Nope, according to the book, Sun was just an impulsive and selfish guy who'd never commit to a good cause before accompanying Blake. He wouldn't care about these children and people going missing. As Coco explains, Sun had a habit of attaching himself to far better teams in order to make up for his and his team's mediocrity.
I knew the "book" shat on Sun, but holy shit this author legitimately hates this character. Is it because he kills the god awful ship...its because he kills the god awful ship.
 
Vacuo is a constantly shifting city
SSSN still suck
Scarlet is pissy
Sun is only now interested in helping people because Blake made him a better person
Velvet's father was an elite Atlas scientist who didn't have enough free time for her
Coco is a cunt towards people who lost their siblings
What in the fucking fuck is the fuckery fuckenning in this fuck-all book? The author's acting like Sun made it's newborn a damn fleshlight of some horse faunus.

To make it worse, they ruin Coco. I know I'm petty but she was my best girl (It's the design, beret, awesome shades, a fucking minigun. Wife material right there). They make her a damn stereotypical Mary sue like Carol Danvers, Ma-Rey Sue, & the worst of all, Korra.

The only one left for RT to ruin is my 2nd best girl Neon Katt & I know they'll do something that'll male her a damn Mary Sue or just a turbo-cunt in general.

This is actually worse than Neptune & tumblr. At least tumblrfags killed Neptune for their yuri-fagging. This both official & worse than just killing him. Not to include a blatant fucking retcon.
 
Velvet's father was an elite Atlas scientist who didn't have enough free time for her
Isn't Atlas supposedly the country that treats Faunus like how the Belgians treated the people of the Congo? How in the fuck is her dad, who is either a faunus himself or is married to a faunus, able to be an elite scientist? Why is this series so bad at portraying racism?

I'd like to think that Papa Velvet put a seed & yeeted after getting some bunny waifu. Cause, seriously, that's the only thing that'll make it sensible.

The only other thing being him being a faunus & wearing a bowtie like V1 Blake.

Faunus only experience discrimination offscreen and only (successfully) commit terrorism offscreen.
 
It could maaaaybe work if bunny faunus were some sort of Court Jew or other minority with perks from the sovereign. That however required the showrunners to actually put some thought into muh furry racism.
Bunny faunus getting special treatment would bring depth to the whole "muh racism" depiction, but that would require effort that Beavis and Butthead can't bring.

Edited because i fucked up the code.

Double feature since Chapter 3 is pretty short.

So, as mentioned last chapter, we start off with SSSN being introduced to the Beacon Brigade, consisting of many students that defended Beacon. And as we're introduced to them, we find out that, covniently everyone from the Vital Festival is there. Outside of FNKI. What are the odds that somehow all the named characters who aren't accounted for ended up in Vacuo. I'm almost disappointed that Cardin's team isn't here.

Sun mentally expresses that he doesn't consider being 'honorary beacon student' much, he moves around a lot so he doesn't get attached to people or places. He also never liked the mentality behind Huntsman teams, making people build their identities around their academies and lose themselves in it.

Team ABRN were apparently at Haven when the White Fang attacked happened and... Didn't do anything? Wait, now that I think about it, the rest of team SSSN were at Haven as well. Where the fuck were they when the academy was being attacked?

Team BRNZ, outside of Nolan Porfirio, died during Beacon's fall; I remember this being implied, but not confirmed, in the last book.

The group discuss how the other students don't want them outsiders in their academy, including digs at ABRN for 'abandoning two academies now'. Yatsuhashi admits that it at least helps him keep focus when he leads his meditation groups with the rest of the Beacon Brigade (Sun mentions he doesn't like meditation).

Iris (and no, I don't remember who or what team she was apart of, none of them were exactly memorable) expresses some survivors guilt, that she deserves to be treated wrongly for surviving Beacon. Velvet, and others of the group, admit that they'd felt the same. Velvet explaining that Vacuo's harsh conditions make it the best place to get stronger and that, as well as she did in Beacon, this place helps her much more.

This make Iris tear up as she says that one of her teammates would have had their birthday this week, to which everyone goes on about how much they miss that teammate. Sun, however, doesn't because he doesn't actually know who Castor is and just stays quiet. I feel like the scene is trying to make this come off as Sun being callous or not taking things seriously, but I think most people in that situation would be like "Probably best to stay silent than risk giving the wrong reaction.".

Nolan repeats that he thinks he should have died at Beacon, before then jarringly jumping to saying that he must have survived for a reason. And then suddenly Sun thinks "Yeah. Because you ran away," for really no reason. I get that it's supposed to be 'He's from Vacuo and they view everyone as having to be strong!', but it doesn't mesh with his personality or have anything there to help him transition to this thought. It's even worse because we don't know about Nolan's involvement in defending Beacon. Did he actually run away? Did he get tossed aside? Did he abandon his teammates? It feels like there's a line missing.

When Nolan explains that he's not going to waste his second chance and make his life count, Sun admits he likes the message, but wants to see Nolan actually do it first. Sun decides that he really doesn't like this group, he doesn't see it as helping or moving past their trauma, he see's it as a lot of empty sentiments while being forced to speak in a convoluted and careful manner. As such, he decides that this is not for him and leave. In a vacuum, this is actually interesting and pretty good bit of character building for Sun, and it's completely understandable. Some people process their trauma differently and Sun has a good point on why this doesn't work for him.

Of course, it's dragged down because this is yet another example of why Sun sucks in the story's eye. Coco immediately says that Sun just isn't 'ready' for this, with the description making it clear this is a thinly veiled 'You're a pussy/dick.' comment. He simply says that it's not for him and that he's pretty sure they wouldn't like anything he has to say, only to be stopped by Velvet pleading for him to express himself in this 'safe space' and that they'll all understand because they're like family.'

Sun explains that, while he understands why this group was started, he thinks it's a mistake. Everyone glares at him, Nolan mocks him for 'only being here ten minutes and already figuring us out' and Neptune says that he wants to hear Sun's reasoning. First, this is a big reason why other Vacuo students are so distrustful of them, this is a group of people clinging to something long gone and refusing to move on. Velvet tries to tell him that they'be been through something that no one else can understand, which Sun rightfully points out is arrogant bullshit. Vacuo is full of constant tragedy and lost homes, but people stay because it is their home and they will never forget it even if they punish themselves with the shitty conditions.

Immediately, this switches to yelling at Sun for abandoning his team.

Scarlet stood. “You mean like you didn’t forget about us? Like you didn’t leave us the first chance you got to chase after someone you barely knew who didn’t want your help? You didn’t even stay in Vacuo for school —you chose Haven.” Scarlet flipped his bangs away from his face and glared at Sun. “You wouldn’t know anything about loss, Sun. You never stay in one place long enough to learn.”

Sun leaves, annoyed that Scarlet was airing his team's dirty laundry like that and expresses how he doesn't fully understand why Scarlet was so pissed. In his mind, his team were fine with settling back in Haven for a while, they were safe, they were fine and so he decided to do something productive and go help Blake; which if he hadn't done, Haven might have ended up like Beacon. He does not regret going after Blake. Velvet follows him and explains that she understands it doesn't have to be Sun's thing, he'll find his own way to work through it all. Sun thinks that he has nothing to work through, he just has to move on, but says he'll see her on patrol later.

This chapter is annoying, from how it treats Sun's trauma and for how it presents this therapy circle. I know that Velvet shows understanding, but considering how much shit Sun gets flung at him, it's pretty damn shitty that Coco isn't getting called out on basically going "If you don't allow yourself to be forced to deal with your grief in this specific way, you're a pussy" which is a pretty shitty thing to say in this type of environment. Sun is presented as being bone headed, tone deaf and an overall asshole (again, he's a team leader who apparently knows his team so little that he can't understand why they'd be mad he left), but he makes a solid point in this scene. This arrogant notion of their group being these special victims who went through pain that nobody else could understand, something Coco made a point of in her speech last chapter. They're Huntsman, they fight Grimm on a regular basis and the last book revealed the common and traumatizing missions even students can get sent on. Your pain isn't special, among your profession it's probably pretty common.
TL;DR
Velvet formed a therapy group for Beacon Survivors.
Outside of FNKI, all the Huntsman side characters from volume 3 are here.
Team BRNZ died during the fall of Beacon aside from the surviving member, Nolan.
Team ABRN and the rest of SSSN were at Haven when it was being attacked. No, they don't explain why none of them helped.
Sun is a dick because he didn't pretend to know someone's dead teammate, who he never met before.
Everyone has survivors guilt. To which Sun calls them cowards in his thoughts. Immeditaly.
Shade students don't trust them.
Sun tries to leave because he thinks this group is a mistake. They're not helping each other, they're not dealing with their trauma, they're just wallowing in their misery and patting each other on the back.
Coco basically calls him a pussy for wanting to leave the session. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOOD SUPPORT GROUPS DO.
Sun still doesn't understand why his team are mad at him

Coco and Fox are stalking a gambling house. Fox is complaining about how he's stuck waiting on a rooftop while Sun and Neptune get to look about the more entertaining districts. This leads to them talking about how they should have sent one of them to watch over Sun and Neptune because neither Coco or Fox trust team SSSN not to fuck everything up.

Scarlet and Sage went to guard Shade's walls because it's pretty likely that the Crown would try to go there to get their power house semblance users. Velevet and Yatsuhashi are on Grimm Watch, which is considered a low job for Huntsman? Da fuq? Isn't that literally the main point of Huntsman, to kill Grimm?

Coco, off-screen, had snuck into Rumpole's office to find anything she'd dug up on the Crown, finding a list of Grimm activity and missing person's cases linked to a club in the pits. Odd, Coco never really seemed to be the type to sneak, but whatever. Fox remembers how the girl earlier mentioned her sister disappearing at a club. Coco also mentions that the rest of her team aren't just looking for Grimm, but she was curious if maybe The Crown had a base of operations outside of the city, which just seems... Dumb? Vacuo's identity seems to revolve around how every home is moving and such, what chance does Velvet have of finding a base, even if it was still there? Oh, it's fine, because Coco is 'rarely wrong'.

Fox repeats that Coco's instincts are rarely wrong as he talks about how it's rare for Grimm to get into the city, meaning that Huntsman must be getting lazy. Their conversation is cut short as they hear a huntsman being convinced to let two thugs escort him home, guy in a green shirt and a brown pig faunas. Yeah, these are the thugs from the beginning and Fox and Coco don't know that. That's right. Velvet and Yatsuhashi know there's three thugs with very odd semblances, stalking random huntsman, and they know at least one of those thugs is connected to the missing people... And they didn't bother to give a description.

The Huntsman is led down and alleyway and immediately taken down. Apparently, this Huntsman with a powerful semblance is absolute shit at fighting. Fox alerts everybody of the situation through his telepathy and somehow Sun and Neptune, who are learning about this for the first time, instantly know how to respond.

Coco drops down to intervene and gets pissed that the thugs aren't taking her seriously. In a world where flashy teenage girls seem to be the predominantly powerful fighters, I fail to see why she would be underestimated. Everyone arrives in the alleyway. The thugs make a break for it with Fox hot on their trail, using his ability to track their aura's to follow them. And apparently Fox has a Accessibility Dialog Assistant app in his Scroll that describes his surroundings to him so he doesn't crash into anything. It's apparently pretty advanced too, he asks what's in front of him and he's told there's a tall, abandoned building that has no public records. It used to be the Mistral Trading Company before the war. There's multiple people in the building, all of them having the same aura, whcih Fox notes is a rarity.

Knowing there's a shit ton of people inside this building, all of which seem to share that invincibility cheat the thugs had at the beginning, Fox, Yatsuhashi and Velvet decide the best course of action is to just charge in. Unfortunately for them, the door is equally as durable and Yatty is unable to break it, resulting in a woman opening up a eyehole and asking for a password. They fail, but Fox quickly notes while scanning the aura's inside that one is very familiar, Professor Rumpole is in there. Of course, Coco assumes that Rumpole is investigating and that they should just leave her to work. From the kidnapped guy, who would only talk to Sun as a fellow Vacuan, that the two thugs are indeed registered Huntsman and that he'd never unlocked his own semblance.

Coco says she'll talk to Rumpole later about her findings and the chapter ends. Honestly, this chapter felt like a whole lotta nothing. We find out a few small details, but ultimately it feels like nothing really happened. They chase two thugs and the thugs get away with a lot of meaningless banter in-between. It's like any time a fight scene is ready to occur, the author is quick to cut it short.
TL;DR
Team SSSN are still the worst team ever
Team CFVY are still amazing
Coco is never wrong
Coco doesn't like being called sweetheart
Two thugs/huntsmen are stopped from kidnapping a dude with no semblance
Fox has a highly advanced app that tells him exactly whats around him, all records about buildings and all so quickly that it stops him from crashing during a chase.
An abandoned dust refinery from before the Great War seems to be where the Crown is hold up.
Team CFVY try to break down the front door despite knowing there's an army of possible enemies with some sort of invincibility quirk inside.
Professor Rumpole is inside, but Coco assumes she's just investigating.

In his mind, his team were fine with settling back in Haven for a while, they were safe, they were fine and so he decided to do something productive and go help Blake; which if he hadn't done, Haven might have ended up like Beacon. He does not regret going after Blake. Velvet follows him and explains that she understands it doesn't have to be Sun's thing, he'll find his own way to work through it all. Sun thinks that he has nothing to work through, he just has to move on, but says he'll see her on patrol later.

This chapter is annoying, from how it treats Sun's trauma and for how it presents this therapy circle. I know that Velvet shows understanding, but considering how much shit Sun gets flung at him, it's pretty damn shitty that Coco isn't getting called out on basically going "If you don't allow yourself to be forced to deal with your grief in this specific way, you're a pussy" which is a pretty shitty thing to say in this type of environment. Sun is presented as being bone headed, tone deaf and an overall asshole (again, he's a team leader who apparently knows his team so little that he can't understand why they'd be mad he left), but he makes a solid point in this scene. This arrogant notion of their group being these special victims who went through pain that nobody else could understand, something Coco made a point of in her speech last chapter. They're Huntsman, they fight Grimm on a regular basis and the last book revealed the common and traumatizing missions even students can get sent on. Your pain isn't special, among your profession it's probably pretty common.
TL;DR
Velvet formed a therapy group for Beacon Survivors.
Outside of FNKI, all the Huntsman side characters from volume 3 are here.
Team BRNZ died during the fall of Beacon aside from the surviving member, Nolan.
Team ABRN and the rest of SSSN were at Haven when it was being attacked. No, they don't explain why none of them helped.
Sun is a dick because he didn't pretend to know someone's dead teammate, who he never met before.
Everyone has survivors guilt. To which Sun calls them cowards in his thoughts. Immeditaly.
Shade students don't trust them.
Sun tries to leave because he thinks this group is a mistake. They're not helping each other, they're not dealing with their trauma, they're just wallowing in their misery and patting each other on the back.
Coco basically calls him a pussy for wanting to leave the session. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOOD SUPPORT GROUPS DO.
Sun still doesn't understand why his team are mad at him

Coco and Fox are stalking a gambling house. Fox is complaining about how he's stuck waiting on a rooftop while Sun and Neptune get to look about the more entertaining districts. This leads to them talking about how they should have sent one of them to watch over Sun and Neptune because neither Coco or Fox trust team SSSN not to fuck everything up.

Scarlet and Sage went to guard Shade's walls because it's pretty likely that the Crown would try to go there to get their power house semblance users. Velevet and Yatsuhashi are on Grimm Watch, which is considered a low job for Huntsman? Da fuq? Isn't that literally the main point of Huntsman, to kill Grimm?

Coco, off-screen, had snuck into Rumpole's office to find anything she'd dug up on the Crown, finding a list of Grimm activity and missing person's cases linked to a club in the pits. Odd, Coco never really seemed to be the type to sneak, but whatever. Fox remembers how the girl earlier mentioned her sister disappearing at a club. Coco also mentions that the rest of her team aren't just looking for Grimm, but she was curious if maybe The Crown had a base of operations outside of the city, which just seems... Dumb? Vacuo's identity seems to revolve around how every home is moving and such, what chance does Velvet have of finding a base, even if it was still there? Oh, it's fine, because Coco is 'rarely wrong'.

Fox repeats that Coco's instincts are rarely wrong as he talks about how it's rare for Grimm to get into the city, meaning that Huntsman must be getting lazy. Their conversation is cut short as they hear a huntsman being convinced to let two thugs escort him home, guy in a green shirt and a brown pig faunas. Yeah, these are the thugs from the beginning and Fox and Coco don't know that. That's right. Velvet and Yatsuhashi know there's three thugs with very odd semblances, stalking random huntsman, and they know at least one of those thugs is connected to the missing people... And they didn't bother to give a description.

The Huntsman is led down and alleyway and immediately taken down. Apparently, this Huntsman with a powerful semblance is absolute shit at fighting. Fox alerts everybody of the situation through his telepathy and somehow Sun and Neptune, who are learning about this for the first time, instantly know how to respond.

Coco drops down to intervene and gets pissed that the thugs aren't taking her seriously. In a world where flashy teenage girls seem to be the predominantly powerful fighters, I fail to see why she would be underestimated. Everyone arrives in the alleyway. The thugs make a break for it with Fox hot on their trail, using his ability to track their aura's to follow them. And apparently Fox has a Accessibility Dialog Assistant app in his Scroll that describes his surroundings to him so he doesn't crash into anything. It's apparently pretty advanced too, he asks what's in front of him and he's told there's a tall, abandoned building that has no public records. It used to be the Mistral Trading Company before the war. There's multiple people in the building, all of them having the same aura, whcih Fox notes is a rarity.

Knowing there's a shit ton of people inside this building, all of which seem to share that invincibility cheat the thugs had at the beginning, Fox, Yatsuhashi and Velvet decide the best course of action is to just charge in. Unfortunately for them, the door is equally as durable and Yatty is unable to break it, resulting in a woman opening up a eyehole and asking for a password. They fail, but Fox quickly notes while scanning the aura's inside that one is very familiar, Professor Rumpole is in there. Of course, Coco assumes that Rumpole is investigating and that they should just leave her to work. From the kidnapped guy, who would only talk to Sun as a fellow Vacuan, that the two thugs are indeed registered Huntsman and that he'd never unlocked his own semblance.

Coco says she'll talk to Rumpole later about her findings and the chapter ends. Honestly, this chapter felt like a whole lotta nothing. We find out a few small details, but ultimately it feels like nothing really happened. They chase two thugs and the thugs get away with a lot of meaningless banter in-between. It's like any time a fight scene is ready to occur, the author is quick to cut it short.
TL;DR
Team SSSN are still the worst team ever
Team CFVY are still amazing
Coco is never wrong
Coco doesn't like being called sweetheart
Two thugs/huntsmen are stopped from kidnapping a dude with no semblance
Fox has a highly advanced app that tells him exactly whats around him, all records about buildings and all so quickly that it stops him from crashing during a chase.
An abandoned dust refinery from before the Great War seems to be where the Crown is hold up.
Team CFVY try to break down the front door despite knowing there's an army of possible enemies with some sort of invincibility quirk inside.
Professor Rumpole is inside, but Coco assumes she's just investigating.
Dear lord, what dangerhair troon wrote this shit? Like seriously, did they used some dollar store Rian Johnson & Kathleen Kennedy?

My dude. I can literally go to fanfiction.net, pop open a search for my favorite RWBY stories, and they're a hundred times more engaging and entertaining than this milquetoast hate bone of a tumblr blog post.

I literally had an update for this story recently and it's a crossover between DBZ and RWBY: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12310177/1/

Or, hell, any other two bit writer on an amateur site has better writing chops because at least there's effort put into it.

I don't even like RWBY enough to give a shit about it apart from it's fan art (including lewds ofc), but I feel like even I can write better then whatever this shit is, And I hate reading anything without pictures.

Seriously, the most I've ever written is a Dragon Ball alternate timeline (or Multiverse) of my own, which always gets changed due to betterment, yet I at least try to make sure the change is not to be to jarring or out of place (even then the starting parts are incomprehensible because I was too fanficky when I started, it only gets a bit good since Cell Saga) I'm a lazy fuck, yet even I can think of doing my best while writing something.

Like seriously, you don't need to be the best writer, but at least TRY to make something comprehensive & most importantly, fun.

Double feature since Chapter 3 is pretty short.

So, as mentioned last chapter, we start off with SSSN being introduced to the Beacon Brigade, consisting of many students that defended Beacon. And as we're introduced to them, we find out that, covniently everyone from the Vital Festival is there. Outside of FNKI. What are the odds that somehow all the named characters who aren't accounted for ended up in Vacuo. I'm almost disappointed that Cardin's team isn't here.

Sun mentally expresses that he doesn't consider being 'honorary beacon student' much, he moves around a lot so he doesn't get attached to people or places. He also never liked the mentality behind Huntsman teams, making people build their identities around their academies and lose themselves in it.

Team ABRN were apparently at Haven when the White Fang attacked happened and... Didn't do anything? Wait, now that I think about it, the rest of team SSSN were at Haven as well. Where the fuck were they when the academy was being attacked?

Team BRNZ, outside of Nolan Porfirio, died during Beacon's fall; I remember this being implied, but not confirmed, in the last book.

The group discuss how the other students don't want them outsiders in their academy, including digs at ABRN for 'abandoning two academies now'. Yatsuhashi admits that it at least helps him keep focus when he leads his meditation groups with the rest of the Beacon Brigade (Sun mentions he doesn't like meditation).

Iris (and no, I don't remember who or what team she was apart of, none of them were exactly memorable) expresses some survivors guilt, that she deserves to be treated wrongly for surviving Beacon. Velvet, and others of the group, admit that they'd felt the same. Velvet explaining that Vacuo's harsh conditions make it the best place to get stronger and that, as well as she did in Beacon, this place helps her much more.

This make Iris tear up as she says that one of her teammates would have had their birthday this week, to which everyone goes on about how much they miss that teammate. Sun, however, doesn't because he doesn't actually know who Castor is and just stays quiet. I feel like the scene is trying to make this come off as Sun being callous or not taking things seriously, but I think most people in that situation would be like "Probably best to stay silent than risk giving the wrong reaction.".

Nolan repeats that he thinks he should have died at Beacon, before then jarringly jumping to saying that he must have survived for a reason. And then suddenly Sun thinks "Yeah. Because you ran away," for really no reason. I get that it's supposed to be 'He's from Vacuo and they view everyone as having to be strong!', but it doesn't mesh with his personality or have anything there to help him transition to this thought. It's even worse because we don't know about Nolan's involvement in defending Beacon. Did he actually run away? Did he get tossed aside? Did he abandon his teammates? It feels like there's a line missing.

When Nolan explains that he's not going to waste his second chance and make his life count, Sun admits he likes the message, but wants to see Nolan actually do it first. Sun decides that he really doesn't like this group, he doesn't see it as helping or moving past their trauma, he see's it as a lot of empty sentiments while being forced to speak in a convoluted and careful manner. As such, he decides that this is not for him and leave. In a vacuum, this is actually interesting and pretty good bit of character building for Sun, and it's completely understandable. Some people process their trauma differently and Sun has a good point on why this doesn't work for him.

Of course, it's dragged down because this is yet another example of why Sun sucks in the story's eye. Coco immediately says that Sun just isn't 'ready' for this, with the description making it clear this is a thinly veiled 'You're a pussy/dick.' comment. He simply says that it's not for him and that he's pretty sure they wouldn't like anything he has to say, only to be stopped by Velvet pleading for him to express himself in this 'safe space' and that they'll all understand because they're like family.'

Sun explains that, while he understands why this group was started, he thinks it's a mistake. Everyone glares at him, Nolan mocks him for 'only being here ten minutes and already figuring us out' and Neptune says that he wants to hear Sun's reasoning. First, this is a big reason why other Vacuo students are so distrustful of them, this is a group of people clinging to something long gone and refusing to move on. Velvet tries to tell him that they'be been through something that no one else can understand, which Sun rightfully points out is arrogant bullshit. Vacuo is full of constant tragedy and lost homes, but people stay because it is their home and they will never forget it even if they punish themselves with the shitty conditions.

Immediately, this switches to yelling at Sun for abandoning his team.



Sun leaves, annoyed that Scarlet was airing his team's dirty laundry like that and expresses how he doesn't fully understand why Scarlet was so pissed. In his mind, his team were fine with settling back in Haven for a while, they were safe, they were fine and so he decided to do something productive and go help Blake; which if he hadn't done, Haven might have ended up like Beacon. He does not regret going after Blake. Velvet follows him and explains that she understands it doesn't have to be Sun's thing, he'll find his own way to work through it all. Sun thinks that he has nothing to work through, he just has to move on, but says he'll see her on patrol later.

Thanks for taking the bullet for the rest of us, you're the real MVP.

Still can't believe glorified hatefics are being made canon, but I guess the lesson here is with RWBY the bar of quality for commercially sold products is like a game of limbo. It's bound to get lower and lower.

It's a truly inspiring message. If people like this can get shit published, there's a chance for everyone else to too! Hell, keep writing those fanfics and maybe you'll get to make it canon too.
