    A couple of things I've noticed about myself when it comes to writing and discussing stories: First, I think a lot more people care about romance in their stories than I do, which is perfectly fine. Personally, though, I've interacted so much media where a perfectly good story was undermined by...

    A random, and probably rather out-there, idea I had for Blake: what if Blake Belladonna isn't actually her real name? What if her real first name is Bell, and she has a completely different surname? The reason for this would be that she's actually the daughter of Menagerie's ruling family...

    Personally, I agree that neither Jaune nor Pyrrha needed to die, and my reasoning has very little to do with Arkos. I just think Pyrrha's death was poorly handled and, honestly, rather pointless. The more I compare it to other fictional sacrifices, the less I think it works. A big example for...

    My interpretation of Jaune's backstory is a little more out there, but I've always liked the idea that he suffers from some form of amnesia. It could explain why he seems to lack knowledge of certain things and why he rarely talks about his past. There's also a lot you could do with that...

    This question is mainly directed at AJ Talon, but I'm curious: if Jaune had to describe each member of his family using just five words or short phrases, what would he say about them? Yes, they're his family, and he loves them, but I'm sure their relationships aren't always sunshine and...

    fair i just did it to explain why Weiss got over her anger so easily and also it does fit Weiss as a character not to mention spite and anger does do a lot i have seen cases where people will make up scenarios in there head even with other people there if those people don't help and tell them to...

    This is probably a completely out-of-left-field take, and I know it sounds a little crazy, but I've always wondered whether there's another way to interpret the whole flirting and guitar incident between Jaune and Weiss. What if Weiss made some of it up, or at least exaggerated what happened...

    I Think Team RWBY Are Poor Protagonists, but Ruby Had Potential This might be a controversial opinion, but I honestly think Team RWBY are rather poor protagonists as a collective. The problem isn't necessarily that Weiss, Blake, and Yang are bad characters or that they don't have interesting...

    One thing that has started to bother me about RWBY fanfiction is how often Jaune gets made the butt of the joke. Not because I think he should be immune to criticism or that he can never be used for comedy, but because, at this point, I feel like the joke has long since run its course. There are...

    Okay, so here's a question about RWBY that I've never been able to get a straight answer to: why did the whole Jaune pursuing Weiss storyline feel so out of left field, almost as if it had been crammed into the story? The strangest part is that the moment the show had the opportunity to move...

    Something I've wondered about in RWBY is whether Ozpin eventually gave up. What I mean is, perhaps he spent so long trying to stop Salem that he eventually grew tired of the whole situation and gave up on his mission. At some point, he created the Maidens, but then another calamity occurred, and...
