I really like your character writing so far, I find it very interesting. Was there a certain inspiration behind the writings for the characters of TADC?

Non-joke answer: Probably Evangelion if I'm being honest.

Being a No sabo Kid

As mentioned In my bio, one of my parents is African-American, the other a Dominican Immigrant. And I can't speak spanish. All of my half brothers (I have no full siblings and my half brothers are from my mom's side). I've been doing Duolingo recently, so I'm getting better, but I'm not on the level where I can read even one sentence in Spanish and understand it. The most spanish I know are colors and numbers. I honestly feel disconnected from both my African-American and Dominican heritage. My abuela used to live with us before passing away, and I could literally never have a conversation with her cause I couldn't speak spanish, and she couldn't speak english. Anyone else with similar experiences?

Everything I never told you

I read the book for a book club. Honestly, I had to put the book down. Not cause I thought it was bad, but because the characters were too realistic. I just couldn't read a book where the protagonists were the most unlikable people I ever met. James really cheated on his wife and Marilyn literally walked out on the family for like a month or some shit. 😭

How is Jaune being Miles' self insert such a point of contention when he deadass says that Jaune is the heightened version of his middle school self?

I beg of anyone who comes into the RWDE tag to not tag Rwde and Anti-rwde on the same post. It's so simple to understand that doing that puts it in the tag anyway.

I'm so over seeing people go "I wanna talk about rwby but then I'll attract meat riders or haters" bitch I get that too, you ain't special cause you whined about hating people using a video essay as their talking points. A person once said "If I repeat and use those points, it's probably because I agree and resonate with those points."

Just like how I agree I don't like finding a hot steaming turd on my porch, If my neighbor also had one and makes alot of good points about why it shouldn't be there, I'm gonna tend to agree.

My problem with Cinder's backstory

It's what I wanted to know the most.

Undertale

I refuse to believe Undertale is a DECADE old now, it's been so long!

I just realized that, for some reason, RWBY doesn't really care about giving their villains a proper backstory.

Adam has a one-sentence backstory that does literally nothing for him and is delivered in the last second of his screen time.

Cinder's backstory comes way too late and is inconsequential to anything she has done until now. It doesn't explain her motivations or worldview, and it doesn't show us why she became the person she is.

Jacques is just sort of this vague rich person who doesn't even get to be a villain because the show throws away the build-up in favor of something completely random that has nothing to do with him.

Hazel's backstory exists solely to place him in Ozpin's path, rather than giving him logic and reasoning to justify it (because let's be frank, EVERYTHING about his reasoning falls apart the moment you think about it)—maybe because he was never supposed to exist.

Mercury and Emerald's backstories don't really do much for their characters, don't come into play in their decision-making or characterization, and are barely there.

Raven has one of the dumbest, most barebones motivations for her betrayal.

Sienna exists to get fridged so she doesn't even get the bare minimum.

Watts's backstory is there solely to give him a reason to do The Thing but doesn't really give him a worldview to explain WHY—maybe because he was never supposed to exist.

The only one with a backstory is Salem, and it's more of an Ozpin backstory than anything else. The whole origin story—presented as 110% truth and not some sort of unreliable narrator—basically just lays the guilt of her decisions solely on her rather than two manipulative omniscient beings randomly retconned into the story.

It's like the show genuinely believes people are either born evil or born good and nothing they do in their lives will change that, hence the V9 ridiculousness of decrying self-reflection or acceptance of one's flaws as evil.

It would be fine if only half the show's songs, including the best OP songs (the first three), weren't about how "we" should improve and overcome our pasts and learn from our mistakes, how everyone is imperfect, and how one can't rely on the childish naivety of good and evil growing up, because there's more to the world than stories.

Almost as if that simplistic worldview of good and evil wasn't the original intention before V4.
