inhales ok
THIS is a mega folder containing literally everything rwby-related that is available right now on roosterteeth (+v9). rwby, fairytales, world of remnant, the grimm campaign, ice queendom (sub and dub), vtubing, all the behind-the-scenes stuff. everything.
plus soundtracks for every volume + IQ, and drm-free epubs.
i will add any additional rwby content released during the wind down period as it becomes available. V1-8 have an english subtitle track embedded in the files, V9 does not because it came from CR. IQ dub has english subtitles. and for the sake of completeness i pulled all the non-english subs available on CR for V1-9 as well, those are in there as loose .ass files for the time being.
whenever possible, buy physical media. learn how to strip drm out of digital content that you own and make it a habit to do so.
archive responsibly 👍

If anyone thinks that a person cannot create art if they are "physically disabled", then may I recommend the well-deserved, oscar-winning movie of My Left Foot, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Christy Brown.
youtube
"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity

Why Sunset’s Turn Around In EG1 Makes Sense
When it comes to Sunset Shimmer, she’s easily regarded as the highlight of Equestria Girls and one of the G4 characters of MLP that had a good redemption in Rainbow Rocks and onward. Today however I want to talk about her “instant” turn around and “forgiveness” from the others.
A. Sunset’s Turn Around
In the last 10 minutes of Equestria Girls, Sunset got the crown, turned into a raging she-demon, tried to take over Equestria with her own teenage zombie army, and she got blasted by the Magic of Friendship and got turned back to normal and was instantly remorseful. Most people have said that Sunset has a bad reformation because she was blasted by the Elements and was instantly remorseful like the Elements mind controlled her into being remorseful…except the Elements or the Magic of Friendship doesn’t have the power to do that. If that were the case then any villain that got blasted with the Elements or the Magic of Friendship would instantly be reformed and ask for forgiveness. But the Elements only depower those with dark or negative magic with the exception of Discord.
Nightmare Moon: Luna as Nightmare Moon got blasted by the Elements and the magic stripped her of her dark powers but she willingly decided to accept Celestia’s friendship.
Discord: He got blasted by the Elements and got turned to stone and Discord made a genuine friendship with Fluttershy on his own choice (despite going backwards)
Sunset: She got blasted by the Elements and turned back to normal from her demon form and Twilight offered her a choice to accept friendship and she willingly accepted to learn about friendship and turn over a new leaf
Tirek: Got blasted by Rainbow Power and got depowered and was put back in Tartarus without changing his personality
The Dazzlings: They got blasted by the Elements/Magic of Friendship and they got depowered and just lived their lives in the human realm with their personalities changed.
Legion of Doom: They got blasted with the Magic of Friendship and they got depowered from Grogar’s magic and while Tirek and Cozy Glow were ready to surrender because they were outnumbered but Chrysalis flat out states that they’ll never change.
So, no the Elements don’t brainwash the target into being good it just takes away any upgraded dark power that they have minus Discord. So Sunset wasn’t brainwashed into instantly having a change of heart like the majority thinks she did. On the surface, I can see why people think that but when looking at this scene closer, there’s more to it.
1. Sunset’s Punishment (Physically)
I think out of all the defeats in Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls, Sunset’s was the most brutal. She got blasted by the Magic of Friendship, that blast slammed her into a crater, and left her not only scorching but she was battered, bruised, and her clothes were torn and her hair was a mess. Like, the Magic of Friendship kinda messed her up physically. Even the Humane 5 had shocked/worried expressions despite Sunset breaking apart their friendship (as in “I know she was a jerk, but we didn’t kill her did we”?).
So, physically she literally got the demon burned off of her and physically that was more punishment than the rest of the villains got with Luna/Nightmare at second. Discord got turned to stone, but his physical body was fine when he was released. The other villains were depowered and had slight headaches. So physically, she got punished enough to get scared straight.
2. Sunset’s Punishment (Mentally)
Now, the reason why she had her turn around was this. She got humiliated. Sunset believed that she could have greater power with the Element of Magic but her ambitious and selfish nature once getting the crown it turned her into a demon. She wanted to take over Equestria with her own teenage army but she got defeated with the true magic of the Element of Magic end she ended up cowering in front of the student body. The same student body that she spent years dividing. She used to look down on the students of Canterlot High and bully them, but now they’re all looking down at her disheveled state. A quote from the novel perfectly sums her reaction.
Sunset looked around at her fellow students. They stared down at her with disdain. She shrank back and hugged her knees, as vulnerable as ever.- Equestria Girls Through The Mirror Novel
She got rightfully humiliated in front of the whole student body that she used to torment. At that point in that scene, it was her by herself against everybody she wronged at that school united looking down at her. She was vulnerable and she broke down, admitting that she never learned the first thing about friendship and she just drove everyone apart.
Even in the comics, Celestia mentions the importance of friendship and personal relationships but Sunset shrugged that off and only thought of being the best and stuck with that. She dismissed the importance of friendship and humility and now years later in the human world once she’s at her lowest and most vulnerable, she admits that and genuinely wants to change for the better.
B. Sunset Being Forgiven/Celestia’s Punishments
Sunset technically wasn’t forgiven by anyone in the first movie, clearly shown in Rainbow Rocks. The students clearly didn’t forgive her, the Humane 5 were wary of her, and even Twilight who gave her a second chance was wary of her for a second in the sequel. Twilight gave her a choice on what Sunset could do with herself: either seek out friendship on her own accord or forever be alone. Rarity even notes how she would need an apology from Sunset and Twilight says that she has a feeling that Sunset will be giving out a lot of apologies. It was kinda left ambiguous and I can kinda see why. For one this was first movie and at the time, it was unknown if there was gonna be anymore movies, so Sunset oddly having this face-heel turn and being remorseful makes sense. I want to note one other thing which is the form of either Celestia issuing punishment.
For Princess Celestia, she already punished Sunset by removing her as her personal student but in the case of Equestria Girls…at worst Sunset stole the crown and went into the mirror but Equestria wasn’t really in danger and no one on that side was affected plus she had the crown for only 10 minutes over the span of about 3 days. Since only Sunset, Twilight, and Spike really know what happened I don’t think Celestia could charge her with anything…maybe community service or being banned from Canterlot or something…but Celestia wouldn’t be able to do anything.
For Principal Celestia, all her and Vice Principal Luna know from the event since (they were mind controlled but they do remember it) was that Sunset turned into a demon, got mind controlled, got freed, was there to see Sunset get humbled, and that’s it. They gave Sunset a punishment in fixing up the front of the school from the hole that she created alongside Snips and Snails, but if we’re talking about realistic human punishment they don’t really have any proof.
The hole in the school and crater couldn’t be traced to Sunset or the Mane 6 without evidence
The police would easily have a hard time believing that magic rainbow lasers were involved and they’d think Celestia was crazy
She along with the rest of the student body were mind controlled and the Mane 6, Sunset, Snips and Snails were busy for anyone to record
Celestia and Luna were there when Twilight was talking down Sunset Shimmer as well as everyone else and I’m highly certain Twilight talked to Celestia and Luna about it
Even before the demon thing, Sunset was smart enough to not have evidence stacked against her for her being a social bully so Celestia and Luna only have the students word’s at best
Celestia and Luna punished Sunset, Snips, and Snails by having them fix the front of the school and it’s implied that they had to fix the crater in front of the school
So while Sunset’s initial change was rushed, ultimately her overall journey into the better pony we know today helped her in the end and honestly became one of my overall favorite characters.

How do you feel about the use of AI as a tool for writers? Not to make the writing for us, of course, but to ask for prompts or "chat" about plot points where you're stuck.
Friends are nice. If you can find some human ones. That's how Terry Pratchett and I became friends. He'd call me up when he wanted to chat about plot points when he got stuck.

The Major Difference That Sets Sunset and Starlight Apart
Sunset Shimmer
Sunset Shimmer: But they aren’t minor! Magic came into this world when I stole Twilight’s crown. It’s taken a lot for me to earn everyone’s trust. If we have to forfeit the games because I can’t think of a way to keep it under control…
Sunset Shimmer: But it does. The students here at CHS don’t just wanna win. They wanna beat Crystal Prep. It isn’t gonna count if the other side doesn’t really think they lost. Crystal Prep is never gonna believe we won fair and square if there’s magic around. And that magic is only around… because of me.
Daydream Shimmer: Take my hand, Twilight. Let me show you there’s another way… just like someone once did for me.
Sunset Shimmer: I know. And going by my own experiences, they’ll forgive you.
Sunset Shimmer: Yes, last time I turned into something amazing, but I’ve let magic turn me into a monster, too. So if anyone understands what you’re going through, it’s me. I can help you, Twilight. And the rest of our friends can be there for you, too. But not if you run away.
Sunset has learned to let go of her past and leave it behind her to the point where she can help others such as Sci Twi and Wallflower by using it as connective way to reach out to someone and it’s her tone and how she says it in sincerity and we’ve seen her grow as a character to the point where she doesn’t look the the same character from Equestria Girls at all.
Not only that but that she’s integrated with all of the Mane Cast than just Princess Twilight, Twilight, and Spike,even in Embrace the Magic she’s seen helping the Mane 5 embrace their magic as well as telling them what they did wrong in Rainbow Rocks. I’m telling you, if you bring Sunset into the Mane Cast of FIM it wouldn’t be any different.
She’s truly taken Princess Twilight’s lessons to heart and has become a different pony/girl from when she first made her appearance in Equestria Girls.

As an Anglian, I'm hardly qualified to speak for Americans. But as a Christian, let me just remind everyone that Trump has blasphemed with a Bible in order to save face after calling for an insurrection and that Christians as a group are not a monolith.
The difference between us and secular people of the same political views, whatever they might be, is due to whatever our backgrounds - independent of the Bible - might be; there's always going to be a different aspect of Scripture that sticks out. I found God as a left-leaning Democratic Socialist. Ergo, I don't see Trump as capable of understanding what Christianity even asks of us. Whilst it's not me to judge anybody, Trump is the easiest target in the world to aim at from Christians because unless you're blinded by your own prejudices, you'll never see what kind of disgraceful, narcissistic bigotry he embodies.
Traditionalism/Conservatism is not as far removed from fascism as the "small c Conservatives" might have us believe. They ultimately depend on the imbecilic notion of "defending our traditions for the traditions' sake." This is why I'm not a traditionalist. I see it as a completely irrational philosophy to get so attached to this idea of isolating yourself from others who might have more in common with your day-to-day life than you might assume.
Who needs a jamboree when it's rooted in triumphalism and requires others' suffering to preserve? Not me, that's for sure.

Buffy: It doesn't have to be like this, y'know.
Faith: Actually, I think it has to be exactly like this.
