Think I saw one for MLP that went to extreme lengths to include them all, including saying that AJ is trans, years ago.

@Random-Rambling  
Oh neat. Also, I’m honestly surprised the artist included straights. Most of the time, these group photos have all sorts of sexualities except straight.

@Scrabbleman  
Also not all Ace people are Aromantic,

@Dirty Bit  
Not going to lie, I was assuming it was a pointless term, like it meant “bi but focus on females” or something like that.

@Meanlucario
 
Term’s been around, and it confused me at first, as well

@Dirty Bit  
Makes sense, though a bit misleading to me.

@Meanlucario
 
Asexual

@Dirty Bit  
Ace?

I like the SSSN gay shirt XD Also, freaking Raven and Qrow
 
@Scrabbleman
 
Nevermind Neptune, I’m surprised Ruby is ace

@Scrabbleman
 
According to the artist of this piece, Neptune flirts because he grew up thinking that’s what guys like him are supposed to do. He flirts, but secretly hopes his attempts all fail, because he doesn’t want to string some poor girl along.

@Random-Rambling  
Why would Neptune be ace? He literally flirted with Weiss.

@Scrabbleman
 
I’m sure there’s a fic somewhere.
 
Anyway, it’s Pride month now, apparently.
 

How come no one wrote a fic about Jaune dying and Pyrrha going depressed blood knight? Most fics are either “it never happened” or “both survived”.
 
Like, come on. Where’s the creativity here?

Monty was an absolute god at fight choreography (to the point that it took the rest of RoosterTeeth something like 4 years to learn how he did what came naturally to him), but….yeah, he was a bit too impulsive to flesh out the underlying story. There’s a persistent rumor that the map of Remnant is literally just him being inspired by ketchup smeared on a napkin, liking how the stains resembled continents.

@Scrabbleman
 
Yeah, I know that. This is why killing off an important character to make others grow is better when the character that dies is a mentor or a very secondary one. If Pyrrha was more secondary than she was, or never was that appealing to begin with, maybe people would have gone more easy on her death.

@Thanotos Omega  
Hey, it was BP that claimed Monty planned Pyrrha’s death. Tell that to them.

@Scrabbleman  
Umm Monty’s been dead for years, he died before volume 3 came out,
 
That said yeah the writers are not terrible but they do make some pretty glaring mistakes,

@Background Pony #F68F  
Then that’s the fault of Monty. Contrary to popular belief, he’s not the best writer. Hell, he’s not even that good of one. In fact, Summer Rose only existed because he needed a reason for Ruby to be on that cliffside during the Red trailer.
 
People make mistakes but don’t ever say a good thing (Pyrrha being likeable) as one of them. His error was not adapting to it. He did it once with Torchwick, he can do it again.

@Scrabbleman
 
Maybe the error they made, wasn’t to choose Pyrrha, but to give her a too much likeable personality that gave her some potentials of development. Because as I said, since the very beginning Pyrrha was planned to die, Monty Oum himself planned that when the series was at the early stages of development, before passing away. Maybe things would have been different if Pyrrha had a more bland personality, nobody would care anymore about her being gone now.

@Random-Rambling  
how fucking dare they not like yang!  
blake is fair game tho.

@Scrabbleman  
Yep they had all the makings of a slow decay of her morals as she tried harder and harder to stop Cinder and became more and more like her, and went with generic fridged girl mangst, the writers have made allot of mistakes over the years,

@Background Pony #F68F  

 
Yeah, neither was Torchwick and in essence, Neo. Yet both got huge development.
 
Anyone who claims to create a character that’s supposed to die should not be writing. That’s called a shit trick.
 
Pyrrha being killed was a loss in terms of possible character development but is also seen as necessary in order for Jaune to develop himself. The thing is, the story for either Jaune or Pyrrha will never move forward unless one of them is dead (or at least, comatose or out of commission).
 
The problem was, they chose Pyrrha.

@Background Pony #F68F
 
Some of it is people pining for the nostalgic “glory days” of the series (EVERY fandom has some people like this; Pokemon, for example).
 
Lots of people really like her aesthetic and wished they got more backstory (which is, admittedly, one of RWBY’s “original sins”: too many cool-looking characters and not NEARLY enough screen time to flesh them all out)
 
And some people just think Blake and Yang aren’t all that great (Volumes 4 and 5 did them both dirty).

…. I don’t want to sound rude but… Videos like this one, as well as the fact that Pyrrha was above Blake and Yang of one position in the most recent female characters poll, make me understand one thing: fans still haven’t got over her death, and are still wishing for her unexpected return, and this kinda bothers me. She was just a character that was supposed to die, like the whole time. Getting development wasn’t her deal at all, and probably she wasn’t even supposed to have that many fans. People should really stop doing this thing, accept that she’s gone and move on. It’s only for the best.
