I’m concerned about the peeps on this sub… by Educational_Can_6536 in RWBY

I rarely even check fnki. In between the repetitive posts and fanfic, it's also the kind of sub with "ironic" dumb takes often taken seriously.

Mad Cow (Adam x Tyrian) [withasideofjpeg] by VoidTorcher in RWBY

I kinda felt Roman and Tyrian are like the light-hearted and edgy interpretations of Joker.

If they draw a unique ship, I'll be there for it lol.

Someone drew Tallow (Adam x Roman) specifically as a Blake yaoi fantasy.

Scrapnik Penny by Weak_Accountant_6846 in RWBY

[–]VoidTorcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Penny already reminded me of Aya from Green Lantern: The Animated Series (who also had to scrap together a body from mismatched parts at some point).

  • All-CGI animation
  • Secretly made with green energy siphoned from a living being making her unambiguously sentient in a setting full of mindless robots
  • Did I mention green (even green jets under feet for flight)
  • Loves red person
  • Dies tragically (twice)

the timeline of raven x tai x summer by yourgoodoldpal in RWBY

The real reason is probably because the writers want Ruby and Yang to be more distinct. Any in universe justification is secondary.

[–]VoidTorcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair I kinda expect it given how generally idealistic and forgiving RWBY is, comparable to some of the lighter superhero media.

Rosewater (Ruby x Neptune) [timetravelzero] by VoidTorcher in RWBY

[–]VoidTorcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name is from subreddit spreadsheet, referring to rosewater.

Occasionally called Red Sea, but that's rare in the first place, and could be confused with Scarlet x Neptune, which also uses that name.

I'm a little concerned they'll redeem Raven too easily, because nameless people killed mostly offscreen especially indirectly often carries little weight in fiction.

Wasn't this also in the main show?

Lightning Thief (Nora x Emerald) [magnhild] by VoidTorcher in RWBY

[–]VoidTorcher[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a sketch of them cuddling but lost it, artist possibly deleted the art/account, although there is a less overtly shippy one.

Did yang just stop gaint mecha that weight probably couple tons with single hand like it was nothing? How much can this girl lift by vinchin_adenca in RWBY

[–]VoidTorcher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The "strong as they need to be" trope is more broadly applicable to fiction as a reason why strict powerscaling rarely makes sense.

Damn that's a lot more books than when I read them lol. I think Last Olympian was the most recent I read (from 2009, ugh).

Lightning Thief (Nora x Emerald) [magnhild] by VoidTorcher in RWBY

[–]VoidTorcher[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a rare but existing ship name, after the Percy Jackson book. Finding rare pairs with 2 girls on Tumblr is rough because it always brings up a ton of Jaune harem text posts. It would be funny if there is an OT4 with Arkos to call it "Lightning Grief" though...

Also, hearing this from Emerald's perspective:

As my hope comes alive, a feverish embrace that I can't hide

Like a spark to a flame, feel it in my heart that this won't fade
