hey there guys, itโs been a while since iโve been on here, i hope yall are doing well! schools been making me busy af and itโs not slowing down anytime soon
Not So Average Fangirl is once again back with another reaction!!! she is doing an engagement test of sorts on her youtube channel, so if RWBY does really well on youtube, it'll stay there for future reaction episodes, so make sure you engage with all of her RWBY reactions thus far so that the engagement and the algorithm is in RWBYs favour so we can have more of her wonderful reactions!!
favourite highlights from this reaction episode in particular:
immediately picking up on how blake's bow "looks like" cat ears
loving pyrrha's aesthetic and character design
realising that blake was the dark character that was seen following yang
ONCE AGAIN immediately honing in on blake and yang's complimentary eye colours and asking "is that intentional?"
outright LOSING HER MIND laughing at the "some girl's in trouble!" jaune scream
the og post was way too long so I'm making a new one
thanks for the tag @lombolica !! :D
You're stuck in a room with the last character in your gallery how safe are you
very safe
the worst thing that could happen is him being clumsy, so I think I'm alright (unless monsters find him I guess)
tagging (no pressure): @flaretheidiot @lemonic-whimssyy @wibbly-wobbly-blog @cryptidanathema @virtualunease @aurlworthfightingfor @angrysheep @sugarplumanderson @time-travelling-chaos @fateisnotafactor @monstrousmaws @sinfulauthor @idkaguyorsomething @vampireopossum and anyone who wants to do this!
Seeing as Shadow is still baby pretty safe on the Arc. If it was an older shadow, I'd be scared of G.U.N showing up. But baby Shadow, I'm safe, for now.
Open tag and no stress @totally-not-here-for-the-smut @fluffs-place @writerorlion333

If there was a crossover between RWBY and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, before both of the teams would clear up any misunderstandings and work together to fight the main threat, who do you think would win between the two teams of four?
Team RWBY (Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long)
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo)
now i donโt normally post political shit, BUT WE ARE FUCKING SCREWED. Biden dropped out, and his vp aint qualified, Trump is a good businessman, but iโm quite worried about how heโll run out country if he does become president again. BRO, IโVE NEVER NOT WANTED TO BE IN AMERICA THIS MUCH IN MY LIFE
A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.ย
Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.
Yang Xiao Long-RWBY
Qualifications:
She is canonically wlw (has been for years but specifically kissed and got together with her now girlfriend in the latest season) and uses a prosthetic arm and has been shown to struggle with PTSD due to the traumatic nature of losing it during the show.
Canonically had her right arm chopped off, uses a prosthetic. Has PTSD. Is canonically in a WLW relationship.
She has a canon girlfriend and canonically has a prosthetic arm and PTSD
She's canonically sapphic (part of a recently canonised wlw slowburn relationship) and is an amputee (due to events from the 3rd season finale) who wears a robotic prosthetic. She also suffers from PTSD which is explored in the show
Propaganda:
I will keep on submitting Yang to relevant brackets until I die. RWBY has plenty of strengths and weaknesses with writing, especially Yang's recovery arc, but instead of forcing her to push past her trauma and enter the battlefield immediately, we see her struggle with it, take time to process, and not be pushed into repression and when she chooses to wear her prosthetic, chooses to train to ready herself, and chooses to seek out her family and save lives, she isn't perfectly healed, as no one is. The show depicts her having flashbacks due to sudden loud noise, shaking hand the first few times she has to fight for her safety instead of training with her dad, and snapping at friends when they bring up Blake, the person she lost her arm trying to save (who, near immediately after ran away due to feeling she was endangering those she loved, furthering Yang's already present abandonment issues.) It isn't done perfectly but the intentions and general message sent are extremely positive and honest. She struggles less as the show progresses, and there are opportunities to consider herself less for being disabled or "become whole again" but she explicitly refutes these ideas and says that's she's better because of her failures and losses, and isn't any less whole. Her becoming disabled is also extremely tied to her being LGBT, because, as previously mentioned, she lost her arm protecting her then friend and partner, now girlfriend, directly after the villain who cut her arm off told her love interest that he would "destroy everything [she] love[s]. (Camera pans to Yang, he looks at her.) Starting with her." LIKE. He attacked her BECAUSE Blake cared for her so much and Yang ran to her defense blindly BECAUSE she loved Blake so much. When they reunite, they struggle with communication because Yang feels Blake is seeing her as weak, and through several things, mostly a climatic battle against the man who severed Yang's arm, they affirm each other as equals. I can go on but this is already too long. YANG SWEEP!!!!!
Yang lost her arm while protecting her best friend and future girlfriend from said girlfriend's abusive ex. Had a whole arc about learning to live with that loss and dealing with PTSD. Is totally devoted to and in love with Blake Belladonna and is just the sweetest but most badass character in the show.
She's one of the main characters, and just finished a 10 year slow burn romance. Plus, she has both physical and mental disabilities, but is never treated as lesser or incomplete.
Yang Xiao Long was one of the first examples of a sapphic character I ever saw in animated media with her character journey in the show being an iconic part of my teenage years and current young adulthood. The loss of her arm after a traumatic event in the show's 3rd volume was one of the big shockers of the show that nobody saw coming. Since then the show has done an amazing job in exploring both the mental and physical effects of her losing a limb, gaining a prosthetic arm and the recovery journey. Her character also has a major arc regarding handling her PTSD from both this and her past most notably in the 5th and 6th volume. Her character also has a slow-burn romance with her teammate and fellow main character Blake Belladonna which is one of my fave romances ever (it has everything: canon soulmates, friends to lovers, sunshine x grump,battle couple etc..) that has recently became CANON BABIEE!!! There are MULTIPLE characters in RWBY with various disabilities that are handled well in the narrative but i would say Yangs definitely the top FAVE!
Harrier โHarryโ du Bois-Disco Elysium

Bisexual. Struggles with addiction, post-polio syndrome, multiple kinds of mental illness, and whatever else he's accrued by living in a city with no accessible healthcare.
