Jaune: So, anyway, if you hit up-up, down-down, left-right, circle-

Cardin: Hey, Jaune, your dick's the size of a tic-tac!

Oscar: Well, yeah, that's why your mom's breath smells so good.

Cardin & Jaune:

Oscar: (to Nora) Did I say it right?

Nora: You said it perfectly, Champ. Let's go get some ice cream.

The funny thing about the RWBY fandom is that half the ships are created for the cool names

Did you know there are exactly 2 fics on AO3 with the tag Yang/Coco? and yet Hot Chocolate is such a cool name

I think at some point it stops being about the dynamic between the characters and more about how aesthetically appealing it can be to work two character's traits into a ship name

I had to.

Do you think post volume 9 bees ever forget they're actually an item now and can say it out loud? Crazy, I know…

Okay, now that everybody's had some time to process and gotten some of the doomposting out, here's my thoughts on the whole situation.

First of all, I'm not really worried about whether or not RWBY will continue in some capacity. It's uncertain, sure, but no more than it was already. In February we got the update that they were talking to potential partners about getting volume 10 made, so clearly they weren't just relying on Rooster Teeth and Warner Brothers for it - maybe one of those companies will pick it up, maybe a different company will, either way I'm sure it *will* be picked up by somebody and unless they get real unlucky, the show won't be much worse off than it was before - if anything it might be better off, considering that WB have been shitty about animation for quite a while now (if you're not already familiar and you're up for some extra research, I recommend looking into the Coyote vs ACME situation that's been going on recently for a great example of WB's bullshit). And while it's unclear exactly how much involvement the original crew will have in the show's future, I'm pretty optimistic about it. I doubt the writers are going to let go of creative control without a fight, if for nothing else then for Monty - I don't like focusing too much on the whole Monty's Legacy stuff in general, but I do think that the crew are going to want to keep their friend's work alive and authentic and as accurate to what he wanted it to be as possible. None of this is a certainty of course, but I think RWBY is gonna be fine, things will just be kinda rocky for a bit.

With all that being said, while this may end up ultimately being a blessing in disguise for RWBY as a franchise, it sure ain't one for everybody who worked at Rooster Teeth. This entire situation is still horrible - so many people being fired on the spot, effective immediately, with no warning and with several of them only finding out by seeing articles about it being posted on Twitter, it's fucked. I know Rooster Teeth wasn't exactly lacking in controversy and problematic behaviour, to put it lightly, but there were still plenty of amazing people there who are now in a really shitty situation. On top of that, while again this isn't exactly anything new, especially for WB, it is the latest instance of a huge problem in the animation and entertainment industries. So no matter how things pan out for RWBY, we should still be really fucking mad about this.

And we definitely shouldn't be celebrating. I've seen some posts saying "good riddance" and celebrating RT's downfall, not just from people who hate RWBY (I mean don't get me wrong I'm sure the hatedom is out in full force but that's not the kind of thing I'm referring to right now), but people who like/used to like the show and just hated the company. And don't get me wrong, I didn't like a lot of things about the company either, I've actually been wanting RWBY to separate itself from RT for a pretty long time (be careful what you wish for I guess 💀), but there's a time and a place and this certainly ain't it. Plenty of people who have worked there have said that they loved their jobs, plenty of others said it was horrible and toxic and nightmarish, but either way a job is a job and in this industry work isn't always easy to find, especially in recent years. Celebrate in private if you want, but now is not the damn time to be bringing out the cake and confetti.

TLDR; I'm cautiously optimistic about RWBY's future, I'm pretty sure it'll be fine and they'll be able to keep the core crew to at least some extent, but this is still a really bad situation for everybody who just lost their jobs, don't be a dick.

happy beautiful one month to rosebird’s onscreen divorce ❤️

Friendly reminder that Weiss Schnee is a girl kisser. She likes to kiss girls and go on dates with girls and she wants to have a girlfriend. She does NOT want to kiss boys. She thinks every girl is so pretty and she wants to kiss them all on the lips. I know this because she literally told me herself. Happy pride month. Love wins

I met a wonderful Ruby cosplayer at WeebCon and got to recreate this incredible art by scnomens on Twitter!
