Miraculous

Chapter 18: Capturing the Traitors

(At Avalon Park, Tikki grows disturbed.)

TIKKI: Marinette! I felt a negative aura. Adrien’s in danger!

MARINETTE: Wait. I didn’t tell my new friends about the news! They’re probably after Adrien again! No time to lose!

(She takes out the flight magicaroon and feeds it to Tikki.)

MARINETTE: Power up!

(Tikki’s wings and antennae turn blue.)

TIKKI: Space Tikki!

MARINETTE: Spots on!

(She transforms into Cosmo-Bug and flies off. At the mob circle, several of Zeta’s eagle soldiers drop campfire logs. Frank nervously lights a match and sets them on fire.)

LUNA-TK: This will teach you not to betray the people you pretend to care about!

ADRIEN: Wait. I can get Marinette on the line!

(Adrien attempts to call Marinette.)

MARINETTE’S VOICEMAIL: It’s Marinette. Leave a message. Beep! He-he!

(He looks up nervously.)

SAM: Rope them!

MABEL: Cage them!

(The mob closes in.)

ADRIEN: Marinette, I don’t know if you can hear me, but you forgot to tell your new friends about Lila, and they sentenced us to death.

(Flying over Eight at East Apartments, Cosmo-Bug eyes her yo-yo and locates Adrien.)

LADYBUG: Florida Mall parking lot. Hang on, Adrien.

(Meanwhile, the Minions toss a huge net over the group. Standing on the cage, the Trolls wrap their hair, Growly Pete his mustache, around the group’s wrists, ankles, and necks, then the Minions start to drag them backward with the net’s ropes.)

ADRIEN: You need to answer eventually, or we’ll all be destroyed!

(A long way down the highway, Cosmo-Bug flies past the Arepa Station. The humidity starts to make her sweat and run out of breath. Fighting against the restraints, Adrien tries to call Marinette again. The Wolf pups and assist by scratching and snapping at them.)

ADRIEN: Come on.

MARINETTE’S VOICEMAIL: It’s Marinette. Leave a message. Beep! He-he!

ADRIEN: Come on, Marinette. Answer.

(The Minions and Trolls continue to drag the group toward the cage.)

ADRIEN: (STRAINING) I’ll never give in!

(The group shoots forward, tripping the Minions, but it doesn’t last long as they quickly regain control of the ropes.)

ADRIEN: What could you possibly be doing that you can’t pick up right now?

(Cosmo-Bug now huffs and puffs past Orlando International Airport.)

LADYBUG: I… can’t… stop. No… matter… what.

(The group continues trying and failing to resist their restraints.)

(At the back, Tom squeezes Henry the Minion against the rear of the cage. As the Trolls attempt to close it, the door bonks Adrien’s head.)

ADRIEN: Hey, there’s a limit.

(Meanwhile, Cosmo-Bug stops and struggles to catch her breath.)

COSMO-BUG: (DEHYDRATED) Okay. I need to get a water for the road.

(Meanwhile, the caged captives suffer abuse from the Crossover Characters. The Wolf Pups poke at them with spears. The Minions strangle them through the narrow openings. The Royal Woods and Great Lakes City students electrocute them with tasers.)

(Cosmo-Bug stops at a 7-Eleven off the airport highway exit and de-transforms. Now as Marinette, she goes to the fridges in the back and picks out a 20-ounce Aquafina bottle. At the front, she attempts to swipe her card at the pin pad, but it reads, “NOT ACCEPTED”.)

MARINETTE: Come on.

(She tries more times, faster, then slower, but still gets the same result each time.)

MARINETTE: Fine. I’ll pay with cash.

(She passes the cashier five dollars. Later, she leaves and continues flying. Meanwhile, Adrien struggles to make another attempt at escaping, but is yanked backwards by the Minions. The Trolls manage to lower the cage opening, then Terence and Brick hold it closed.)

(Walking over, Luna-TK receives the lucky charm from Branch, who had dug into Adrien’s bag, then walks away.)

ADRIEN: You’re making a mistake.

LUNA-TK: Who’s ready to watch the traitors perish?

(Everyone cheers. Meanwhile, a rehydrated Cosmo-Bug flies over Oceaneering Entertainment Systems. She hears the commotion in the Florida Mall parking lot ahead. In the cage, Adrien watches helplessly as Luna-TK puts her hand over the strengthening campfire.)

ADRIEN: No!

(Cosmo-Bug flies toward the mob and watches Luna-TK drop the charm.)

ADRIEN: No!

(Cosmo-Bug extends her yo-yo and catches the charm just before it falls in. The mob notices her as she lands and storms over to them.)

COSMO-BUG: What are you guys doing?!

LUNA-TK: We were about to burn the traitors’ good luck away and then kill them so that they wouldn’t…

COSMO-BUG: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kill them? Spots off.

(She de-transforms, shocking the travel group.)

MARINETTE: I wanted them sent back to Paris, not murdered!

(Terence and Brick release the cage. The Minions do the same with the ropes, then lift the cage door open, releasing the travel group.)

MARINETTE: “Lila Rossi’s reign over Paris continues to grow. Ladybug and Cat Noir nowhere to be seen to stop her.” I know they’ve wronged me in plenty of ways, but torture and murder is not the answer. We have to go back to Paris and take the city back.

(Everyone looks at each other.)

LUNA-TK: Okay. We’ll follow your lead.

(Marinette looks up at Luna-TK.)

Out of my own curiosity, how come no one has done nothing about this Dexiter? (I’ve heard of them and yeah, not a fan) Surely you can tell Reddit about how they encourage toxic behaviour.

Let's first explain Dextixer's behavior.

He threatens people and tries to get them to kill themselves

So why won't R/RWBY stop a man who spams their subreddit with one post after another trying to tell people that they should never be happy with anything RWBY does, that they should hate their female protagonists and love the male villains, etc etc?

Because he's protected by youtubers like Calxiyn, Fatmanfalling, etc

Whenever a RWBY Critics attacks the show or the fandom, for example, harassing a girl for trying to enjoy RWBY?

He is immediately defended by the RWBYTubers.

One individual actually called out this hate

She and everyone else who tried to talk about were silenced by the RWBYTubers and anyone speaking ill of the RWBY Critics were cyberbullied into silence.

R/RWBY cannot do anything about Dextixer except lick the shit from his boots due to the fact that every single RWBYTuber has his back, and that to deny his hate and/or his harassment of RWBY fans would be considered "toxic positivity".

Any attempts at trying to defend the show? Dextixer speaks, and R/RWBY shuts down the posts. Dextixer makes another giant post insulting the show, the fandom, and the writers?

RWBY mod cirrusvision20 literally said that they refuse to take down his posts no matter how many people protest.

At the end of the day, R/RWBY mods are nothing more than playthings for R/RWBYCritics to harass the fandom.

After all? R/RWBY allows R/RWBYCritics to share posts to their subreddit in order to encourage harassment against RWBY Fans and the show.

Use other subreddits to teach people about RWBY. Do not insult, but educate them.

Show them that the writers were not bullied into writing bumbleby.

Show that James Ironwood was always a dictator.

Show that Adam Taurus was always evil.

Show them the Bumbleby build-up

But more importantly, remind them that if they don't want to see the RWBY Hate videos, there is always Youtube channel blockers they can look for online on google search to shut out the people with more SDE than andrew tate.

New Years is coming this Saturday. I hope you and everyone else gets to join some social or party with your friends to make the best of the end of this year.

God bless!

I'm tired of rwde. They are hysterical. They are hypocritical. They're misogynistic. Seriously I haven't seen a single post defending the team rwby or another female or queer person. They are constantly picking on the show, only defending their favourites. They just ignore the bad sides of the characters. They have all the other characters to blame, but not their favourites.

I literally saw a post where rwde accused Ozpin of creating a class divide in Atlas.

Rwde say "why didn't Ruby have two weapons? " Honey you'd be hysterical the same way if Ruby had two weapons. Or their screaming that Weiss doesn't deserve an allusion to wings.

It's so annoying. If they don't like the show so much, why are they watching it? Why do they talk about rewriting it every time? A rewrite that accomplishes what? More Jaune? More harem? More other male characters and belittling female characters?

The issue I came across was where if you try to provide resources to combat that negativity and hate? Whether in the form of defense posts defending the show? Explaining where the hate comes from? Or even lists of youtube channels you can go to that are positive?

They'll try their best to shut it down. And it hurts because "positive youtubers" defend them.

Fatmanfalling harassed a random girl on Twitter who said she was enjoying RWBY.

Practically every RWBYTuber LEAPT to his defense and shut down anyone who criticized him.

During the Sapphic Polls of this year, the Bumbleby haters started promoting so much hatred against the ship, that anyone criticizing them for that hatred was shut down.

The only reason that hatred has gotten so out of control was because in the name of "valid criticism" anything and everything bashing RWBY has become "valid" no matter how much of a lie it is.

Meanwhile, anything and everything defending RWBY has become "toxic positivity".

Whenever somebody says "the hentai and fanfics are better than the show," you know you're looking at people who want media where female protagonists over male ones are removed and LGBT content is minimized.

RWDE now literally pretends to be victims of the fandom and relies on influencers to promote their false-flag attacks.

Nice to meet a fellow Cartoon Fan!

Yes, I've received two this week in the form of anonymous harassments. There's some tumblr asks I don't answer. Twitter and reddit are especially guilty of that harassment, but I'm concerned how...

Canonseeker, you are one of the main reasons why people outside of RWBY community hate it. Why dont you show everyone the 5+ Reddit accounts you have active RIGHT NOW with which you them go into LGBT+ spaces to talk about RWBY, and then insult others when they dont agree with you.

The thread that i made recently is very much about you and the many people on Tumblr and twitter that go out of their way to defend you, KNOWING what you do.

They KNOW that you have 100+ alts on various websites, they KNOW that you spam “self-abuse” reports on Reddit, they KNOW that you stalk women and Youtubers of the fandom.

Also, you are one sneaky liar. Why do you not include the context of those tweets? Because they were not about RWBY, those tweets were in response to ACTUAL NAZIS and people who said “Hitl*r was a nice guy”, YEA, and you are trying to paint that as a bad thing?

Funnily enough you also revealed that you follow my accounts and mass report them with this.

Let me tell you something, i will NEVER apologize for telling Nazis to minecraft themselves. Maybe you feel protective of them, i dont know. But i dont.

But continue lying, continue bullshiting the community.

Because if the RWBY community defends you and keeps defending you despite the MANY things you have did, they deserve you.

So, lets summarize Canonseeker.

You have 100+ alt accounts created to stalk and harass and mass report people. You spend your entire time creating new alt accounts to spam LGBT+ communities with RWBY content and then harassing them if they show any kind of dislike for it. You are defending LITERALY NAZIS that were talking about the “Jewish Question” on twitter and multiple transphobes that i responded to on Twitter.

Please, oh please do continue, because you are the walking proof to everything i say, especially how the fandom isnt progressive. Because if the fandom is going to give me shit over saying bad things to NAZIS then im just going to LAUGH.

Don’t be fooled by the pink, she is not playing dolls 👀

"Neopolitan was able to brush off the snide remarks from her new classmates, who snickered and scoffed as she pulled out her frilly parasol. They didn't think highly of her now, but they'd be on the other end of it soon enough.” - (RWBY After One Thing Book 2, The Team CFVYN AU.)

Calxiyn’s Rooster Teeth production leaks reveal secrets of Gray Haddock’s time as RT Head of Animation

RWBY Youtuber Calxiyn has today put up a Google Doc (and accompanying video) detailing several anonymous complaints from within Rooster Teeth regarding the now-former Head of Animation Gray Haddock and also-now-former Supervising Producer Koen Wooten and the difficult production cycle they administered. Some of the accusations paint a rather harsh view of Haddock’s management style and point to accusations of potential embezzling, a heightened ego and usage of his position as Head of Animation to strike fear in his staff and keep complaints on the down low. I’m gonna do my best to share this around and take screenshots of the more important claims in case of the worst, but please share at the sources when possible. 

Calxiyn makes great pains to stress that all of these accusations are allegations at best but also stresses that everyone they talked to did work or currently work at Rooster Teeth. 

“Gray was shitty & fired people in mass. Was a bit shocked. Genlock’s production caused a lot of the current issues. And Gray had stepped down for a hike after everything came to light before RTX. Things were so bad that most of animation now refuse to work on Genlock”

Gray cared about Gray. He locked himself in his office the whole time or was out galavanting in japan having fun. He'd hold company meetings weekly to brag about the fun stuff he did until he, miles and kerry got in trouble from higher up because so many people complained about it. Probably one of the worst bosses I’ve had. I didn't work on genlock thank god. I was super worried about it as Gray was in charge sounds like all my fears were merited too from what ive heard

C: The anonymous poster also mentioned Keon Wooten but I don’t know anything about them. Like the post basically said he enabled Gray but idk who the dude is so do you know anything about that? Also thank you for responding to me : )

S3: Wooten is an asshole. Koen is the one right below Gray. head producer. He's a hollywood producer (worked for michael bay for 7 years). he gets people to do work by promising them what they want then making excuses or blaming them for not delivering

C:  Other sources are talking about how Gray prevented people from having creative control. Did you hear anything about that from any of the shows? Nomad, RWBY etc

Like that the plan was to do x, but Gray came and forced them to do y instead which was far from what they wanted to do

S3: Well the guy who created Nomad had it basically taken from him

C: How did that go down?

S3: Sadly I wasn't in 2D so i only heard it off-hand

Source 3 goes on to say that Miles and Kerry were fine to work with (”super nice people”) and seemed oblivious as to Gray and Koen’s actions behind their backs. 

C: 2) In the anonymous post from yesterday they discuss gen:LOCK going super over budget. Did things need to be cut or rushed because they were blowing gen:LOCK money?

S2:  Gray supposedly took some of 2Ds money to dip into his own project THAT HE HAD FULL CONTROL ON. Some other shows were rushed.

S2:  Grays personality is either he's completely clueless or knew exactly what he was doing and is a sociopath, it's hard to say, either way not leadership material in my opinion and never took responsibility for ANYTHING. 

S2:  I think Gen:lock was something he pushed through himself and because he was the head he could make the final call to show it to burnie and Matt on his own and push it over the other 3D pitches. Gray was already using company money to make concept art and work for it, without it being greenlit. The whole thing was sketchy. 

S2:  People were afraid of Gray because he was “Gray was judge, jury, and executioner”.  

Cal then goes on to say that Gray’s position as Head of Animation made workers hesitant to go to the HR department due to fears that they would be fired. Eventually someone went to Matt Hullum directly to tell him about the working conditions, after which Hullum stormed into the animation department and crammed everyone into a room. This seems to be where the choice was made to let Gray go. 

Calxiyn’s final source talks more about how Nomad of Nowhere suffered during this timeframe:

S4: gen:Lock and Nomad were greenlit around the same time, but Gray put more time, budget, and resources for preproduction on gen:Lock. Nomad as a result was pushed up in the schedule, only had two months of preproduction before animation had to start. The creator of Nomad wasn’t offered a lead position and was barely consulted on the story or art. That’s all I’m willing to say about that. This is something that almost anyone in the animation department can tell you. I don’t want to talk about Nomad as everything that went into that is way more complicated and there’s no way I have the full story as it feels like all the incompetency that led to the 2D department having to crunch back to back that year goes further and further up.

S4: There’s actually an episode of Off Topic where Geoff jokingly likens Gray to a slave driver when talking about the animation department. Little did he know how apt that comparison actually was.

While the fact remains that at their core these are anonymous accusations and ones that may very well be false, I have a gut feeling that these are legitimate compared to some of the other accounts from supposed “RT insiders.” If even half or just a quarter of the accusations are true it’s a damning picture of Haddock’s management, to say nothing of how taking funds and putting them into Genlock concept art before the show was greenlit and then taking funds from Nomad for Genlock can potentially open Gray up to accusations of embezzling. Which for those who need a reminder:

I’d like to thank Calxiyn for putting all this together. Hopefully now that the worst elements in the higher ups have been removed between Gray and Koen and the supposed managerial improvements being overseen by Margaret M. Dean, RT Animation can solve the issues that seem to have been plaguing it for the past year or so.

VYTALCast was another success at RTX 2019!! We discussed the RWBY Panel, the Volume 7 clip, our favorite bits of Volume 6 and more! (also I do a big surprise on the audience)
