>>5088 >88 Indeed

>>5086 >V1 Bluray listed By the time of next thread, they will probably have RWBY up on Hulu, since I assumed that what we saw earlier was an accidental leak. What I am kind of curious about is what parts of RWBY will be excluded like the JL movies now.

>>5090 I hope everything post V3 is excluded.

New bread found

If they genderswapped rwby characters which one would be the most hated and why is it Blake? >Abandoned his mentor causing her to go insane >Left Yin to fend for himself after he lost his arm to Eve >Slaps Sunny >Convinces Thor to break up with Rin so he could "find himself"

>>5093 It'd be a tie between Blake and Weiss, with Weiss being an ultra simp chasing after a ho. Ruby just turns into Judai from Yugioh GX, too autistic to fuck but will still get bitches, and will be based

>>5093 >>5094 Jaune would become Joan and would be hated for being the "useless clumpy girl" while also being a waifu people would love like Asia Argento

>>5095 People love failgirls though Jaune would be beloved

>>5095 >Jaune would become Joan and would be hated >hated I don't think so. Jaune's backstory attached to a girl would probably be seen with lots of sympathy because at that point Joan is in the same position as Ruby but a fraud on top of that. She'd be the underdog character that just also happens to have lots and lots of key waifu traits

>>5096 >>5097 You forget what audience Roosterteeth has, they were such rabid lesbian forces they made Blake and Yang a canon couple. They would hate Joan for being a useless maiden to be saved but would come around a little once she started training and being useful

>>5095 Disagree, Jeanne would be an even more beloved character that makes people become more outspoken about making team JNPR the main characters

>>5098 They would assume she and Li Ren were secret lesbian lovers even though Joan would have pursued Schwartz and kissed Pyrrhus. She would be popular just because she is too moe. Look at this.

>>5099 This JNPR and then RNJR would quickly overshadow RWBY again as the better teams with more compelling characters

Jess spinning. >V1 Blu-Ray Volume 2 will be released on July 29th while Volume 3 is looking at August 26th.

>>5095 Obligatory

>>5103 Female Jaune would be ridiculously close to how Penny is seen and viewed. And despite Penny being a strong character, let's be honest - would she even be that different from how Joan is speculated to be here? Eats up a lot of screentime, check. The main opposer to Whiterose (in two ways rather than one now), check. Failgirl (because Penny dies TWICE and rarely does she get a significant W, the only one I can even recall is vs Cinder in V8). Penny is just an example of Jaune being done this way, just with a different twist to her.

>>5103 Insane ragebait

>>5105 gleamingonyx is just THAT retarded

>>5104 Female Jaune would most likely have dedicated fans and very little serious haters like Penny is now. Literally the only reason Jaune gets hate is because he's a straight man with story focus in a female character-centric show. >>5105 >>5106 He's a Reddit mod for the critic subreddit for a reason. Of course his opinions are retarded.

>>5103 Ah yes a typical Jaune hater cringe post.

New thread found! Heading to get groceries and then to cook dinner. Have a good one fellas >>5103 It's strange how that dude is chill at one minute, then goes into this at will. He's probably got as much going on in his head about Jaune as I do about faunus and all related. Except where I want to get it right, he just wants to get rid of Jaune completely. I can't hate the tutorial character like that. >>5093 You get across the same picture I do, just with far less fidelity. I don't know why you leave so many answers open-ended

>>5116 >You get across the same picture I do, just with far less fidelity. I don't know why you leave so many answers open-ended My agenda demands this of me for I am the weakest Blake hater.

Speaking of the Blu-Ray reprints & the lack of updated torrents, I guess there's not really a point in having them if the rips in the pastebin are already at 1080p despite them being the earlier RT prints from 2013.

Popping in because I decided to get some writing done instead of sleeping. Finished the first chapter of a two-shot based on a discussion that was had during the episode when Ruby drank the tea, and WBY's utterly inane reactions. >Rescuing Ruby <Jaune and WBY actually do something about Ruby’s Ascension instead of "accepting" her suicide. https://archiveofourown.org/works/66997543/chapters/172958959 Chapter 2 is already in the works.

>>5135 Would you consider doing a story where Yang and Blake breakup just to poke the hornets nest?

>>5136 Not opposed to the idea, but whether or not I could write it well, I don't know. As fun as taking the piss out of Catpiss is in shitposts, it's another thing to make that a story that isn't childish. Besides, I have 12 other stories/chapters in the works right now at different stages of completion.

>>5136 I personally thought that Blake ditching her after yang had her arm cut in V3 was it for catpiss. Maybe it's because I place a lot of weight on the fraternal bonds inherently formed in a team, but some one leaving me behind like that would irreparable shatter my trust in them. How can you be comfortable with that person watching your back ever again. Now that I think about it the fact yang survives at all is an insane feat. >Artierial bleeding can kill in minutes if not seconds. >Yang survives an unspecified amount of time with a fully severed arm and no way of mitigating blood loss. <Muh Aura It's still insane. Arterial bloodloss from a total amputation can cause loss of consciousness in seconds and death in 2 minutes. That's some crazy healing right there.

>>5138 In a sane world it would've been.

>>5142 >If real life people have survived having their legs blown off outright by land-mines With immediate medical intervention by their comrades or immediate application of self aid.

This isn't brought up enough in Adam redemption fics. Everyone's far too quick to forgive Blake on account of her being one of the main characters. Even if everything got patched over with kisses and bandaids... why the hell would he trust her again? She might have been the only one to speak to him like a person in the WF, whereas most other people were inferiors wanting guidance or superiors giving him orders. But she crossed the line, pretty fittingly with leaping away from him. I'm going to write Blake being avoided by Adam, to a violently enforced extent. It'll be a brain fart on her part as to figuring out why; she's meant to have all this worldly experience but she still speaks and acts like a Starbucks sipping liberal college girl. Goodnight, everybody

GOOD MORNING RWBYG! >>5148 Good night Stripey, see ya later! Good luck with your internet. Definitely would like to see that Blake fic.

>>5145 What the fuck does this mean

I've had a random idea that I feel the urge to share. Is Ozpin single handedly keeping the Huntsman system alive purely because it's how things were done when he was young? Ozma grew up in a traditional sword and sorcery setting, where lone heroes and small bands of adventurers were often the ones getting things done. At the time, even the most organized of armies were involved in incredibly barbaric warfare without any concept of war crimes or any of the regulations one would expect of a modern army. (That isn't to say that those regulations or the Geneva Convention rules aren't broken more often that they should be, but they are nominally in place.) But with Ozpin playing shadow government for a substantial amount of history, what exactly was stopping him from trying to keep things as he vaguely remembered them? >Despite having the equivalent of firearms, we still see a lot of individuals engaged in combat instead of fire-and-maneuver teams. >Remnant never developed artillery despite having the requisite tech, was Ozpin uncomfortable with killing an unseen opponent? >The only heavy guns we see are all naval or air naval based, where the development was all but forced. >Another tech advancement are the Atlesian mechanical soldiers, who fill the same role of disposable footsoldiers. >The next are the Atlesian power armors, of various sizes, but all basically serving as modern 'knight' units. >Mantle, despite being attached to Atlas, still had it's primary defensive structure of a WALL... >Still, that might be excusable because of the aforementioned lack of artillery. And I'm sure there's a ton of stuff that could be brought up...

>>5153 >even the most organized of armies were involved in incredibly barbaric warfare without any concept of war crimes or any of the regulations one would expect of a modern army. I think his understanding of war and armies being the same as they always were also comes from the Great War and the destruction it caused. Also aura and the Grimm enemy changes combat as well as the importance of reducing casualties and destructions. Artillery barrages in civilian areas are probably gonna cause panic and long-range attacks don't do well in close-quarters, plus the enormous physical power of people. The real answer is Rule of Cool and anime.

>>5155 And how much of the destruction caused by the Great War was caused by him preserving the tradition of Huntsmen as the principal actors? A lot of people assumed that the lore video was using the stylization of Huntsman facing each other as a sanitized version of what happened. But what if it isn't? What if it was actually a massive melee between Huntsman-class warriors and conscript forces? The entire thing wound up with Ozma PERSONALLY joining the fray as the King of Vale, probably the most literal interpretation of his mindset: A single hero stepping in the solve everything. >It might actually be the reason why Jinn stated you "You can't." due to him still thinking in terms of how do "I" stop Salem. While it might not be a good idea from a Grimm-attracting perspective, I'd argue a AOE approach would be incredibly effective against the Grimm due to their 'horde' methods. Yes, also rule of cool. Also, testing to see how spoiler tags work here.

>>5156 >the Great War was caused by him preserving the tradition of Huntsmen as the principal actors? The Great War began before Huntsmen were actually created as a concept. The Huntsman schools were founded after the war. Maria even says as much about her father who fought in the war. >a AOE approach would be incredibly effective against the Grimm due to their 'horde' methods. The problem here is that Grimm are endless, it's only a short-term solution and destroys infrastructure. Not to mention Grimm being tougher than you'd think. We see bullets and dust-bullets mostly fail to take out most larger Grimm, since they have no real flesh to wound. It's an all or nothing approach regarding injuring them. >The entire thing wound up with Ozma PERSONALLY joining the fray as the King of Vale, probably the most literal interpretation of his mindset: A single hero stepping in the solve everything. That is an interesting thing to point out; a flaw of Ozpin's, that he has to do this alone. That it's his burden to carry and he only relies on others if he has to. have fun!

>>5153 >>5155 There are actually many still practical applications for weapon-based combat. Biggest reason being what happens when you get low on or run out of ammo, as what happened to the English over twenty years ago: https://archive.ph/U22Ra <In May 2004, approximately 20 British troops in Basra were ambushed and forced out of their vehicles by about 100 Shiite militia fighters. When ammunition ran low, the British troops fixed bayonets and charged the enemy. About 20 militiamen were killed in the assault without any British deaths. Or what's currently going on in South China Sea as West Taiwan's continues their "Grey Zone Warfare" tactics: https://archive.ph/osJiO <Filipino soldiers had to use their bare hands to fight off Chinese coast guards with swords, a general said In fact, the entire point behind scenes like the infamous corridor scene in Oldboy and half the fights in Bad City is because guns are illegal or heavily restricted in Asian countries, so criminals typically resort to using anything they can get their hands on as a weapon. >The real answer is Rule of Cool and anime. That would be the argument at the start. But as the story develops, you have to actually explain why things are the way they are. >>5158 >We see bullets and dust-bullets mostly fail to take out most larger Grimm, since they have no real flesh to wound. It's an all or nothing approach regarding injuring them. Then there's also the good-old Highlander trope the guns only slow down the target, but you have to actually behead (Or similar) it in order to kill it.

>>5160 >as what happened to the English over twenty years ago Not even twenty years ago, we still get CQC knife fights in wars today. There was that recent one in the Donbass where a soldier that ran out of ammunition ambushed the guy who was shooting him, by waiting for him to approach his cover. Now add Aura to the equation where bullet-dodging and tanking makes them far less effective. Great example is Tyrian vs RNJR and Qrow >Then there's also the good-old Highlander trope the guns only slow down the target, but you have to actually behead (Or similar) it in order to kill it. That too, but what I mean is that if you lop off the limbs of a Grimm that's an injury grievous enough to stop it, anything else is just gonna slow it down at most.

>>5158 The Modern Huntsman was codified after the Great War, but we know that 'Huntsman' as a concept pre-dates the Great War due to Lewis writing "The Girl Who Fell Through The World" featuring Jaune as the Rusted Knight. I'd argue that the concept, without the Huntsman moniker, stretches back to Ozma's time as a wandering hero himself. >destroys infrastructure My mind immediately drifts to the two Atlesian soldiers being immediately overwhelmed by the Grimm rushing past them coming in from the forest. And I immediately have to wonder how heavier weapons might've changed the outcome of that at the relatively low cost of leveling part of the forest. There's also how the minigun from the Bullhead during the Breach tearing apart some Grimm if memory serves, so there's some real inconsistency in-series about what it takes to bring one down. >he has to do this alone I do have to wonder, that his realization that the one person he placed trust in, Salem, was going to turn into his enemy might've influenced him as well? >>5160 Perhaps there certainly are... but they're not tactics of first resort if the option to use firearms are presented.

>>5162 >Lewis writing "The Girl Who Fell Through The World" featuring Jaune as the Rusted Knight. Well that could have been Jaune telling the about Huntsmen and whatnot, and I'm sure that specialized fighters existed before that but they weren't on the level of Huntsmen, as they weren't trained in academies but more likely on a militia and apprentice basis. At least that's what I theorize based on the World of Remnant explanations. >My mind immediately drifts to the two Atlesian soldiers being immediately overwhelmed by the Grimm rushing past them coming in from the forest. And I immediately have to wonder how heavier weapons might've changed the outcome of that at the relatively low cost of leveling part of the forest. The problem is that heavy artillery would attract MORE Grimm, but yeah that is a fair point, it's a criticism I have of Atlas too. The problem is outside of massive Grimm Hordes artillery against Grimm is a bad idea, since it's like shooting a fly with a bazooka. What they really needed was more dual-purpose auto-cannons, like the S-60 57mm gun. It can hit land or air targets and can penetrate even a modern MBT's side armor, so even a big Grimm like the Goliaths should feel that shit. Heavier systems like MLRS and howitzers are much less accurate however. We even see this in V4 when Sun and Blake have to pin the Sea Feilong for their ship's artillery to land a decisive hit. Guidance systems are usually expensive and require specific assets like artillery recon and RADAR, which is less effective in forested areas. And the Breach was in the middle of a populated area, artillery would blanket the whole thing and probably kill as many as the Grimm would have, with more damage to buildings. >There's also how the minigun from the Bullhead during the Breach tearing apart some Grimm You mean Coco? Her semblance causes that: https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Hype >his realization that the one person he placed trust in, Salem, was going to turn into his enemy might've influenced him as well? He does mention that Leonardo was not the first to betray him, as do the fairy tails like Infinite Man.

>>5164 >the level of Huntsmen I'll concede that the creation of the academies did absolutely increase the quality of the Huntsmen produced thanks to centralized training, but I'd argue that they even had a name for them right out of the gate meant there was a previous tradition. I think Maria might be one of the last Huntress' trained according to that tradition, which might be a more master-apprentice system. >dual-purpose auto-cannons Admittedly, I was mostly using artillery as an example for the initial thought... I should probably amend it to include weapons like you've described. >Coco, rocking it like she should I did review the scene, an Atlas gunship DOES open up on an ursa with it's cannons... maybe tearing it up was an exaggeration, but it does absolutely go down. >Leonardo It's probably a recurring problem where Ozpin might be viewing any ally as potentially turning against him. I do see him hedging his bets against Ironwood, even before he goes around him to offer security services to the Vale Council directly.

>>5165 Ozpin's lack of trust is something I've talked about in the past and want to address in my writings. All those Oz bashing fics where he's a 'stupid dum-dum for not telling everyone everything all the time', is retarded and ignorant. Ozpin is thousands of years old, with a long list of regrets and failures, he's long since forgotten what it's like to be young, and can no longer truly grasp the fleetingness of life, because he's used to playing the long-game at this point, which means keeping information close to the chest. > it does absolutely go down True. But that's heavier caliber than the assault-rifles we see soldiers and AK-200s using. > 'd argue that they even had a name for them right out of the gate meant there was a previous tradition Most likely but I think it was more of a passed-down warrior tradition rather than anything organized, with primary fighting forces being ordinary militias and armies.

>>5166 >forgotten what it's like to be young You know, with some of the recent anime releases touching on the matter, I do wish that they explored the terror of eternity. Admittedly, Ozpin has a failsafe in place by merging with new hosts but I'd love to see him having moments where he forgets which century he's in. Or accidentally ask for an ally who is long gone. Or that he'd literally forgotten literal lifetimes worth of memories. >assault-rifles Indeed, they are less powerful then the canons but that sequence also shows sustained fire putting Grimm down. As an aside, why the hell are the AK-200s using the same rifles as the human soldiers? Why aren't they taking advantage of their non-human durability to equip something too heavy for a normal human to use? To reference a gacha game, the Nikke use weapons that are similar to human ones but upscaled in firepower to take advantage of their frames. The one time the human Commander tries to use a Nikke-class weapon, he only gets one shot off because of him being injured (even further) by the kickback. Thankfully, he only needed the one shot. >passed-down warrior tradition Yeah, kind of what I was going for.

>>5167 >Admittedly, Ozpin has a failsafe in place by merging with new hosts but I'd love to see him having moments where he forgets which century he's in. Or accidentally ask for an ally who is long gone. Or that he'd literally forgotten literal lifetimes worth of memories. THIS It's also why I think timetravel fics where Rusted Jaune gets bitchy with Ozpin make no sense; Jaune, out of all of them should have a better perspective on being older than you should be, on lost time and dissonance with the time he's in. >hey are less powerful then the canons but that sequence also shows sustained fire putting Grimm down Problem is sustained fire is difficult when you have assaults from all directions. Interestingly I think flame-throwers would be rather effective against Grimm, especially with how Dust can combine and be more powerful. >hy the hell are the AK-200s using the same rifles as the human soldiers? Why aren't they taking advantage of their non-human durability to equip something too heavy for a normal human to use? This runs into the problem that real life androids being tested have. While lifting capacity is higher in a robot, nobody turned off weight, and unlike Remnant humans they have no aura to assist them. A heavy machine gun would have to be hip-slung which heavily reduces its accuracy, because even if the hydraulics can hold the weight, the weight would tip the robot over more often than not. A better question is why there aren't inbuilt weapons like in the original AK130s we see in Black Trailer - it's a result of CRWBY not really thinking too much for V3, as I'm pretty sure they were supposed to have heavier variants for the AK-200s that never were modeled after Monty died.

Good morning!

>>5168 >timetravel fics Honestly, I really do like the concept that in such a situation Ozpin is one of two people on the planet to actually GET what Jaune is going through. >flame-throwers Honestly, considering the various forms of Dust I really do want to see things like this. It feels like a lot of the assault rifles sacrifices power and versatility to make them cheaper to mass produce. And while you ultimately have to sacrifice a bit when you go to mass production, in this case it actually affects it's ability to do it's actual job. Damn, I actually forgot the really cool idea from the trailer... though in this case, didn't Ironwood state that they were deliberately trying to make them less scary? >>5169 Good morning!

>>5169 Morning! >>5170 >Ozpin is one of two people on the planet to actually GET what Jaune is going through. Yep. I have a whole conversation written out about that for future chapters >didn't Ironwood state that they were deliberately trying to make them less scary? That is a good point.

>Milfagging My main issue with the series is how guns as a concept are treated. Here in reality the invention of the Heavy machine gun entirely shifted the battle space. Over the last 8 years of my career I have served as a Machine gunner and a WSL (Weapon Squad Leader). So I can I read the vehicle and gun combat through these lenses From where I'm sitting. The rifles and machine guns in RWBY seem borderline anemic. Part of this comes from I believe ignorance by the general public on exactly how devastating a well run MG crew can be. >Assault from all sides. A GOOD Gunner, AG, AB combo can deny movement over a vast area. Typically my gun teams would be emplaced with sectors covering 15-30° of interlocking fire (in a stagnant SBF (Support by Fires) position. Depending on rate of fire the crew stays at, the proficiency of the "Barrel Swap" and "Link in" Battle drills fires can be sustained for an indefinite period with very little lull in fire. ESPECIALLY on a fortified position like a walled city under constant threat of invasion the lack of MG positions on the wall is foolhardy at best. Criminally negligent at worst. >Guns don't work well against grimm Is a dumb (but mostly fair) statement as weapons seem to be effective/not effective based on what writers want at the given moment. Clearly they must be some what effective as Rifles are in use by atlas's military, and Coco Adel Chooses a Gattling gun as a weapon for the specific purpose of fighting grim. Retarded choice IMO as a Belt fed open bolt machine gun would be easier to wield have similar ballistic results, given it's chambered in a similar cartridge. The facts are >Machine guns produced an estimated 5.5 million casualties in WWI alone. >An AAR conducted with green berets after the conflict in Somalia found that Medium caliber Machine guns are the infantry squads MOST LETHAL asset. >In the modern battle space a dismount infantry squad CAN NOT MANUEVER without an Organic Machine Gun or Support by fire Element. <Why this is relevant Because if Rifles are effective there is zero reason medium caliber machine guns and Small caliber squad automatic weapons would not also be effective, if not more so. It's a forgivable mistake given machine gun theory isn't exactly common.

>>5093 For starters, fully genderswapped RWBY would attract a way different fanbase from what we got. Team of four boys as main characters mean we'd get the fujo fanbase, which barely have a foothold in canon RWBY given the gender ratio. In a fully genderbent cast, Jeanne ends up the most hated by virtue of getting in between Yaoi Whiterose, probably, same as canon Jaune. But if it was *just* Jaune who was genderbent, Jeanne would have almost zero hate whatsoever, I think. Basically anything people complain about with canon Jaune, people would look the other way with Jeanne, even if it was the exact same except for gender. The same things Jaune does when flirting with Weiss that get called 'harassment' would just provoke a bunch of 'le useless lesbian' memes.

>>5172 All I can say for the Gunships and Mechs is: >25MM DU Sabot rounds can pen over a hundred milimeters of rolled steel. There is a 0% chance an animal sized creature that can be killed by a sword is not getting reduced to atoms by a Sabot round. >Depleted uranium doesn't exist in this world Is probably the only decent argument against it, that and dust (probably) being a vastly inferior propellent to the mix used in modern Sabot ammunition. However, now that i think about it, surely there is a way to increse the density of a penetrator by treating it with Gravity dust or some shit. Again, rounds only seem as effective as what the CRWBY wants them to be. Tracked vehicles are superior to mechs in literally every way, a tank that can trip is retarded. Hydraulics bust on my bradley every other fucking day. I can't piss into the wind without a droplet landing on a vehicle with some form of hydraulic malfunction. The paladins would be a nightmare to maintain. >Dust is costly to mine and better served on huntsman teams than vehicle crews Would be a good argument for why the vehicles suck, but that's a dumb allocation if you are favoring your less lethal asset over a more armored and more maneuverable force multiplier. Then again I am biased as all hell because the brad is cool and I love it.

>>5172 >The rifles and machine guns in RWBY seem borderline anemic. Part of this comes from I believe ignorance by the general public on exactly how devastating a well run MG crew can be. Well yeah. It's also just an anime trope; guns are useless in shonen fights; either the target is too fast (dodging bullets) or shielded (aura) or simply doesn't notice or care about damage that isn't outright fatal (Grimm). Speaking of the latter if anyone has seen the damage a Grizzly can take, it's not that surprising that it takes a hail of bullets to put down one Grimm; I recall one hunter telling me a bear he shot in the head with a .308 charged him from 50 meters and only dropped dead nearly reaching him after he shot it 2 more times. His first round had blown into the brain and the fucker was still moving. Now put that in a creature without organs to damage. >ypically my gun teams would be emplaced with sectors covering 15-30° of interlocking fire (in a stagnant SBF (Support by Fires) position Is this a prepared position or positions taken in mobile combat? >ESPECIALLY on a fortified position like a walled city under constant threat of invasion the lack of MG positions on the wall is foolhardy at best. Criminally negligent at worst. True, this is why Mantle's wall being left unrepaired and unmanned was stupid. >if Rifles are effective there is zero reason medium caliber machine guns and Small caliber squad automatic weapons would not also be effective The problem is they're not heavily effective in RWBY. Heavier calibers (probably 12.7mm and bigger shotguns) seem to hit hard enough, but smaller weapons like the assault-rifles seem to lack hitting power against Grimm and aura. >>5174 >DU Sabot rounds can pen over a hundred milimeters of rolled steel. Don't forget that armor in RWBY is reinforced with dust usually. Also a 25mm APFSDS-T penetrating over 100mm sounds off, I know for a fact that part of the reason they upgraded the A-10s is because the 30mm GAU-8 had trouble penetrating the top armor of Soviet tanks at ranges beyond 500~ meters, and the thickest roof armor on a a T-72B is 30-50mm, not accounting for angle. And inb4 that Bradley-Abrams incident at An Najif, the Abrams flat side got penetrated point blank in the rear compartments where it's armor is thin enough that a 14.5mm AP round could (and have) penetrated. >0% chance an animal sized creature that can be killed by a sword is not getting reduced to atoms by a Sabot round. Well yeah, but I don't think 25mm small-arms are common, let alone automatic ones. >that's a dumb allocation if you are favoring your less lethal asset over a more armored and more maneuverable force multiplier Thing is we see much more maneuverable and faster Paladin struggle to keep up with the speed of Team RWBY, and its missiles and gun-fire either didn't land or didn't do much damage, just destroyed surrounding property. And sure, Grimm don't have aura or THOSE levels of speed, but they're still fast as fuck, and any area that isn't open is going to have limited long-range engagement. An attack helicopter would be more useful at that point.

>>5148 Weird this site is always in Italian for me, and i have to refresh it every while so i can agree to their TOS again >>5134 Kek

>>5177 >77 Heyo Bingo! Have some wholesome Cardin and Velvet

>>5179 >Support by Fires (at least the ones I've run) are typically a hasty position that you maneuver to, you typically have a rough idea of the sectors you want covered by which crew, what Target Reference points to use and when to shift fires before initiating movement but the finer points are hammered out on site by the WSL. Yeah I assumed so when you started talking about 30 degrees of intersecting fire rather than static positions. Just wanted to make sure. >Does not typically fire depleted uranium rounds The A-10? Yes it does. It's literally what it was build for, to truck that car-sized gun to fire DU ammo in the ground attack role. You're thinking of fighter aircraft 30mm which use he munitions since wider spreads of shrapnel and explosive force is more important than penetration against relatively thin-skinned aerial targets. The GAU-8 fires a mix of HE and armor-piercing incendiary. Not fin stabilized sabots but still DU sabots, with a 76mm penetration at 300meters, but that was in perfect firing conditions. >Yes it does (pen 100mm) While I know you can't post the exact specs can you say at what distance and angle? Because as far as I know the newest sabots ideally penetrate 30~mm at 2km against a 60 degree slope.

>>5176 >308 charged him from 50 meters and only dropped dead nearly reaching him after he shot it 2 more times. Take into account that the M240B has a cyclic fire rate of 800-900 RPM, this equates to 15ish rounds per second and can maintain said fire for a full minute without the barrel melting down. The typical engagement distance for a M240 is beyond 100meters. At the right distance with a good crew a .308 machine gun is turning that thing to paste. >I am now thinking of an Ice-DUST cooling system for a MG barrel which allows cyclic indefinitely ROCK HARD >Is this a prepared position or positions taken in mobile combat? Support by Fires (at least the ones I've run) are typically a hasty position that you maneuver to, you typically have a rough idea of the sectors you want covered by which crew, what Target Reference points to use and when to shift fires before initiating movement but the finer points are hammered out on site by the WSL. >The problem is they're not heavily effective in RWBY. Heavier calibers (probably 12.7mm and bigger shotguns) seem to hit hard enough, but smaller weapons like the assault-rifles seem to lack hitting power against Grimm and aura Entirely fair, but retarded has there is no reason a shotgun round should out preform medium caliber machine guns, the volume of fire produced would make up for the lack of "muh stopping powa" >A10 Warthog Does not typically fire depleted uranium rounds it is typically loaded with HE AFAIK but I'm not an airman i know virtually nothing about it. >Bradley doesn't Pin 100mm Yes it does, this is directly from the Bradley Master Gunner Ammo capabilities slide show (it goes more in depth but I can't post for what I hope are obvious reasons). 25MM is considered effective for PCs out to 2800m IIRC from my BMGPAC. >Well yeah, but I don't think 25mm small-arms are common, let alone automatic ones. Because no human could take the recoil. The loads fired by the M242 found in a M2A3 exert THOUSANDS of pounds of force on the firing components. The Reciever and barrel are locked in place and stabalized. I can not stress how insane the M242 Bushmaster as a weapon system is and the targeting equipment in a Bradley is nuts. And we are like a decade behind the targeting equipment found on an Abrams. >And sure, Grimm don't have aura or THOSE levels of speed, but they're still fast as fuck, and any area that isn't open is going to have limited long-range engagement. An attack helicopter would be more useful at that point. Sure if you use your gun meant to engage from 1000-2800m (Sabot) and 1,000-3000m (HE. Which can be accurately shot past the 2800m tracer burn out thanks to the HE being visible at impact.) At a close range then yes you will have trouble. That is why the M240C Coaxial Machine gun exists. The paladin was being operated by a retard or was programmed by a retard.

>>5180 Deleted that reply because I sent it too early. >The A-10 Again, Bradley crewman who went through a slightly more in dejewslass than is normal, I have no clue about the Warthog other than I saw them flying at Fort Leonard wood a few times. >While I know you can't post the exact specs can you say at what distance and angle? If I had my notes I would, but I don't. I do know that we can pen 100mm at optimal conditions, what that optimal condition is I don't know. Likely against non sloped armor if I had to guess.

Strrripey What's gone on? I had no sleep last night, only a sequence of naps.

We should have adhered to his teachings.

>>5211 It's tasteless when the crew parade his corpse around. It's just as tasteless when you do it too. Let the man rest.

>>5211 His opinions were shit and caused us to miss out on kino.

>>5212 What's wrong with reposting his word? Is he wrong there? >>5213 You sound mad. Give more examples

>>5093 Picrel would be better

>>5214 His anti-upskirt policy

>>5213 Isn't that more Burnie's fault than Monty's? And didn't Monty already passed away by the time Warner Bros. Japan asked RT that?

Got my ciggies (back from work)

>>5218 Would Jaune survive those three? I have a feeling he would. The man let all his other gear rust away while striving to keep Crescent Rose in good condition. His devotion and endurance would carry him through the beatings Yang, Qrow and Taiyang would lay upon him.

>>5219 I think he'd be alright after a month in the hospital.

Since we talked about Melee Combat in RWBY something I was reminded of is the Atlas weapon upgrades and how shit they were for most of the main cast. The Good: >Crocea Mors The upgrade was great. Gravity dust to repel or attract towards the shield. Hard-light to extend the shield's coverage. >Storm Flower Mediocre but grappling hooks are useful, it's just the Rice Catapult that fails. The supposed heavier fire-power is not shown very well however, but is a decent upgrade on paper. >Magnhild On one hand getting a flight mode like a witch is fun and useful. However I still think they should have added a rocket hammer aspect to it for MORE power, like Elm Ederne's, especially since it already got a powered flight feature. The Anima electricity feature is also underutilized and should amp Nora up visibly.

>>5221 Now to the bad: >Crescent Rose This was the worst offender. It's was redundant, since it already could act as a war scythe (See Red Trailer at 2:52 and when Ruby cuts down a tree during Initiation as well as the final blow against the Beringel in Volume 4 Teaser). The only upgrade it got as that instead of Ruby turning the handle to change the direction of Crescent Rose's blade direction, a mechanism turns it around instead. This is just LAZY. A better upgrade would be to make it run elemental dust in the blade depending on what Ruby activate, such as fire dust to make it cause more damage (pic as visual rel). >Myrtenaster No upgrade because "it's perfect". While understandable because simplicity is a benefit for Rapiers, given how much Weiss jobs, I think some sort of improvement could have been made, like having a parrying dagger in the handle, sort of, but not quite the same as Winter's blade, a secondary weapon. And/Or a Basket Hilt with Hard-light dust to shield her hand like a near-weightless buckler-sword. >Gambol Shroud Got Literally nothing except being repaired with the golden line because Catpiss. Gambol Shroud as a weapon is a good design but it could have been improved. Like having dust imbued into the Cleaver blade (which barely ever gets used anymore) or it acting a bit like Omen. Upon further research Monty had INTENDED to do some sort of Gambol Shroud upgrade: https://vimeo.com/370250391 >Ember Celica The sticky grenade upgrade was okay but what needed an upgrade was Yang's cybernetic arm. It has a rocket punch feature, yet lacks gravity dust to recall it back to her. Having her grab someone from a distance with that arm and then pull them in with dust for a heavier punch would have been great. It's strange that didn't get added given what we see with Maria Calavera's weapons having Gravity-Dust recall too. Bonus >Long Memory This could have been upgraded, but it's also Oz's weapon. However Oscar not getting a weapon of his own was stupid. Even something silly like a Shovel-Rifle hybrid or something. As an aside, the fact that Ruby, who built her own weapon and helped build Ember Celica, never added some DIY upgraded features on the weapons of her Team or friends is a severe disappointment. Hell a small plotline could have been Ruby making upgrades for things like Crocea Mors or Gambol Shroud and then later down the line, a more professional weapon smith could improve her upgrades, pointing out flaws and letting her learn new things. Would have been organic and interesting.

Good morning bros >>5222 Chegged

>>5220 What are the odds Ruby ends up in the very same bed Jaune vacated seven months earlier?

>>5211 Hard to say what he would've been like if he was still alive today, but I think he would've either succumbed to RT drama or get pushed out/have lesser influence of RWBY.

>>5225 Tranny. That's my guess. That or he might've become a huge pain in the ass to work with. Either way, ego.

>>5225 Based on what we know from his wife and Shane, Monty planned to take RWBY and do it more independently of RT, preparing this for after V2 because he was having difficulty with a lot of RT staff trying to overrule him. >>5226 >Married to a woman >Generally chill dude <he wud be trannee Don't be a Fauner >>5211 True and based. RWBY was about fun first and foremost, which is why the tonal shift is so clearly visible in the post-Monty works, especially the further you go. Like RWBY, hate it, but you can't say Monty pretended it was anything more or less than his intention; an 'american anime' based on his favorites and made for fun, he made it for himself, and people enjoyed it, which is what an artist does.

>>5219 >>5227 Rusted Jaune fucking the Afteran Blacksmith pregnant when!?

>>5228 >Listen to your step-father boys. KEK

>>5228 When I get to it, I already have too much lined up as it is. >>5229 I'm definitely gonna put a variation of that line if I get to it.

>>5209 Milfag discussion and banter. Gonna go to sleep soon, but wanted to check on the board first and make some posts after a long day. Tomorrow I'm building a shelf in my shed and cutting out a new trunk-board for my car before. Hard but fun work.

>>5227 >RT assassinated Monty to fagify the IP

>>5232 Honestly I sometimes wonder if someone at RT gave him the Evil Eye because he wouldn't bend a knee. To those saying he'd have also joined the drama or fagged out: He stated that no member of Team RWBY would be in a relationship with each other because it was about sisterhood (Bumbleby is thus fake and gay). He didn't care for MKEKs 'jokes' about Blake and Pyrrha being a thing and he resisted every effort to change HIS show in ways that weren't true to his vision. Dude stuck to his guns.

>>5233 I don't believe for a second monty would have sold out. I also believe he wouldn't have let them turn Ren into the shows most proficient JOBBER. >Ren has won less fights in RWBY than Renji did in bleach Grim.

>>5233 In fairness the Blake/Pyrrha thing wasn't MKEK it was Arryn and she brought it up so often even MKEK told her to shut up.

>>5233 >He stated that no member of Team RWBY would be in a relationship with each other because it was about sisterhood Wow, MKEK really spat on his grave over that. For all the said about honoring his memory they really kicked that under the rug.

Question, would Arcest (Jaune/Saphron) even be a thing in the fandom if Saphron had a regular, male husband instead of Terra?

>>5238 It probably would. I mean people ship Jaune with Kali despite her having normal and loving marriage with her husband. Only difference would be that premise of half of Arcest fics would no lomger be "Terra and Me want another baby, Lil Bro"

>>5238 I think it would still exist like >>5239 said but since she's normal it wouldn't be as appealing and would be even less common than it already is. Also see >>9

>>5222 >222 Checked I think you probably gave this more thought than the actual writers did.

Fell asleep eyes stinging Woke up eyes stinging There is not much worth it about revenge bedtime procrastination.

>>5237 >>5236 >>5235 >Arryn told to shut up MKEK told her to shut up 'cause she shilled it so much even they stopped going along with it. >he wouldn't have let them turn Ren into the shows most proficient JOBBER. Given how cool Ren was in the Initiation, probably not. >spat on his grave over that And many other parts. The Cordovin fight was originally supposed to be in V3 and would have been Ozpin taking apart the mech with precise hits of his cane taking it apart piece by piece, without outright wrecking it. I think it was supposed to be a counterpart to how Team RWBY fought Torchwick's Paladin. Shane mentioned in on socials once and I read rumors before Monty died.

>>5245 Take slightly salty water, wash out your eyes (yes I know it'll sting a little) and then right after wash it out with warm fresh water, and then again with cold water. Be gentle. >>5238 As pointed out by >>5243 and >>5239 It'd definitely be a thing, there's always many niche ship/fetishes in the fandom, it's just going to be much less common. The lack of need for "Adrian donor" would be an additional reducing factor (that and only lesbians being cuckqueaned is really any good). As an aside, I've written before that Argus is basically Remnant's Greekville, however I just realized Adrian is probably named that way because of the Sea nearby Greece; The Adriatic Sea, although that is closer to an Italian and Balkan Sea than Greek, but MKEK and Geography are not closely associated. >>5246 I wonder now if Cordovin's mech could have affected the attack on Atlas? Will we see it in Volume 10? Because it'd be quite helpful against those Death-Worm Grimm.

>Click the Robyn_hill tag on booru >most of it is Robyn x Winter a.k.a Icebyrd <MFW Robyn and Winter never interacted and were ostensibly on opposite sides for most of their lives. Even Jailbirds makes more sense, and I dislike Jailbirds.... but at the same time they're like the two worst girls outside of BY; an arrogant bootlicker and a bitchy cunt (though Robyn blows Winter out of the water in the bad department).

>>5247 While Argus is Greekville (especially since Argean is synonym for Greek in Illiad), it also uses Latin names. Argus is even Latin spelling of Argos. Looking at Argean characters and places: Pyrrha Nikos- purely Greek Saphron (Sappho)- Greek Terra- Latin Sanctum combat school- Latin Neptune and Jupiter Vasilias- Latin first name, Greek last name Adrian is Latin, same name as Hadrian (named after city of Adria, same as sea). So taking Latin side into consideration it's not too weird.

>>5247 >RWBY general: Eye Wash advice for the Sleep Deprived Not like that you mongrel Lmao How are ya? >Cordovin's mech being worth a damn instead of Rule of Cool She could maybe fist Monstra with that drill arm. Team RWBY sure will be able to get inside the whale that way. >Deathworms Are they actually Grimm? I forgot Anyway, imagine those things jamming up on the drill, taken right down the thriat, and just ending up spinning while not dead. I would seethe so hard if I was a limbless Grimm immobilized like that.

>>5248 It's Robyn's most popular ship on AO3 (and 2nd most popular Winter ship after Cinwin). Being shipped with Robyn is punishment in and of itself, neither Winter nor Qrow deserve that. Just ship her with Harriet, both are comparably awful

>>5238 Yes, same way that Ruby and Yang would be shipped if they were male

>>5250 >Not like that you mongrel By Allah I'll give you a taste of my shoe. I'm doing well. I mentioned before but I've got a vacation so I'm switching between doing heavy duty repairs to my shed and taking 3 hours to go to the Ocean and swim and sunbathe. Have to wait til High tide for now, so I'm gonna keep sawing. >She could maybe fist Monstra with that drill arm Let her fist a giant Salem instead >Are they actually Grimm? I thought they were, but apparently I was wrong, though Salem has Grimm equivalents. >>5249 Good point. My ramblings are saved!

>>5280 >Ironwood catches Adam at an anti-SDC protest before he goes WF. >Asking him if he would like to know how to really make a difference. >At this point, Adam's anger hadn't quite spread to all of Atlas. >He winds up enrolling at Atlas Academy, eventually bumping into Winter. >A lot of anger, racism and steadily increasing sexual tension. >And it didn't stop when both wound up enlisting after graduation. >But both are now forced to work together as specialists.

>>5281 So, so toxic. I like it Adam probably saw picrel at some point

>>5282 Still, I'm a little undecided when Adam reveals his scar to Winter... if he has at all. But when it happens, it's the big breakthrough in their relationship... Winter has confirmation that leaving the heiress position behind was the right choice and Adam can have cathartic release over what happened when he confronts her about it.

>>5284 >implying Ironwood doesn't have Pietro-tier people on call to handle residue extraction (the reason Aura couldn't heal it over) and skin grafting The rest checks out big time. I wonder if Winter was ever as bitchy as v1 Weiss was. I don't have access to my captioned Winter images to post reactions with rn

>>5285 >Unless he chooses to retain it as a reminder... or he simply keeps the scar under tight wraps. I think Winter absolutely has a temper that she's been taught to keep under wraps... we do see it peeking out every so often. Though I suspect that it's seen a bit more often, as she's forced to work with Adam during training. To drive in the fact that you might not like someone, but you must learn to work with them.

>>5286 Why the hell would he keep something that doesn't let him sleep face-down, and stings him with pain as the still-open wound that doesn't even scab over every time across the 13k-19k times a day that he blinks? As a teen made an offer by the hypothetical mentor that this timeline's Ironwood would be... just why would he not take up an offer to make the pain go away? He might grow up knowing what peace without pain looks like.

>>5287 Bitterness. Raw, unfiltered, bitterness. Him accepting the repair to his face should, thematically, be character development.

>>5288 >Younger Adam refusing help from a human who happens to bear the ability to make a difference >The headmaster of Atlas Academy, even <about to argue that this is retarded. Someone in actually desperate straits would not find pride hard to swallow if it gets them what they need. <remember that this Adam would be an Academy age teenager Such a stupid decision as keeping an open unhealed wound rather than having it healed is completely on brand (kek) for a dipshit whose brain isn't even done in the oven yet. Dude dresses like an RGB keyboard later in life. That flight-suit-kinda polo jacket returns to being appropriately edgy compared to the drip he had in warmer climates.

>>5289 Exactly. He'd still be in really dumb, teenage years. They'd slowly cook the dumbness out of him like juices from a slab of meat over the academy years. That said, I also imagine that in a world where anti-Faunus racism actually exists beyond a few lines it might've been hard for Adam to find someone willing to work on his scar for what he can afford. It might even be a case that he still believes this to be the case, even when the resources are actually available to him. >After the plot reveal to Winter and the shock wears off, she does ask him if he tried to get it fixed. >Adam bitterly remarks that no one would want to do it for him, not cheaply. >Huntsman themed scene change to Ironwood's office at the Academy. >There is a very long pause as Ironwood stares at the unmasked Adam. >Then a VERY long sequence of Ironwood tearing Adam a new asshole for not getting it fixed. >Adam is force marched to the medical wing.

>>5290 Fuckin righteous. This is the kino that we were waiting for

>>5290 Makes me wonder how much of Adam's behavior is from an untreated infection that reached his brain.

>>5291 >The procedure would be efficient, but due to the need to extract individual particles? >It couldn't be quick, not if they wanted to be through. >The procedure could be done without putting Adam under, but anesthesia would be administered. >But the pain relief couldn't fully stop the unsettling process of working around his eye. >Ironwood gave Winter permission to leave, but she simply sat next to Adam's bed. >Her family company had put it's brand upon Adam's face. >She would stay to see it removed, she felt it her duty to him. >This would be allowed, with Winter offering her hand to him if he needed it. >No one was quite certain when his hand grasped hers, except for the two of them. >>5292 Never mind the psychological effect of seeing it in the mirror every time he had to unmask.

>>5280 Personally I prefer an enemies to lovers plot for Adam/Winter; One a haughty Schnee the other an upstart Faunus, each top-members of their respective sides, and each with their own nuances. Initially Adam sees a prissy rich bitch fighting for corporate interests and Winter sees a dirty violent faunus, killing and thieving. And yet one sought to break free of her controlling greedy father, to fight for order, and the other fought for freedom, raiding the enemy to bring supplies for his people and strike back at those who hurt them. And as they fight and clash in their respective missions, they become used to each other, to meeting and fighting. And then one day they're both on a train in North Mistral that derails and they're stuck alone in the wilderness, with only one another to rely on for survival. Their familiarity leads to conversation, conversation leads to understanding. As an aside we NEVER find out how Adam got that scar, and more importantly Weiss never sees it, let alone reacts to her family corporate logo branded over the eye of a person. How could they NOT have that moment?

>>5294 >How could they NOT have that moment? Shoddy writing. But I am of the mind that the brand is too clean to be truly accidental. Someone did that to him deliberately... more likely than not a human SDC employee seeking to make an example of a mouthy faunus worker.

>>5251 I think Robyn is worse. Harriet is at the very least a meathead to begin with, following orders with absolutism and aggressively sticking to her guns and what-not. Robyn is an ideologue that pretends to have a moral high-ground but is useless. Rather than raiding supplies and bitching at ordinary troops and Huntsmen about "muh Mantle hole" she should have already at least set up a barricade there and sent footage of her "Happy Huntresses" fighting Grimm while outnumbered to News or to Ironwood or something to actually demonstrate she's not just another politician posturing themselves as a saviour. At least Ironwood had the grace to admit that people hated him for good reason. I initially shipped Qrow with Winter, but as I got older I found Willow/Qrow more appealing. >Cinwin Bleh. As an aside it's kinda funny that almost half of that shit on Ao3 is like 2 yuri-obsessed writers that also ship Maria/Ruby and WR.

>>5295 Oh it was 100% deliberate, and that's my point. Definitely shoddy writing. As an aside, I find it quite interesting that Yang doesn't even react to that brand-mark and neither she nor, more importantly, Blake ever tell anyone about it, let alone Weiss. It's almost a conscious decision because Adam reveals it as he's telling Blake about being hurt. It feels like such a tone-deaf moment, like most Yang and/or Blake stuff post V3.

>>5297 Fair, admittedly with all the memeing about it being an accident did make me feel like I had to set the tone. But the fact that neither Yang nor Blake brought it up to Weiss, such a wasted chance to salvage her not seeing the reveal herself.

>>5297 It's still weird how Blake talks to Sun about how Menagerie is some impoverished place while showing the place looking like a luxury beach resort. Then again this show has more onscreen examples of human slavery despite constantly saying that the faunus are oppressed

>>5297 It is still dizzying to me that this show has the in-setting exploited minority marginalized, as you describe, by their own writers.

>>5297 It's because anything Faunus related stopped mattering after Volume 5 and Adam's send off in 6 was the end to anything about that stuff. It was lazy but a clear choice the writers made.

>>5277 >Ilia isn't an option Poor lizard.

>>5277 >>5310 Life is cruel for the ones paired with Blake, not the other way around. Ilia should consider herself lucky, she'll probably show up in Vacuo in Volume 10 with a girlfriend.

>>5310 >Ilia is the self insert for every lesbian that pined for a straight girl. It will never not be funny.

>>5278 It's still around so they probably have a small but loyal customer base. I figure most people agree with >>5279, while the financially conscious who might go for something like it for monetary reasons aren't going to spend ~$3 for 400 calories when canned soup exists.

>>5310 >>5311 >>5312 I need a Here Lies Butthead meme edit so that it's Ilia's face showing, and the tombstone reads "HERE LIES ILIA - SHE NEVER EVEN CONFESSED"

>>5314 I swear there is an image from an artbook or something that describes ilia as the pining lesbian. That should be on the tombstone.

>>5315 Turns out I do not have that one.

>>5329 It seems like the rest of the world collectively forgot about it too. No one celebrates that shit anymore. Everyone stopped caring all at once. lmao.

>>5296 >I initially shipped Qrow with Winter, but as I got older I found Willow/Qrow more appealing. I still ship Qrow with Winter. It's by far more interesting than Willow/Qrow tbh. Yeah you've got an alcoholics plot line for them but what is there outside of that? Their interactions have to actually be interesting. Qrow & Winter would be relentlessly more entertaining on screen.

>>5334 They've never interacted but I like the random idea of Taiyang x Winter/Willow since we know he's fine with finding new love and it's really, really, funny thinking of Weiss's reaction to Ruby and Yang's dad dating her older sister/mom.

>>5334 Snowbyrd is classic, can't argue with that, but Winter kinda lost me in the Atlas arc; made me dislike her with shit she did and said. >>5296 I think Willow/Qrow is cute as an EoS ship where they both give life one more try and have a kid for whom they reform themselves utterly.

>>5335 >Taiyang x Winter/Willow That's one I haven't thought of. >he's fine with finding new love Kek, that's one way of putting it >Weiss's reaction to Ruby and Yang's dad dating her older sister/mom. Yang would definitely freak the fuck out over Winter being her step-mother. I think everyone would be fine with Willow. >>5323 Didn't notice that. I stand by my post however

>>5322 >I want to fuck the poor lizard. >Fuck lesbians straight again On one hand; same. But on the other; do I really wanna deal with that? >>4709 is quite appealing however. I wonder if pregnancy would do the trick.

And the user would need to have a Strength/Kinetic Power semblance to make something that small worth a damn against the softer body of Grimm, let alone the armour plate >>5348 <*hicks that can't point out anything on a map outside their local county <*vets who think .50 is a passing fad

>>5348 >used by retards hoping to imitate Ace Ops Specialists, will die to a 5-for-a-Lien bullet

>>5348 Quiet morning. Guess I will just be postin shit In order; >Intellectually challenged hicks that can't point out anything on a map past their local county >convict monkeys >people who build sex dungeons under houses, whether it's their own or someone else's

>>5336 >Snowbyrd is classic, can't argue with that, but Winter kinda lost me in the Atlas arc; made me dislike her with shit she did and said. Fucking Atlas arc again? I swear that arc ruined SO many characters for so many people. It truly is the worse arc. Ugh. lol. I can't even hold it against you but I certainly don't hold it against Winter either. It was the writers fault. I don't think anybody was likable in that arc.

>>5332 There was a huge event the city I live. A whole bunch of gays, bis, pans, asexuals and trans with their flags everywhere. The weather was horrific that day though, and apparently actual lesbians have been hunted to extinction.

Apparently this ship is called Hornet. I like the pun Blake looks so much better in Adam's polo jacket thing than her zipper suit, holy shit Actually matches her intended purpose as a stealth ninja type. And it makes her eyes stand out, which is nice. If its padding is a type of aura conductor, it could stand in as armour which makes her at least tough enough to not job after the first hit if she can't use her Semblance to get away. Yang's hair clashes horribly with Blake's suit. I have a feeling changing the white to yellow would do the trick for it, though Adam pulls off Yang's fit just fine, I say. The brown sack look makes him look rough and ready like he's trying to be a man of the land. Or failing that, if he got a lot of grease and soot stains on it he'd look like a representative of the working class. >>5359 >the serpent devouring its own tail Deserved.

>>5359 >actual lesbians have been hunted to extinction With how much women hate each other this is not surprising

>>5359 Less hunted and more staying home... as more transexual representation builds within the Pride events, along with other representations, women both bi and lesbian have (according to survey) feel less welcome and represented at such events. It's a sign of the changing demographics at the events.

Incoming red tape

Is everybody usually here too busy fighting off heatstroke to post?

>>5367 Mostly been idly gening and cleaning house.

>>5367 took a nap

>>5369 Taking that as a yes lol >>5368 You are worthy. Free chippies today u u u u

>>5367 I'm used to the heat so I'm just chillin

>>5371 Envying your weather. Tropic and Antarctic winds are perpetually fighting and cold is currently nailing the warm into the mattress.

GOOD MORNING MOTHER FUCKERS IT IS HEAVY BACK SQUAT DAY. >We are one month closer to college football season. Hell yeah boys. Do sports exist on remnant? If so which one is the most popular? Could they survive in the absolute meat grinder that is the SEC? >Hard mode: Gladiatorial Combat doesn't count

>>5374 The Vytal Festival >hard mode Shieeet...

>>5375 I feel like track and field and most martial sports like boxing and MMA likely exist as they're all basic competitive things humans do >I bet I'm faster than you >I bet I can jump higher than you >I bet I am stronger than you >I bet I can hit harder than you I could also see soccer existing in some form or fashion as it's a basic sport on its head. >Salem has 0 SEC championships Wouldnt survive 4 quarters with Alabama I'm afraid.

>>5374 Ay SFbro. How's it all going? If everything's also a gun, they have target shooting and that one Finnish triathlon, for certain.

>>5377 It's going couldnt find my headphones so I'm raw dogging leg day in silence, unfortunately.

>>5378 If you're at a gym, I bet the other people there stare at you in fear. No distraction. No input feed. No playlists. Are doing all this at home? Imagine how it would be doing this in an abandoned building.

>>5379 It's a gym. The other morning regulars know me we are all pretty friendly. >Imagine lifting in an abandoned building The first gym I joined in highschool was run out of an old warehouse in my home town. Great group of guys ran the place tought me a lot.

>>5380 Sounds like you have your shit sorted, brother. Work's just about done for me right now. Anything about Sunflowyr dancing in your head?

>>5381 Just about to start work for me, I always got some kind of story running in my brain I just need to actually get time to sit down and write.

>leave thread for most of the day <people are posting organically I am glad. >>5356 The Atlas Arc was basically 'lets fuck up everyone's shit even more than it already was' In universe and outside it. >>5359 Glad they didn't do it where I was. >>5367 I've been reorganizing my tools for the first time in 3 years (because I literally never had the time until now), just finished literally 5 minutes ago. Took 3 hours to walk in the woods and then go fishing.

>V9 was Ruby committing suicide >Gen:Lock had characters commit suicide <This is a good thing. Someone edit pic rel to be the MKEK writers

>>5386 KEK This is the Snowbyrd dynamic I love. But Qrow would be too cool to get frozen like that.

>>5388 I think its Alcoholics Anonymous since Whitley calls him father in the texts (plus that artist likes it)

>>5374 Wouldn't be popular, but Volleyball

>>5389 Even BETTER

>>5367 A smidge. How's it going for you though?

>>5374 Not popular, but i think hockey would exist. It's a sport that would lend itself well to aura. Fights included

The jump to positive temperatures came at the cost of rain today here. Good morning everybody >>5392 As mentioned. Day's looking to be alright, got my schedule adjusted so that I wake up way earlier than my alarm... and get suspicious at how much uninterrupted rest I get, lol >>5388 Being a bird as a person, he of course knows cold is bad for birdies. >>5387 Fucking hell, aside from therapy and scolding do liberal Americans even know anything else *to* write?

>>5394 Very nice! Sorry to make you repeat yourself. >Suspicious at How much uninterrupted rest i get that happens to me too sometimes. But my dog usually takes care of waking me up before i get a full 8 hours

>>5390 >Volleyball Absolutely mauled by Kentucky I'm afraid.

>>5393 >Hockey I could see it, do you think Jaune has a shot at surpassing Wayne Gretzki's PPG average? Would symblance use be allowed?

>>5398 >huntsman Hockey Already as busted as the one time Canada let state troopers play. Lmao >Semblances allowed If Blake's shadow teleportation takes the puck with her, she's unstoppable. Maybe only Ruby coukd get it out of her hands. unofficialadamtaurus on tumblr is pretty familiar with both hockey and Adam - he pictured the goatboi as a goalie. Have to say I like the notion.

>>5398 Possibly, gretzky was the goat though. Maybe, there would probably be a semblance and no semblance league

>>5400 What's the original pic of this?

>>5407 Only ever seen that one. Don't have an answer for you, sorry

I love her lots and lots How's everyone?

>>5416 Looking for a decent RWBY wallpaper to try out on a retro machine

>>5418 I offer you this

>>5419 Works for me. Have to crop it at 640 x 480 though

>>5421 Now that's retro. What machine? I'm getting flashbacks of playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 on Windows XP.

>>5400 >>5407 >>5409 It looks like that border crosser comic, except instead of the southern border it's monsters using portals or something

>>5422 Wii with Windows NT via homebrew https://github.com/Wack0/entii-for-workcubes

>>5424 >Windows on the Wii My nuts recoiled in fear of the phantom pain I felt reading that. >>5423 Thank you!

>>5425 It's actually not bad since its running on actual hardware & not emulation like DOSBOX

>>5426 There is that, at least. Could you run Grimm Eclipse on it, you reckon?

>>5427 >Grimm Eclipse <needs windows 7 for minimum OS <4GB RAM <DirectX 11 >Windows NT on Wii <77MB RAM <DirectX 5 It can only do Win3.1x games

Finally home and free!

>>5429 Not anymore, fauner. /Ourgeneral/ ordered (You) to be sent to the gulags.

>>5425 Looks like I was right then

>>5428 >Grimm Eclipse can only run on Win 7 On one hand that's based, on the other inconvenient.

>>5430 I'm gonna have to decline, doesn't sound comfy

>>4938 It seems that this post has been proven correct; that thread is dead as fuck, so clearly it's just gay rage-bait that the poster isn't truly into because they're a cuck but just because they wanna make people mad. LMAO, Jaune rules.

>>5436 Pretty much. Its usually about other people not about what they themselves like. If it wasn't such a bad fetish I might even feel bad for them because clearly to satisfy it they're required to either put themselves at risk of a ban by intentionally antagonizing other people or just fishing for reactions all day.

>>5430 I forgot about this being in the comics, which one is this from? >>5429 Is that Raven x Jaune? or Raven x Mercury?The shoulder-armor and hair-style is throwing me off. I don't think I've ever seen the latter (what would it even be called? Metal Bird?) But for Jaune/Raven (KnightWing) it's pretty uncommon too, even fewer are decent depictions (in fanfiction and fan-art) and even fewer aren't just smut or crack.

>>5438 Its from the 2019 RWBY comic, you can get the torrent from RWBYg Also I'm not sure if that is Jaune but it does seem to be Raven.

>>5436 Kinda hard to spam and shitpost on an anchored thread and with clear rules that make shitting in other threads have clear consequences. >>5437 >feel bad for them Fishing for reactions is one thing, shitposting is part of imageboards, but spamming is a different level of 'tism. >>5439 It has to be Raven because of the "not my dad" and the lack of Cat Ears for it to be Blake. >2019 comic I thought it might be, the art-style is fairly recognizable.

>>5437 Makes you wonder what prompts this sort of posting. Rage-bait is older than the internet, especially racial rage-bait, but in a show where almost no actual black characters exist (Flynt Coal is the only definitive Africanesque one) it's kinda strange. Then again, I'm looking for logic in shitposting so it's an exercise in futility. >pic fatallyobsessed has some bangers.

>>5419 Finally got it cropped. Windows NT 4.0 technically didn't have TrueColor by default unless a driver for it was installed, so the most it could have back then was 256 colors which is better than the 16 colors windows 3.1 had. The Wii homebrew port though has TrueColor so it's a non-issue unless the older programs demand they be ran in that color mode. Observe the two pics uploaded and notice the difference between Jaune's face.

>>5443 >bmps didn't upload Guess they're not supported on the site. Here's the pics

Idle thought: Time Travel Jaune unintentionally causing Willow to go through character development paralleling Haru's from Persona 5, where she starts taking a more active role at SDC and removing the need for her father to arrange her marriage to Jacques.

>>5448 You've been binge-playing Persona again haven't you? That or reading Coeur. >>5444 >444 Checked. bmp files are very niche so I don't think they upload (yet). May come in a future update however.

>>5449 I actually need to FINISH a Persona playthrough, honestly... I know a lot of the plot via osmosis and memes. But I can also imagine that it's going to kick off a Back to the Future plot, too. Jacques not marrying Willow means Winter and Weiss aren't born. (And Whitley as well, i suppose.) Thus Jaune has to go back and ensure the two still hook up even if Willow is now having a much stronger position in the company.

>>5441 >almost no actual black characters exist (Flynt Coal is the only definitive Africanesque one) it's kinda strange. Found some black characters in the background, although characters is pushing it.

Good morning! Stop killing games hit 1 million signatures in the EU, hopefully the retards in that government actually vote yes on it.

Morning all >>5457 The only thing an EU commission can do is advise one country's government to take one course of action or another. Do hope they follow through, though, they're one of the few bodies on the planet that can just up and tell corps to comply or be banned from the market.

>>5441 He can do some hot sets for sure

>>5461 He never does a good one of my lovely wife, she's only ever eclipsed by other characters.

Blake after playing Marvel Rivals once (She thinks SG is good Faunus representation)

>>5462 Real. I only really like the wholesome stuff he does

>>5463 >Blake vs porn Venom Who cooms more, Blake or the audience?

>>5465 Blake, she is a big degenerate and would love Horse Venom

>>5464 I do remember he made a shot where Wooby was in a farm suit and grinning like he knocked her up last night and she's still riding the high of how nasty they fucked. Said pic is on my PC, otherwise it would be attached Somehow porn proportions do still work well for his cute shots, I'll agree

To share a dumb thought I had elsewhere: RWBY Persona AU, with Jaune having Don Quixote as his initial persona.

>>5468 Does it become Jeanne D'Arc or Arthur when it evolves at rank 10?

>>5469 I'll fully admit that I hadn't planned it out in my head, though I'd lean slightly more towards Jeanne D'Arc. The initial idea came when I remembered a discussion I had during the Jaune Quest about character Persona affiliations. One idea being that both Jaune and Ruby were The Fool in their personal stories, but served as The Magician to each other. It just struck me earlier that Don Quixote might be a good match for Jaune in this context, being someone who believes he's a knight and is putting himself in situations he's not qualified for. Not unlike Jaune sneaking into Beacon using forged transcripts. Either Jeanne or Arthur would both be good evolutions, fully aware of the dangers but still putting themselves in danger for the right reasons.

>>5470 Oh nice. In a p3 femc or mc scenario I'd give Juane Don Quixote if he's the fool and Gawain if he's the Magician. A large part of the Magician's journey is one of growth into maturity, which fits well with Gawain who starts as an immature novice who's overly eager but inexperienced.

>>5471 Giving Jaune Gawain in this context would also allow us to make use of Cardin as his 'Green Knight' in a way. Not a straight forward example, perhaps... unless we want to make use of Velvet for this as well? Of course, this presumes a lot.

Velvet Room can 100% come into play here, especially if only a select few members of the cast will be getting Personas. Cardin can definitely represent the Green Knight in both a metaphorical sense and a literal one if Demons/Shadows are brought into play,

>>5473 Well, I easily imagine the Velvet Room playing a large part because I do imagine Jaune being a wild card. But I was more speaking of Velvet being the Lord's wife who first attempts to seduce Gawain only to give him a kiss instead before ultimately giving him the sash meant to save him from harm on the final day. Naturally, in this potential Social Link, Velvet is unlikely to actually attempt to seduce Jaune but maybe she might still be attempting to give him an unfair advantage in the final encounter with Cardin?

>>5474 >Bnuuy gets revenge by giving Jaune a training arc FUND IT!

>>5475 It does make a fair amount of sense, doesn't it? Velvet might've gotten held back in certain subjects and needed to make them up, she's still from a class year higher then Jaune. She might very well have access to combat classes, references and texts that neither Jaune nor Cardin has access to. Even if she's too meek to confront Cardin directly, she can train Jaune to do it for her... which might be a part of her own storyline, where Jaune has to help her learn to assert herself. Though I can't immediately think of something she could give him that would qualify as an unfair advantage on the scale of 'invincibility to all damage' sash.

>>5477 I'd give Velvet the Moon then, not a persona user herself but still a good friend Also because Bnuuy and the Moon Though she could have Kaguya

For me it'd be Jaune - The Fool Ruby - The Magician Blake - The High Priestess Glynda - The Empress Ozpin - The Emperor Pyrrha - The Chariot Yang - Strength Nora and Ren - The Lovers Qrow - The Hierophant Weiss - The Hermit Velvet - The Moon At least within Beacon. The others seem a bit harder to pick from.

>>5478 Kaguya might be a good fit, but in the base setting she's a bit... tangential to Team RWBY and team JNPR. Unless some story beats happen to allow it, Velvet might be Social Link bait for The Moon.

>>5480 Ina Persona style AU there should be a much stronger grip on the school cast rather then... Whatever the hell the plot had going for it with the cast. The Journey of the Fool is much less physical than it is spiritual, and doesn't actually have to leave the hub of the setting which is Beacon or Vale. Characters like Velvet, Sun, Penny should all graduate from their side character roles if they become either party members or Social Link/Confidants.

>>5479 Adding to this but Sun - The Sun Penny - The Star Both seem like they'd be good fits for the roles involved

>>5482 Good pun with his name, but as a person Sun's a better fit for The Fool than Jaune is. I'd give Strength to him, and give The Sun to Yang.

>>5481 A true enough statement, the Social Links would allow us to explore of lot of the lesser utilized characters. That said, usually the max character roster for a Persona game is in the realm between 6-8, right? The core two teams have enough, unless we're deliberately sidelining someone? As an aside, someone in the slop thread on the old site questioned what the base plot would be. I'd taken a stab at someone using this AU's version of the Collective Unconscious to carry out the old Mantle plan of suppressing individuality and creativity as a way of countering the Grimm. But I'm not too attached to the idea. >>5483 Honestly, and this is me clinging to the idea from back during Jaune Quest, my idea was to give The Strength to Cinder. But the gimmick would be that unlike any other Social Link, she starts off with her card in reverse because she's already been perverted away from the positive interpretation of the card. A fair amount of effort would be needed to get her to the point of having a normal Social Link.

Aight. I'm gonna take the fact that someone on /trash/ posted my old "Adam Origin Story" paint.net picture as bi-annual stop following /rwbyg/-point. See you fellas in 6 months. >I quit my job, I'm no longer OSHA.

>>5474 That pic is awesome! Can we get some more character action poses?

>>5483 >but as a person Sun's a better fit for The Fool than Jaune is More like he'd be another good Magician But the Sun represents positivity, fun, warmth, success and the inner child. Many of those traits are perfect for Sun as a character

>>5484 Persona 5 Royal had 10 party members by the end actually
