...Sorry, but this is where you lost me.
In your take of Ironwood, you presented an overall positive view of him, with his worst parts in the show being the fault of the writers. Here, you immediately jumped to team RWBY being awful in and of themselves, with the writers being incidental to...
Don't mind me, you guys go on ahead. The different viewpoints are interesting, especially the narrative vs realist takes.
But on that one point above?
If someone is going to excuse the flaws of their most favorite character as bad writing by the show's writers, then it's also fair practice to...
Happy you enjoyed it 😁
What they did with the channeler trident exemplifies how they're handling loot they don't see a need for at a given moment: squirrel them away in safe places along the route back to the portal.
Thanks for reading!
I do very much enjoy the dark souls games, sooo...

Threadmarks: Chapter 17: Jaune and Tattletale Want to Ring that Bell
The heat of the furnace cast the room in a warm glow, almost unbearably so. The steady clang-clang of a hammer striking metal was accompanied by the occasional growl coming from the direction of the stairs leading below, and a shaking as something large prowled around. Were one to descend those...
Threadmarks: Chapter 16: The Ups and Downs of a Lordran Adventure
The sword stabbed through the Hollow's chest. Jaune left it there to step past the falling body, and kicked its ally, a strong blow to send the zombie soldier into the air. Solaire was there in the next moment to cleave the body in two.
Jaune pulled on the sword, extracting it as he continued...
Oh hey, you struck on the same conclusion I first had.
Aura ritual draws the soul outward. The Darksign might be keeping the fragments of the Dark Soul contained. A bit of that getting out to run wild is how you get Abyss everywhere. So Jaune tries to pass Aura on to Solaire, and dies as he...
Threadmarks: Chapter 15: A Study in Jolly Cooperation
With great care, Jaune tipped the teaspoon in his hand to dole out drops of a glowing, viscous blue liquid into the wristbow's fuel chamber. Once it reached full, he returned the excess whale oil to its container, then screwed the little fuel tank back into place on the contraption, sealing the...
I did actually enjoy your review, as you were on point in capturing a part of Jaune as he is now. He simply isn't ready for the situation that he is put in. But,
as Desu-vult perfectly encapsulated, this is the beginning chapters of this journey, and it is a story told time and again in both...
Understandable. Tattletales aren't for everyone.
It helps when you don't think of her as the worst thing that could have happened to Jaune, but as the worst thing that could have happened to Jaune, so far.
See, not so bad now, is she? Downright cute, really.
Yup.
I'm not familiar with the nitty-gritty of Nasuverse, but probably. It's a trope seen quite a few times with long-lived and disconnected beings in fiction.
They have not interacted yet.
If I write it? Unbridled curiosity, followed by amusement and a mild derision at the futility of what the...
Hehe. The deaths she knows about are always on the other side of the screen. Always 'far off' so she can put it out of mind. It's easier to ignore then. Not so much when Jaune's going choppity chop in front of her face.
Everything about the situation was still within the realm of her...
Threadmarks: Chapter 14: We Quell the Rebellion for Queen and Country
Whatever fate befell the Pendleton brothers, Jaune never found out.
Were they strung up in front of the brothel guests as an example for enemies of the crown? Perhaps, they simply suffered unfortunate accidents, dead via a scalding blast of steam in the Baths or a bad supply in the hookah pipes...
He thinks they're friends, and they barely think of him at all. This is the case for all male characters beside Jax Darkphenix, due to a Skill effect mentioned in chapter 2 that affected people's minds.
Team JNPR is his primary motivator. Team RWBY, not as much now that he threw off the Skill...
Thanks for reading! It all depends on the world the characters find themselves in, and the brighter worlds will have a chirpier mood, though I must admit a certain fondness for those melancholic 'the world is sad, but you and I will make our own happiness' scenes whenever I see them.
He did ask...
Threadmarks: Chapter 13: We Go to Whorehouses for Queen and Country (Part 2)
Within the city of Dunwall, the Golden Cat existed as a world apart.
Grandiose. Gaudy. In your face. The mansion rejected the utilitarian concept prevalent throughout the surrounding neighborhoods in favor of bright colors and curving walls, domed rotundas and the nouveau styles. Parts of it...
