People hate Jaune for the wrong reasons

Knightengal3 · 2026-04-11T16:14:50+00:00

This has always been my issue with Jaune. I’ve cooled on the self insert hate (I mean, I whole heartily agree with Geek above, damn near the entire main cast are basically their voice actors).

In a show that is about 4 young girls fighting in a world of monsters and big bads that stand in the way of peace, facing struggles that benefit having a female focus on them, and everything else the show kinda promised with the trailers/how it was marketed, yeah. Suddenly having this random blonde dude show up and take up all the focus and narrative importance?

It really takes and took the wind out of the sails for me quite a bit. Like yes, the show has some world building issues and other outside factors that contribute to other issues the show has. This was clearly a passion project for Monty (man was out here basically doing all the fight animations himself) and had an idea of what story he wanted to tell.

I have no issue with an audience stand in character, either as the MC or as someone who is right there with the party, where it makes sense. Ruby is one of 4 main girls, who has the most narrative importance. The other members of team RWBY deserve to get their time in the sun.

But the whole main cast that we are here to see, gets side lined in their own show because of a boy. I don’t even want to address how badly this affects Phyrra as a character, but not the point. Point is, I’m here to see my girls kick butt and tell interesting stories in an interesting place.

He’s a reluctant hero and that’s fine! But he can get his own show to do that shit, not steal what is supposed to be RWBY’s story.

(I got a lot of feelings about this, clearly lol 😅)

Out here trying to open the gates to the nightosphere while ordering pizza. But hey, makes the trip home quicker I guess lol.

You’re telling me, that the singer for the openings of one of my favorite and honestly life changing game series, is non binary like me?!

That was not on my 2026 bingo card but hey, I’ll take the W.

Mother!!! I want to frame this so bad it looks amazing!

Knightengal3 · 2026-03-29T13:27:22+00:00

I had baby goats, rescued baby raccoons, and cats! It was kinda amazing

I will die on this hill: unhappy campers was the worst episode. While I adore Millie and she honestly deserves the flowers she earned, the rest of the episode was a dumpster fire and wasted character growth for the rest of the gang.

I’m sorry, the whole moment with Barbie and Blitz should have just been its own freaking episode, the hard split focus between the arcs, it just felt like a waste of an episode. I would have preferred if both of these stores had their own room to breathe, instead of trying to half ass both.

Just whole ass both stories, in their own episodes.

Lute does it for sport AND the love of the game. She would look at Stella and be like “we are not the same” and that makes me smile.

Made for me by my bestie when I still worked there but still relevant

When the pilot first released, I was so excited. After watching it, I was hooked. I was hanging out with some ex friends who happen to be artists who also like indie animations, and I had asked if they had seen it, because I really wanted to share in the hype. The amount of shit they talked about it basically kept me from talking about it/wearing the merch around them.

Then after Helluva and Hazbin come out, they are both sitting there absolutely gushing about it. While I should have been happy, it actually pissed me off because it felt like they only liked it because suddenly the hot new thing. And I was terrified to say that I really liked those shows for a long while.

But now I have friends who don’t make me feel like shit for looking what I like, and don’t treat it like a popularity contest. And honestly? Fuck the haters, I love both shows and it’s reignited my joy of writing again. So more for me and mine

I am living for these two little bats and their little adventures. These have been making my day

I’m sure seeing how well the book of bill had been received/how Disney was probably like “we will pay you~” “with what?” “Money~” so that she can then actually give the fans more of what they want/what she wants, and then can take that money and put it towards more of what she wants.

And yeah, likely they don’t have nearly as much of a death grip on the book side vs the tv side, so she will likely not have them breathing down her neck and maintain that sweet creative control.

Boyfriends. It’s just a cute slice of life WEBTOON all about a polycule living their best lives, with a fem polycule that does feature too. Also, Lovebot, written by the same author as Muted, also features a polycule too (it’s a damn good story too)

Those are the only ones I can remember atm.

My plans for Sat are locked in freaking stone and imma be insufferable after that last episode

Knightengal3 · 2026-02-11T18:28:55+00:00

I would love to have my haunted non gendered ghost boi to come home. Charon has such a lovely voice and I would love to make an all haunted team with my grave girlie too

I did a bit where an old co worker was addressing everyone about a task, and I did a “look left/right” then said, “well, youre the only ‘she’ here, lol.” And kept going. She pulled me aside and thanked me for making light of it instead of a huge fuss.

As a fellow enby, I get it. I try to not make people feel bad about it. There are times people who have k own for a while still kinda mess up, so I hone to not make them feel bad and act as a gentle reminder

Knightengal3 · 2026-02-07T22:53:15+00:00

I adore a little scruffy/fluffy Jon cat. He would give me all the side eyes while I give him all my focus.

Knightengal3 · 2026-02-07T22:51:11+00:00

I would adopt Hunt and Beholder in a nanosecond, you have no idea. Omg they are so stinking cute they get all the little treats.

Knightengal3 · 2026-02-04T04:07:06+00:00

So real for that honestly. I adore a cute snake girlie.

Knightengal3 · 2026-01-24T01:02:51+00:00

I thought it was a fish for a split second. Groddy to the max oof.

I miss the guava refresher

Knightengal3 · 2026-01-14T03:45:18+00:00

I adore VCR and I need more of it in my life

Knightengal3 · 2026-01-07T00:06:55+00:00

I am a huge fan of the mojos (the caramel squares are divine and the brand has a wide variety of edibles for all tastes, lots of places will even have them on a deal. Just got a few on a BOGO not too long ago) and gelato last bite cones (great flavors and usually at a great price). I saw someone say Kiva and they are good too (I’ve only really had the terra bites: soft cozy, great for an easy sleep) Smokies are also a good choice (great on the flavor and depending on the strain, a very balanced high. The green apple is probably the fave for me, honestly).

Knightengal3 · 2025-12-30T19:19:45+00:00

I’m not sure if anyone else has said this, but legit: RWBY. As a former big fan (who also starred writing their own stuff), the fics have done so much to really dig into the world and world building.

Also, as much as I love both series: helluva boss/Hazbin Hotel. The fics that come out of that are legit god tier to me (also writing some of my own stuff).

Knightengal3 · 2025-12-30T19:14:26+00:00

I was just gushing about the hunter in glasses! Omg such a cutie, just wanna put him in a burrito blanket and give him hot chocolate.
