[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

[SharkCultist]

So a little explanation for how that last snip came to be. Really it was just caused by two small changes.

Pyrrha still got fatally shot, she just didn't get ashed.

Ruby's silver light blast actually killed cinder.

So we have a dying Pyrrha suddenly getting hit with the maiden powers. Along with it dragging the Grimm parasite essence into her soul.

That's what twisted and fucked her up.

If I'm being honest? I do like some Adam Redemption Fics. And not just because Blake is such an annoying hypocrite verging on being a Mary Sue in the later volumes.

But because I think he could have been more complex. More interesting than just a one-note obsessive incel.

So! How would you redeem Adam Taurus?

Have him mostly focused on the organization that directly wronged him aka the SDC.

That would be a good start

Have him hit literal rock bottom. Kicked out of the white fang for how much heat he's bringing. Shunned by faunus. Make him rely on the kindness of a human.

Amnesia plot line

Double Agent Route/ order vs chaos

Spoiler: word vomit

learn of the Grimm Cult wanting global Genicide using his forces and have him only work with them to learn of there operations, if the location of these operatives were to be destroyed by 3rd parties like the SIC[light novel the session] the crown [light novel after the fall] and the spiders who know magic is real [light novel roman holiday and boardgame villain] by information getting out through Faunus all over Remnant who could guess Adam the defacto leader of the White Fang was a double Agent

Give him Silver Eyes [his symbol still bugs me] and an even BIGGER Ego that latch on to 'his' divine clan being hunted by lesser scum and protect Ruby but still kill anyone that gets in his way... also anti hero Adam giving a shovel speech to a confused Jaune/Penny/Whitley corpse is hilarious

If I were running RWBY, I would... Use my future knowledge to get rich enough to support the show and keep creative control. Assuming that? I would extend out the series length and get Monty hired help while keeping things professional, etc. And keep the VAs off the official Twitter and away from Tumbler.

But after all that? I would put together a plan and focus on alternating serialized episodes with episodes that were part of the larger story Arcs. So here are some episodes I would include in a revised Volume 2:

-"Honey Bunny"

Cardin approaches Jaune and Nora for help in apologizing to Velvet. Nora believes Cardin is secretly tsundere for Velvet and with Jaune's help they stage various love confession scenarios for Cardin, who also misunderstands things. Nora admits after a big failure that leaves Cardin, Jaune, Velvet and Coco all mad that she is trying out ideas to confess to Ren and get things across. Her sincerity inspires Cardin (to get away from these weirdos if nothing else) to just go up to Velvet and apologize sincerely. Velvet accepts it and asks him to take her to the dance as recompense since she's impressed with all his efforts. Cardin accepts, though like a tsundere. Inspired by this, Nora asks Ren to the dance and he accepts (though he's still not being lovey dovey). Jaune tries asking Weiss out like this... And she shoots him down, though a bit more compassionate since Neptune already asked. Jaune is in despair.

-"Silver Eyes"

Ruby watches a training fight between team CRDL and Team BRNZ. BRNZ narrowly pulls out a win thanks to May Zedong's shooting and tactics but her team blows her off immediately after. Seeing May is depressed, Ruby reaches out to her. They bond over shooting, guns, and comics. As well as how difficult their teams are. May admits she's not officially the leader but the others won't step up, Brawnz especially. Ruby attempts to help her by trying to make her more assertive, but this goes badly. Ruby then just tries to beat up May's team, but May finally loses her temper with Ruby. It doesn't help Ruby has also bossing her around. Ruby gets some advice from Yang: You can't force people to change. But you can incentize them. Ruby goes back to May and helps her stand up to her team, and doesn't take over. Just backs her up. May and her team reconcile a bit. Ruby learns a lesson about friendship and leadership and has a new friend in May... Who tells her about her Semblance allowing her to see Aura and about the legend of the Silver Eyes Warriors. Ruby begins to wonder about her own eyes.

So, what do you think?

All the yes. It shows that characters are growing instead of shoehorning them into situations in which copious amounts of Plot Armor and Squibmunition is used to explain the story.

Instituting growth in a main character by putting them in a situation that makes them think and empathize with another group? AND A PLOT HOOK?

What Heresy is this?!
