JNPR: *on assignment in Menagerie*
Pyrrha: While we’re here, we can visit my aunt! She’s an activist in local government and she can show us all the best restaurants and beaches!
Nora: A government activist? I guess not everyone in the Nikos clan is a fighting champion! What’s she an activist about?
Pyrrha: *runs forward* Oh! There she is! Aunt Sienna! Over here! 😃
Sienna: *turns and hugs Pyrrha before lifting her up and spinning her around* There’s my little fighting niece! How are you doing, cub? Keeping up with your combat training? Tell me all about that Valian school you enrolled in! 😏
Ren: Wait, Pyrrha is related to Sienna Khan, leader of the White Fang?! 😧
Nora: WAIT, Pyrrha is part TIGER FAUNUS?!? 😱
Ren: Though that would certainly explain what she does to Jaune when they’re alone in the dorm room together. 🤔
Jaune: *covered in scratches and abrasions from tiger tongue baths* 🤕
Sienna: Oh, it sounds like you got yourself a boyfriend, little cub! Does your mom know? She used to do the same thing to your dad when she snuck him over at night~! 😏
Pyrrha: Aunt Sienna, not in front of my friends! 🫣

I’m gonna have to write some fics of Raine mentoring Amity, because I love the idea
Raine also was pushed as an academic weapon, put under stress, and we know they were brought through all sorts of academic competitions and honors stuff throughout their education, and I’ll bet it continued into college too
Amity also has all of the family pressure to be perfect especially in the first season but it continues in plenty of ways, and that stuff takes time to work through (I should know) and I feel like Raine would be helpful to talk to about it, and I can imagine like them left aside while Eda and Luz are doing something at the owl house and maybe Amity is doing homework and they end up talking about it somehow
Ima have to write this now
Thought of this yesterday...

You could probably fix a lot of Volume 1's issues by just giving it a higher budget and using that higher budget to make more episodes, and you don't even have to increase the actual number of episodes to do it
Volume 1 as it is only forms Team RWBY halfway through, explores exactly one aspect of the team dynamic, then there's a time skip and a 4-episode Jaune arc, then it's the finale. The topic of faunus oppression, faunus rights activism, and the White Fang, which is a very big part of the finale, is barely touched upon before then
Step 1: turn all the 2-parters into singular full-length episodes
No major writing changes required because the 2-parters have similar total lengths to the full-length episodes, but now Team RWBY forms at the end of episode 5, and assuming the total episode count stays at 16, that means 6 extra episodes to play with
Step 2: add 3 episodes between The Badge And Burden and Jaunedice.
These would mostly focus on character dynamics within Team RWBY with the first following up on The Badge And Burden. It does also mean that by the time we get to Jaunedice, the amount of time that has passed since initiation is less jarring and a Jaune focus episode is less of a distraction from the main characters and more of the closer look at an interesting secondary character that Jaunedice was meant to be
Step 3: add 1 episode, preferably not Jaune-focused, between Jaunedice and Forever Fall
This episode can serve to further explore the subject of anti-faunus discrimination, which was alluded to in The Shining Beacon but only properly introduced in Jaunedice. It can also be an opportunity to build upon the bystander scene from Jaunedice - maybe Team CRDL harasses Velvet again but this time some of the characters actually step in. If one of those characters is Pyrrha that can also add to Cardin's grudge against her in Forever Fall
An episode like that would also be an opportunity to establish Weiss's own prejudices
Also, taking the focus off Jaune again for a moment means that when Forever Fall starts, the confirmation that Cardin's still blackmailing Jaune would mean that was also going on for all of that in-between episode.
Step 4: add 1 episode between Forever Fall and The Stray
This way we can set up the finale a bit more, maybe showcasing some more of the conflicts between Weiss and Blake and exploring the topic of the White Fang and other faunus rights groups - because that news report from The Shining Beacon does indicate that they're not the only one - a bit more so that the audience has at least something more than one news report to go on before we get to The Stray
.
Alternatively, we could make it a 12-episode volume like Volumes 2-4, in which case condensing the 2-parters allows for only 2 extra episodes and the best place to put those imo would be one between The Badge And Burden and Jaunedice and another between Jaunedice and Forever Fall
.
Aside from adding more episodes, the only other changes I'd suggest would be 1. adding two brief scenes to Ruby Rose showing both Blake and Weiss on their way to Beacon, 2. namedropping Sienna Khan when Blake talks about the White Fang to Sun (yes, I'm aware she wasn't in the works yet) and indicating that the Vale chapter of the White Fang is only part of the larger group, and possibly 3. having Weiss and Yang participate in the fight at the docks
So if RWBY was public domain...what would you do with it? Because I remember that was going around.
assuming no limits on what I have to pick or pace plot etc then ...
add more time at beacon, Pyrrha dying was a loss but other than that it's hard to point to something tangible we lost. Giving them more time at beacon with other characters can help with that
More bonding between teammates and other students. Ren and Blake making tra Yang and Nora weight lifting Ruby and Blake and velvet book club etc.
The team evil plan basically goes off without a hitch add a few snags in the way to help explain why we're at school longer and push vytal back a little or make it happen 2nd year.
If you don't then it makes team good guy look incompetent and wonder why Salem hasn't just already won by now. Maybe there was a godzilla marathon on
I've never been a fan of team evil who has tens of thousands of years always picks the exact year our protags just start to make trouble. That could just be me though. If I knew specifically why Salem was picking now I might change this.
minor change but have someone come get Weiss other than her dad. Seeing how easily he folds I don't buy he'd go into danger even to get Weiss have him send a merc since we know carmine exists this is a great time to introduce her in a theoretical retelling.
Maria is young and ready to hold hands. Ruby gets a tutor her age and maria can still be on the train to get some replacement eyes.
apathy? No notes this was peak.
try to work ilia in a little earlier into the story and by that same note now that we know Blake's past add more hints to it or have her make more changes to her outfit than a bow.
in the vein if Jacques he needs to be smart. This man fooled everyone for a decade and people are terrified of him...somehow. make him weak physically but his business acumen really is insane. He has contingency after contingency in place for if he's killed death squads mercs and so many middle men and companies that he's basically untouchable. Winter only got away because she's serving as the number two to the general of the largest army on Rem. Play up his strengths so his eventual downfall is more satisfying.
more (d)wr moments in every volume. This can only help.
When Pyrrha dies more than Jaune takes her stuff. I want Nora to add her shield to outfit Ren to slap on her bracelets because she's all of their friend. Sure she was jaunes love interest etc but she mattered to all of them and I want them all to show it in a way to unite them.
this is getting long but for starters....
As for what I'd do...
First off, I know the reasons Volume 1 is the way it is but it's still probably the weakest Volume in the show imo, so
Take the two-parters and turn them into full-length standalones but keep the total number of episodes at 16. Put the extra six episodes between The Badge And Burden and Jaunedice, between Forever Fall and The Stray, and maybe between Jaunedice and Forever Fall. Jaunedice is where the episodes stop leading into each other, so ideally these extra episodes would maintain that smooth transition from one episode to the next
Use those extra episodes to develop RWBY as a Team more after Players And Pieces, and also maybe give Ren and Nora more screentime
There's a few moments in Volume 1 - and maybe some later, but I don't remember exactly - that could be taken as hints at the idea of the White Fang having conflict with other faunus rights groups, so maybe one of those extra episodes could do a bit more with that. Adam's Fang in particular seems like exactly the kind of organisation that would actively undermine other groups that have the same stated goal but aren't as "radical" as them. Whichever extra episode does that would also be used to develop the faunus oppression plotline a bit more than what we got in the show
Give Yang and Weiss more to do in the finale. Maybe something like what Ice Queendom did, showing what they're up to while the fight at the docks is going down, maybe they actually show up to participate in that fight
Next up, Volume 2
Coco's line to Velvet ("you've been building that up all semester") always struck me as odd, so. I'd up the episode count to 16 here as well and use one or two of those for a Velvet-focused arc
I will be talking more about this on my next watchthrough, but each of the partner duos within RWBY and JNPR seems to represent a classic romance archetype, and for Ren and Nora that seems to be "those two besties who are always together and have to keep clarifying that they're not together-together and then they end up together-together anyway". So I'd want to have a few characters, at (maybe 3) different points, assume that Ren and Nora are gonna go to the dance together, which leads to awkwardness and/or confusion from Ren and Nora each time
Weiss teaching trying to teach Ruby to dance during that part of the Volume
Also. Ruby being uncharacteristically snippy towards Neptune specifically. It's not explained why, and Ruby doesn't necessarily realise she's doing it, but eagle-eyed viewers will notice she only starts acting like that after Neptune flirts with Weiss
Volume 3... maybe I'd up the episode count again so we get to see a bit more of the tournament, and the qualifier. And maybe get to know the other teams a bit better
I would also want to introduce Sienna Khan at some point during the Beacon Era, and give her larger role in Volumes 4 and 5.
If my read on what the show is doing with Ruby and Weiss is right, then I actually really like the way they're going about it, but I would want to make it a bit more obvious. Not Bumbleby-obvious, but maybe take the Obviousness Level of Volume 6 WhiteRose and maintain it
Raven seeing the bird transformation powers as more of a curse than a blessing makes sense, but I think Yang's reaction to it would hold up better if there actually was some drawback - like, maybe Raven and Qrow have to transform semi-regularly or they'll start losing control over it
Also, put Ciel in the Atlas Arc. And... well my idea of Inked PINCs is heavily tied into Linked In Life And Love (for any readers who don't know what that is - it's a really good Pollination AU that's on AO3) so making that ship work in canon would be complicated but maybe giving Ciel and Penny a couple of cute moments and also having Ciel and Neo fight at some point with Neo being her usual self...
Leave in the deleted scene of Weiss frantically searching for Ruby in A Tale Involving A Tree
I am pretty sure the Poly JNR moments in Volumes 6-8 are not on purpose. I would make them on purpose
I recognise even some of the changes where I don't mention increasing the number of episodes, would require more episodes and there are reasons why RWBY has the number of episodes it does and not more, but. I would like more RWBY in my RWBY
What.

I read “Solo Poly” as “Solopoly”. Rhymes with Monopoly
The Nondescript Winter Holiday skit was a cute parody. Gotta say though, while I get why Chibi went the obvious route and made it Christmas-lite - since the whole point was as a justification for a How The Grinch Stole Christmas parody - I like to think that if canon!Remnant has a popular midwinter holiday it's different
Specifically, I like to think that the most popular seasonal holidays in most of Remnant are in some way linked to the Four Maidens and the Story of the Seasons. Maybe they started as holidays celebrating those specific Maidens but since then evolved into their own things
So for the winter one, I'm picturing it being more of a quiet time, for reflection and contemplation, though I do think that togetherness would be part of it too. There aren't really that many parties. Assuming that New Year's Eve is on December 31st in the Remnantian calendar too, the midwinter holiday might also be a time to get ready for that
The spring one, probably associated with the thaw at the end of winter, I'm imagining as Remnant's peak giftgiving season. Spring is the one who brings gifts after all - most gifts these days are conventional presents though, even if the traditional fruits and flowers still play a big part of the holiday
The summer one, in my headcanons, involves a lot of outdoorsy activities. If you celebrate this one and grew up near a forest or a mountain or a lake you're probably familiar with some sort of local tradition involving exploring the forest, climbing the mountain, or swimming in the lake. Scavenger hunts are pretty popular too. At some point this also became a holiday associated with love - all kinds are celebrated, though romance does get a lot of attention and this is a fairly popular time to propose
And the autumn one... is just fucking Thanksgiving. Autumn, in the Story Of The Seasons, is the Maiden who gets Old Man Oz to "look at all that he has, and be thankful". It's in autumn. The WOR depiction of that story showed a feast at that point. If I'm imagining Remnant's seasonal holidays being based on that story and on the Maidens, then it makes sense for the autumn one to be a holiday of thankfulness involving a feast. It's that goddamn turkey day
I love it when the same character honorifics are basically used as a barometer for an evolving relationship over the course of a story.
"...Princess" (Derogatory)
"Princess." (You have disproven several of my previous assumptions but I'm still guarded and critical.)
"Princess," (Mildly impressed but still snarky)
"Princess," (I am coming to terms with how much your office has demanded of you and am finally considering you an equal)
"Princess," (I genuinely respect you, your office, and how much you have grown beyond it since we have met.)
"Princess." (Uh oh I've started catching feelings and am now using your title to remind both you and myself of the distance between us.)
"PRINCESS!" (You are in danger and I am now utterly devoted AND DOWN SO BAD.)
