my tag

Oh dear. X)

spits drink

NOT. SORRY.

I did not see that coming and I threw that pitch! A+.

LOL

Yes, her name is pronounced 'Old Cow'

... Wow. What a tude last name.

XD

You're slacking buster!

Just END ME.

Who has two thumbs and gotta work this Thanksgiving? T_T

D: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

But yes, I apologize for slacking, I've been a very salty potato this week

Pfff, a salty potatoe ?

Yeah, an extremely annoyed potato.

patpats So are you boiled or fried?

Baked

XD

Put the weed down and walk away mah friend~

But I need it. Q_Q

NO. SLAPS it out of your hands

Also watched the last two eps of Rwby. The origins of Salem and Ozpin are actually really interesting storywise. o.o Also Cinder is giving me Zuko vibes with her look

I need to get myself caught up!

Oh, oops did I spoil that Cinder is alive ;

Nah, the promotional poster already spoiled that.

DOH

GG RWBY guys

I was hoping it wasn't her tbh but ah well.

What I really need right now is a coffee, but then I'll end up staying up all night. It's the real conundrum here!

I keep hoping theey'll 'kill' someone important off and make it fcking STICK but since Jaune's still around..

D:

There'd be some irony in the only healer getting killed off.

Hey he's been stupid from the first volume, he deserves to get killed off for it.

AND he's the worst character IN the series
