finally got a working blu ray torrent for Volume 9. The BD torrents were all raw blu ray file dumps rather than pre-made remuxes. Which was odd, but hey, I got to learn more about how blu ray discs are structured file-wise.

You have to run 'playlist' files to obtain the correct 'stream' to render episodes from the disc to .m2ts format. Then change the container to .mp4 or .mkv with ffmpeg in the command line depending on your needs. Interestingly, the anti-piracy ads are separate videos but all languages will be rendered into a single video, at least with the method I was using.

^ I chose to keep all 3 audio streams in my .mp4 containers. English, Japanese, and English commentary. I also wanted to store all the subtitle tracks in a separate copy, but the Volume 9 discs store their subtitles as...images that are rendered onto the screen for some reason? Instead of .srt files like I'm used too. mp4s can't store those, but MKVs can. So I suppose if I want subtitled copies I'll have to go back to MKV. anyway, despite how much tumblr has crunched these images, the quality and bitrate of the episodes came out fine. I was surprised at the file sizes (most episodes were around 2GBs) but I think that might be a function of both the fact that the episodes are only 1080p + the variable runtime of RWBY episodes + 8-bit depth Format : AVC Format profile : [email protected] Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 14.7 Mb/s Maximum bit rate : 38.0 Mb/s Width : 1,920 pixels Height : 1,080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS Minimum frame rate : 23.974 FPS Maximum frame rate : 23.981 FPS Color space : YUV

When a Beauty Leaves Her Beast

Fandom: 原神 | Genshin Impact Rating: T Relationships: Furina/Neuvillette (Genshin Impact) Characters: Furina (Genshin Impact), Neuvillette (Genshin Impact) Tags: Missing Scene, Possessive!Neuvillette, Takes Place after Archon Quest 4.2 and before Furina's Story Quest Summary: From this side of the door, pretending that the frantic rustling of fabric and hurried zip of a suitcase are simply her familiar pre-performance hysterics, is easier. She is fiddling with her costume. Tightening the cinch of her corset. Any moment now, she will throw open the doors with a huff, pouting—but none the less resplendent in whichever ensemble the play’s designer has insisted on.

(RWBY) (Isle of the Dead (German: Die Toteninsel) by Arnold Böcklin)

[bestworstcase]

inhales ok

THIS is a mega folder containing literally everything rwby-related that is available right now on roosterteeth (+v9). rwby, fairytales, world of remnant, the grimm campaign, ice queendom (sub and dub), vtubing, all the behind-the-scenes stuff. everything.

plus soundtracks for every volume + IQ, and drm-free epubs.

i will add any additional rwby content released during the wind down period as it becomes available. V1-8 have an english subtitle track embedded in the files, V9 does not because it came from CR. IQ dub has english subtitles. and for the sake of completeness i pulled all the non-english subs available on CR for V1-9 as well, those are in there as loose .ass files for the time being.

whenever possible, buy physical media. learn how to strip drm out of digital content that you own and make it a habit to do so.

archive responsibly 👍

[short-wooloo]

We probably should also make sure that we back up the digital copies of the Mangas and comics too

[bestworstcase]

i’ve got the official manga anthology in there; if anyone’s got kindle editions of the comics or anything else it’s pretty easy to strip drm and convert to generic formats using calibre. lots of tutorials online but the basic setup is:

install kindle version 1.17 for pc, turn off auto-updates, sign into your amazon account and download the books you want

install latest version of calibre

download latest stable release of noDRM, and add the plugin to calibre

import books to convert into calibre (they’ll be in your documents folder under My Kindle Content)

and then you can just convert; noDRM works automatically in the background. for comics you’ll get best results converting azw3 to zip, then rename the extension to cbz, then convert from cbz to epub. adjust settings under comic input when converting from cbz as needed, may take a bit of experimenting.

So we've all heard the news regarding RT shutting down.

I was somewhat gutted the night I heard the news; since then, more news has made the situation sound less dire. Namely, the core people working on RWBY still believe they'll be able to release the BTS and extra content we were promised a month or two ago (the extended V9 epilogue, etc). And there have been groups who have expressed interest in the IP (https://twitter.com/DillonGoo/status/...) with further speculation that Crunchy Roll or another group that has hosted RWBY might buy it.

(I only worry that the IP will be hoarded and not actually used, but I digress.)

Back-up/WIP channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MindsSketchbook

(tl:dr for below: RT might be done but I'm not)

My emotions have mostly settled, but to elaborate (ie, cross-post some edited tweets from the night I got the news):

I. Okay RT had a pretty horrendous history with how it treated its staff so I can't mourn them, but RWBY, a show that makes up the bulk of my creative editing work, was also under their care-

-and-

-V9 was one of the best volumes IMO. RWBY is the closest thing I have as a comfort show. I always come back to editing it...and I won't stop for a long time. I like editing it more than anything else. I've sunk thousands of hours of my life into making my little fucking mv edits with it.

Except these fucking edits are such an important creative outlet for me. Which sounds stupid. Most people just want to see a song paired with scenes they like. You search up AMVs by these song title + media. Which is reasonable! But a lot of my edits are more than that to me...all my most popular beloved stuff has a story or at least a strong thematic through-line. I miss when I felt confident enough to title it vaguely based on whatever emotional thesis I had.

I've tried working with other things. It's never bad but it's also never the same. I have ideas for other media but most will never see the light of day because RWBY almost always takes priority in mind. My heart. When I look at my body of work I always feel like I'm not done. I have more to say and show, and having developed my interpretation of RWBY over the years, I have so much in the show I want to revisit in AMV form.

Know any good varian x Rapunzel fanfic?

None that you can't find on Ao3. There's a solid, but by no means comprehensive list here.

I haven't really been sincerely involved in the TTS fandom for a while now so I might not be the best to ask 🤷‍♂️ It's also not a popular ship so we all kind of have the same tiny pool to skim for ship content 😔I really recommend going through the Ao3 tag, excluding anything written by Zone

The OC fic request sounds very specific. I haven't seen one that meets that criterion yet unfortunately.

But when an eerily familiar distortion rescues him from the clutches of his predecessors, Hunter feels a glimmering of something more for the first time.
