Welcome to the RWBY crack house.

How many I take your order?

She looked at the Atlesian woman, no longer was she Weiss Schnee, the hot-tempered heiress who studied and loved to play with Zwei. She was Specialist Schnee now. Just as she was no longer Ruby Rose, the loveable, hyperactive girl who loved cookies and strawberries. She was the Red Death. 

Gone was that girl, a soldier now stands in her place.

In the height of the Second Great War, lines are drawn as the world is drenched in bloodshed. Ruby and Weiss find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict, Blake is burdened with the guilt of what she had done, and Yang is wasting her days lost in a haze, unsure how to carry on. The lines between friend and foe are blurring and no one is sure who is what anymore, and only in their darkest moments will they truly know who their enemy is.

I'm always baffled by the people who expect me to be apologetic for liking RWBY and seem genuinely offended when I'm not. Motherfuckers who still have their Hogwarts houses in their bio think they're too good for us. Do they really need me to explain why RWBY is better than their precious wizard books? Because I can. With charts and diagrams and bibliographies and fucking musical numbers I can. Go ahead, make my day.

Screw it I'm suddenly feeling petty, let me list of some of the most obvious reasons right now:

-actual queer representation. Two queer protagonists in a slowburn queer romance together even.

-a predominantly female cast with four female protagonists and varied and meaningful female relationships. (Harry Potter is over a million words long and passes the bechdel test, like, a single digit number of times and it's usually only when two women are calling each other fat, ugly or mannish)

-actually anti-authority and challenges existing power structures.

-no weird obsession with innate genetically deterministic moral hierarchy.

-villains who are more than one dimensional saturday morning cartoon baddies whose only motivation is evil for evil's sake.

-a proactive protagonist with principles and agency.

-actual character arcs and character growth that means something by the end.

-not absolutely saturated by the author's general meanness, judgementalism and disdain for her fellow humans.

-is neither antisemitic, nor pro-slavery.

-does not directly fund the war on trans rights and the destroying of trans lives globally IRL.

"Look at you. Still standing there like standing means something. Like showing up is the same as winning. You've confused persistence with strength your entire life, haven't you? Let me tell you what I see when I look at you. I see someone who was told they were special, who believed it, who built an entire identity around it. And now you're here, in front of me, and the story isn't going the way it was supposed to. That must be terrifying. Not me. Not this. The idea that maybe, you were never the hero. You were just the last one left."

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.
