COLD OPEN:
Clip of me calling Watts’ jacket ugly from Chapter 1 reaction. Watts showing up with new jacket this episode. Leave it to Watts to be super metatextually spiteful… but seriously, THAT JACKET IS FABULOUS.
INTRO / OVERALL THOUGHTS:
While this was a much slower episode than Chapter 1, it was still necessary for setting up the rest of the volume’s story. We have a clear goal, along with an undercurrent of darkne...

While not the best premiere RWBY has had thus far, “The Greatest Kingdom” is a great setup for the issues within Mantle and planting seeds for future conflicts, while also throwing our characters into the fray and putting them on the path towards their new mission, and last but not least, giving us a… pleasant but unfortunat...

I did a thingy. It's garbage I love it.
2019-04-25 00:04:22 +0000 UTC View PostINTRO:
Whatever your opinions on Volume 6, most of the fandom seems to be in agreement that the best part of it all lies within the first half - most notably, Chapters 4 through 6: the Brunswick Arc. Brunswick Farms. (Volume 6 Chapter 4)
Seemingly rooted in the lore of Sleepy Hollow, when we were all first introduced to this mysterious town after the Giant Lore Dump, people went right to work on theories of what could be awaiting our heroes here. That it ...
2019-04-18 00:17:25 +0000 UTC View Post[gen:LOCK ad]. “How so, Monica Rial? We still have no context!” [Footage stops, like VHS footage. Muffled.]Yeah, for a show that had as much star power and big money backing as it did, being produced by both Rooster Teeth Animation and Michael Jordan’s Outlier Society Productions - yes, he has a production studio, oddly enough - gen:LOCK’s marketing campaign was, uh… not the best.
Ya know, RWBY might be a mess, but it at le...

I've made some title cards for the sections of WNTARA. Lemme know what you guys think. There's also a vote for an alternate version of the Adam one, btw.

I'm currently working on title cards for the major sections of "We Need to Talk About RWBY... Again." I'm a bit torn between different versions of one I made for Adam and I need some input. What do you guys prefer?
2019-03-31 19:09:04 +0000 UTC View PostINTRODUCTION:
Volume 1 was Innocence, Volume 2 was Maturity, Volume 3 was Fall, and Volume 5 was Choice. Volume 4’s core theme, in this strain of logic, is Grief. To deal with the pain of loss and trauma, whether that be in accepting reality and moving onward, or wallowing in the negativity and allowing it to fester til you resolve to repeat your mistakes. And for this volume in particular, it can be applied not only to the characters, but to CRWBY as well given everything they had to...
2019-03-26 21:27:14 +0000 UTC View PostCreating is hard. You have an idea. You shape and sculpt that idea. And then you show that idea to the world, gambling whether people absolutely adore your work, or take the work and shove it down your [censor] as they scream “[censor] you [censor] you’re such a [censor].” And nine times out of ten, it’s a mix of these things.
But it takes an extraordinary amount of courage to put yourself out there and offer yourself up to the wor...
2019-03-23 00:33:45 +0000 UTC View PostYep! I'm doing a retrospective on RWBY Volume 4 on its core theme of Grief. So for now, please enjoy my psycho notes. I am tired.

So I'm working on "We Need to Talk About RWBY... Again," and I had an idea.
One of my major points is that while the show is imperfect, it's still brought a lot of joy and happiness to so many people, and that outweighs any problems the show might suffer from, whether from good or bad faith criticism.
The idea is to ask people to submit their own stories as to how they got into RWBY - their honest thoughts on the show and the situation - and why they still enjoy ...
2019-03-13 00:32:48 +0000 UTC View PostSo as most of you have probably known, I've been planning on releasing a series of video essays detailing the controversies surrounding RWBY and Volume 6. However, I have decided to compress most of these issues into a single video. After this, I'll be broadening my content to video essays on media as a whole, ideally on whatever piques my interest.
So for now, please enjoy this outline I've prepared for the video. This is very much subject to change, as I literally just typed this enti...
2019-03-11 21:16:10 +0000 UTC View PostGASP. A POST. I know, shocking.
So I 've taken the week off from YouTube because my mind is screaming from the fandom, so to tide y'all over enjoy some tidbits for a new book idea I've had: working title is Crystal Heart (Or The Girl with a Crystal Heart).
This is a fantasy story set in a world called Obsidia, completely created from glass, rock, and stone. Even the flora and fauna is made from living, mystical crystal. The only biological creatures on the plane...
