It especially seems weird because Sun has explained what went down to both teams, he went with Blake to fight the White Fang and his involvement might have technically stopped Haven from being exploded. Yet the story tries to frame it like he left him team to tap some ass.
To be fair, in a reality not written by autists co-opted by schitzos, Sun and Blake totally fucked at least once, if only to get the sexual tension out of the way and get that post-nut clarity to strategize. :smug:

Coco sounds like a gigantic Mary Sue holy shit, unironic fanfic level writing
Not to mention a massive thundercunt-class toxic bitch, with a side of USI.
Is this even real? 🤣

Please, tell me that people aren't supposed to pay money for this trash. 🚬
I'm reading it and I'm still trying to convince myself that someone was paid to write this shit.
This isn't even worth tracking down a PDF. Just fuck everyone involved in this trashfire.
 
I'm fully aware of the corner the writers have put themselves into. It's the same one Masahi Kishimoto made when he created Madara. Honestly, all I've been thinking of is ways that CRWBY would keep the show going because there's a lot of loose ends and things still unaccounted for and they already said they have V9 greenlit and is being written for.

>loose ends

Not really. They're already using a novel to talk about Vacuo. Junk like unrevealed Maiden can just be dumped into a novel or comic.

All of the core plot bits are known. We even know what happened to Summer (Salem killed her).

>V9

So just make it an epilogue.
 
I actually wouldn't believe that they're the same people or that the pic on the right is some ancient college pic.
It likely is old, but then she is only 30, she hit the wall at breakneck speed
All I can say is that she’s had two kids. And IIRC, on Twitter before her first kid she joked about having mom bod, having to wear “mom jeans” and never really having supermodel looks.

Well, there’s also Beacon overrun with Grimm and it’s relic unaccounted for. As for Summer Rose, the show is still playing the mystery box with her if only to not outright say her fate so her blood isn’t on Ozpin’s hands.

On a lighter note, who wants to watch a fight to the death?
 
Don't need to. Yang wins again.

If she fought SSJB Goku, she'll still win. Miles and Kerry don't want her to lose because lesbians, or something.
Well, Weiss vs Mitsuru disapproves your statement on Miles and Kerry, and as for your statement....

DBX has not only been no reasearch, but has been determined by fan votes for a while now.

How the hell is Yang so popular compared to Bakugo?
Considering that I have it under a good hunch that online polls like this are rigged due to bot votes, or that the creators themselves choose the winners while giving out the illusion of votes, I gave up on channels like that a long time ago.

I guarantee you that she isn't nearly as well known or popular in larger anime circles.

I know more about David Chauvin's taxes then I know about Yang right now, and I've known about Yang since this damn series started!
 
Guess I'm just reading the full book now.

We open on Velvet's perspective, at least giving Sun credit that he's helpful for the fact that he knows how to navigate the confusing clusterfuck of a city that is Vacuo. The people here hate outsiders, so asking for directions nets you getting pointed in the wrong direction.

Sun admits he didn't grow up in the city, he and his family moved around a lot like most clans. Neptune adds that Sun doesn't like the city because there's not enough tall buildings to climb, which just prompts Velvet to start thinking about how incomprehensible it is that Neptune seems to forgive Sun for his terrible deed.

It's brought up that Sun's cousin, I'm assuming it's the same cousin from the flashback, has a dojo around this part of the city. We're reminded that the city moves and changes on it's own so the dojo might not be around there anymore. As well as an implication that, for one reason or another, Sun wants to avoid that place.

“You have family here and you haven’t told them you’re back?” Yatsuhashi asked.

Scarlet laughed. “That’s Sun for you.”
Velvet puffed out her cheeks and sighed. She was grateful that Team CFVY had worked out their past difficulties. She didn’t know what she would do without her friends. They knew one another as well as Sun knew the streets of this city.

Sun lowered his head, and his tail dragged behind him. Velvet decided to rescue him—again.

And, of course, Velvet's chapter sounds almost just like Coco's. Usually, when you change points of view, that view is then characterized by the person we're following, or giving us information or ideas that we wouldn't get from another person's view. The only difference there seems to be here is that instead of reading other character's thoughts, we just have the description say what they're probably thinking.

Velvet asks why Sun didn't go to Shade academy instead of Haven, to which Sun simply explains that he hates looking at Shade. It's the one structure that doesn't move in Vacuo, so you always see it no matter where you turn.

To be fair, this is actually one of the more natural and creative segways into describing what the surroundings look like and how it metaphorically shares similarities with the people.

When Sun mentions that he wanted to see the world, we delve into a flashback of Velvet's about visiting her father's lab up in Atlas as a child. She's looking at blueprints on her scroll as her father tries desperately to get her attention, before lying about there being a pumpkin pete statue to get her curious (Pumpkin Pete is a cartoon rabbit, don't think that was confirmed before now). Then, oddly enough, she complains internally about how she just wants to spend some time with her father and is annoyed that he's trying to impress her with him being Atlas's best 'tinkerer'. The opening paragraph makes it look like she's ignoring his attempts to bond with her because she's too busy fiddling with her ipad, yet she's annoyed that he's not 'trying' to spend time with her?

On the other hand, could he have turned down the military escort if he’d wanted to? Velvet’s mother said that his mind was too important—too important to risk his personal safety on public transit. Too important for him to return to Vale. Too important to be a good husband or father
anymore. As long as he was helping design new top secret technologies for Atlas, that meant Velvet wasn’t important enough. She didn’t deserve his full attention, so he hardly had room to complain that he didn’t have hers.

Again, this guy is clearly trying to get her attention with what he finds interesting and yet she's treating it like he's ignoring her? What the fuck?

When she calls him out on lying about the statue, he merely jokes that it's another way he's disappointed her. Velvet objects, but is unable to argue. So, he just agrees to try and convince Ironwood to build a statue of Pumpkin Pete.

He says he's glad she came to visit. Velvet initially says she came because she wanted to see the center of Technology and innovation on Remnant, but when her father asks if she came because she missed him, it's only there she admits she did. He said he misses her every day, which leads into Velvet complaining that he doesn't come home often and I think her father hints at a possible divorce in the future. “Thing is, I don’t think I am. Your mother and I don’t see things
the same way anymore. Maybe we haven’t for a while and we just couldn’t admit it to ourselves. Or to you.” His decision to get a big job at Atlas didn't go over well with his family, mostly because he didn't tell them about it. Velvet says that he always told her that anything can be fixed if you put your mind to it, to which he just regurgitates that "Machines are easier than people.".

Velvet shows her father the designs for her weapon, the one that replicates weapons after taking images of them. Which is another confirmation of how much Velvet's weapon bugs me. It doesn't require her semblance, her semblance is just being able to memorize combat styles well. So... Why the fuck is she the only one who has this shit? She can literally recreate weapons just by taking a picture of them, how amazingly useful would that be for fighting battles? You could use it to reverse engineer people's weapons, you could use it to have a more convenient storage of weapons and equipment that takes up no space. Atlas is the most technologically advanced city in the world, but this 17 year old is the only one able to create this technological marvel.

The flashback ends with Velvet's father telling her he'll go to Ironwood to get more hardlight dust to truly test Velvet's weapon and that he's proud of her acceptance into Beacon.

In the present, the group come upon the Weeping Wall. A large rock formation that leaks water. Velvet and Coco are confused, because apparently non-literal names are new to them. "That isn't a wall, and it's not weeping!"

There's some more blind jokes with Fox before they get closer to the formation. From there, Velvet see's that it's actually a shrine of sorts with a lot of decoration and offerings left before a wall of missing person's posters. Velvet whispers the details to Fox because SSSN isn't trusted enough to know Fox's semblance. Why doesn't she just tell him mentally? Not like SSSN will hear it.

“These are the missing and lost of the city of Vacuo,” Sun said. “People who have disappeared without a trace. Most of them in the last year.”

“Where’d they go?” Sage asked.

“They wouldn’t be missing if we knew where they are.” Scarlet patted Sage on the arm. “Oh, right.”

Get it? Team SSSN are all sucky idiots!

Velvet starts complaining about how these people apparently aren't important enough for Theodore to take action, but Fox makes a good point that resources are limited in Vacuo, he has to use them carefully.

Sun repeats that he needs to to save these people, they could be in trouble, which just has Scarlet taunting him about being noble and selfish at the same time. Of course, we get more description of how bad Sun usually is. He usually takes childish bait, he doesn't usually devote himself to a 'cause like this'. Yeah, Sun would never devote himself to helping people, or going after criminals, or going to help a friend take down a terrorist organisation.

To pledge to fight a big cause with no clear solution or end in sight? That really didn’t sound like Sun. Maybe his time with Blake in Menagerie had changed him.

Him following Blake is LITERALLY him pledging to fight a big cause with no clear solution.

“We’ll help you,” Velvet said with conviction. “We’ll find them.”

Coco cleared her throat. “After we track down the Crown.”

Oh, I get it. You guys get to admonish others for putting the bigger picture before your problems, but you're perfectly fine going "We're not saving innocent people until after we've found what we want!". Either way, don't you beleive that the Crown and the missing people are connected?

When looking closer at the posters, Velvet realizes that one of the missing people is the Pink Thug from the night before. Coco assumes that someone with a semblance like hers would be of interest to the Crown, but Sun is quick to point out that she didn't seem like she was kidnapped and was probably a willing participant like Carmine and Bertilak.

Taking a picture of the poster, Velvet quickly finds that her name is Rosa Schwein and Coco suggests someone going down to interview her family. Sun volunteers himself and team SSSN... To which Scarlet groans, Sage sighs and Neptune shrugs. Sun is terrible for abandoning his team when these fuckers are getting pissy about having to do work to SAVE MISSING CHILDREN. The fuck? Then again, it seems like Scarlet's only role in the story so far is to be pissed about everything.

A girl wonders over. Neptune asks how she is. She bursts into tears because he sister is missing. I mention this only because I can see people in future somehow twisting this to show Neptune as a dick for not knowing the girl was sad.

They grill her for information, the girl explaining that her sister when missing two days prior when going to a club to gamble money on a fight. Coco asks about her semblance, which turns out to being able to make things stick together for a few minutes, leading to Coco making a pretty dickish comment about the sister 'not rocking anybody's world with that'. The girl scowls at her and leaves, with only Scarlet really pointing out what a shitty thing to say it was, but Coco dismisses it. She then goes on to assume that Lily just got to deep into debt and either got into trouble or is too ashamed to return home. Velvet points out that the family doesn't seem to be the type that wouldn't accept her if that was the case.

We end the chapter on Coco admitting that, even in Vacuo, families stick together. On the subject of families, team CFVY need to show SSSN something. Peeking at the next chapter, it seems this somthing is a therapy group for those who survived Beacon.

Overall, this chapter isn't as bad as the prior ones, but is still has the failings of the writing style. So much dialogue is quickly followed by a big explanation of the context of the dialogue. When Scarlet talks, we have to be told "IT IS BECAUSE HE IS PISSED AT SUN AND WANTS TO MAKE IT CLEAR HE'S SEPARATE FROM THE GROUP!"

I don't wanna sound bitchy, but is there a TL;DR? I don't think I have the power to handle more or the disappointment & cringe of the one just before this.

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

Man, I remember when Coco and her team were introduced and seemed interesting. Rooster Teeth has a way of fucking up things just to make you regret having thoughts like that. :story:
 
Damn, I actually liked RWBY as a 'fast food' series of sorts (even when I acknowledged its roller-coaster quality) but looking at the supplementary material and the behind the scenes is just depressing.


Also has one of the shittest subreddits I've ever seen. All mediocre fan art or weirs crossovers
 
Wasn't this the exact opposite though??
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.
