Let's talk about sex. which RWBYs would be the best at threesomes? skill and teamwork are a must have
Black magician girl is my favorite rwby character
Hey guys, whatcha talking about
Neo would be the best at dominating two people at once.
Ruby and Yang, obviously. That sibling connection would keep them in-sync.
Probably one of the people with a clone semblance; such as Sun, Blake or Flynt
A-ah, Reese-sama! Don’t mind us, we’re just talking about our usual nonsense...
The facial expressions in this are really confusing and off-putting.
...
I assume that Pyrrha is supposed to have been left brain-dead by some combat injury, while Jaune is simultaneously relieved she’s alive but also devastated she’s a vegetable.
After Shatner shatposting in /tv I'm actually curious if there are RT lurking at this moment. And if so, at least bring back Neo.
>tfw the only way arkos can happen now is if jaune dies and sees pyrrha on the other side
Nah it's the events of Season 3. Jaune is trying to make the moment last while Pyrrha is strangely at peace and fixated on destiny (aka damn leaf) as she fades away.
We need best brown girl back

The only three who matter.
It was absolutely the long game, man. Neither he nor even we know if Salem will just dispose of all her human associates later on. Indeed, she gets along very well with some of them. As far as he knew he was guaranteeing his and Neo’s survival into an inevitable new world despite the horrific short-term actions.
And I have listened to plenty of bitter old characters. Angry ranting about how cold and unforgiving the world is is perfectly plausible for a character who has gone through a harsh life. Which he did, as per commentary noting he had a sad backstory.
Over-generalising like that isn’t immature... It’s just human. We all see the world through some sort of lens, he just happened to develop a really shitty one.
...
Sculptor user is a dude, I’m pretty sure.
Ruby being a trashcan in chibi with no real prompting during the final weeks of our time in /trash/ did make me raise an eyebrow.
pretty sure the person who posts here is the wife of the guy who sculpted the ironwood head
I know the sculptor is a dude, but his wife on occasion posts here.
>Over-generalising like that isn’t immature
Except it is.That is explictly what it is.
It's not being called childish because it's an angry and bitter rant but the actual words and the sentences being strung together in that rant. He's not giving an tired soliloquy about the brokenness of the world that has an ounce of self awareness or an understanding of what happened. He beat up a sixteen year old, talked about how all hunters died and how she died, ripped off Eddie Guerrero's tag line and stood there like a dumbass and got eaten.
At the end of the day he's just another scared bitch like Raven.
Also how retarded do you have to be to look at what Salem is doing and think, yeah she'll let me live after.
>Roman scared like Raven
Fucks sake man, if anything he was pragmatic. He knew the score and who the strongest players on the field were, So it stands to reason he would join the side most likely to win as the battle for Beacon went down. He probably only would've helped Cinder up to a point and then bugged out with Neo when the heat got too bad from Salem sauntering into Vale with her Grimm army.
>Last Unicorn
Fuck yeah.
Not at all. Humans are wired to stereotype and generalise. Sure, we’re not beholden to this natural inclination, but it’s there for all ages.
The fact of the matter, in regard to his experience, is that we know for a fact that he’s been alive for a long time and gone through a lot of shit, so he can’t be naive and uniformed. A child would be making assumptions, but he’s basing it all on a lot of life experience. Yes he is wrong, but not for a lack of experience.
I think a better way to put it is that he’s extremely jaded rather than childish.
> Also how retarded do you have to be to look at what Salem is doing and think, yeah she'll let me live after.
She was already elevating Cinder, who was in turn “protecting” Em and Merc. Roman had good reason to think that making himself useful to Salem was the right move.
>Fucks sake man, if anything he was pragmatic. He knew the score and who the strongest players on the field were, So it stands to reason he would join the side most likely to win as the battle for Beacon went down.
Which would be Ozpin's side considering the fact that pre maiden Cinder and her posse were terrified of Ozpin and Qrow and even after Ruby with her eyes, which Ozpin secured burned her to bits.
>He probably only would've helped Cinder up to a point and then bugged out with Neo when the heat got too bad from Salem sauntering into Vale with her Grimm army.
And this one is just dumb because it would have been smarter to just bug out in the begining instead of sticking around long enough that you have a guaranteed execution waiting for you on the good side and a brutal sadistic murder waiting for you for running on the bad side.
You're just making him look like even more of a fucking idiot.
help im handcuffed to ruby
help im handcuffed to yang
help im handcuffed to blake.
no seriously, HELP.
help i'm handcuffed to blake
at least it's not with blake
>Not at all. Humans are wired to stereotype and generalise. Sure, we’re not beholden to this natural inclination, but it’s there for all ages.
And that is what in humanity is seen as the idiotic and stupid part of humanity that almost everyone says you have to give away to not be a dumbass.
>The fact of the matter, in regard to his experience, is that we know for a fact that he’s been alive for a long time and gone through a lot of shit, so he can’t be naive and uniformed.
Except he can.
>A child would be making assumptions, but he’s basing it all on a lot of life experience. Yes he is wrong, but not for a lack of experience.
Okay I don't know why you are so insistent that his really just childish view of the world, even one as no pun intended grim as Remnant, isn't but let's correct a few assumptions.
Experience doesn't mean jack shit in terms of how mature or educated or informed your opinion is. You can bombard someone with all the knowledge and experience you want but what they take away from it is what matters and what Roman spewed out was both a very naive idea of how the world works and uninformed and childish take on it.
The kid who grows up getting his ass kicked by his dad and decides that he's going to beat his kid too because that's how the world works is a naive, stupid and malicious asshole.
For fucks sake he was going to kill a sixteen year old because he thought doing so would endear him to and ensure his survival with a demonic being of evil and one of her fucking creatures ate him.
For all his claims that hunters die because they're not survivors like him, he got killed by a creature from his side. And in the meta sense he was only kept around to ease production and tossed aside the second they didn't need him anymore.
If committing open insurgency and the grimm invasion weren’t enough to scare him away, then I highly doubt that anything that came afterwards would make him run.
And say what you will about Salem, but she values useful assets. Roman probably could’ve quite comfortably carried on as one of Cinder’s minions after the Battle of Beacon.
Real talk for a minute why are all the good guys in this show so incompetent?
because they are teenagers
But the adults are just as bad if not worse
Because evil is practical and good is dumb.
They're kind of not. It's just that the bad guys are straight up cheating with what they do.
because plot demands the bad guys come off as competent
But none of Salem's minions are competent either.
...
How are they cheating? They use any and all means to achieve their goals. This isn't a game of Scrabble, it's war.
They're only competent because Ozpin and his "allies" are bad at their jobs
True, plus the bad guys are actively setting shit into gear, not waiting around patiently with cryptic plans and waiting for the other side to make the first move.
Salem really wants the macguffin relics, and Oz is too passive playing defense. Plus, you know, plot armor convenience for all the cloak and dagger shit they do.
More competent than the good guys
How do you manage to consistently interject opinions that are both useless and not related at all to what is being said.
Because they're led by a guy who was punished thousands of years ago for being a big fuckup and he still isn't even close to beating the bad guy.
> Experience doesn't mean jack shit in terms of how mature or educated or informed your opinion is.
I think you’re confusing my points with saying his viewpoint is somehow more valid or accurate because he’s older. It isn’t, he does have a very warped and very wrong worldview. My point is that he isn't expressing that view with assumptions, or without a backstory that justifies coming that those conclusions.
Both him and an edgy teen would both be wrong for saying that stuff, but for different reasons.
> For fucks sake he was going to kill a sixteen year old
I mean, that’s not much of a moral leap for him. He found it exhilarating when he thought he killed her in episode 1. I think he was already a thoroughly bad man without Salem getting him into terrorism.
I'm still not sure how he is punished
He's essentially immortal, no matter what Salem does he can keep coming back to fuck with her
It seems like its more of a punishment for her than him
But even then they suck. Cinder only managed to steal HALF of the Fall Maiden's power because she fucked up a basic ambush, Cinder got her ass cucked by Ruby's silver eyes, Roman (god bless his soul) couldn't manage a basic heist and later got eaten by Grimm, Neo is MIA due to Roman's death so CMEN is down to just CME, Adam is basically using Salem for his own gain and is the worst ally imaginable, oh wait Leo and Raven exist so I guess Adam is okay by comparison. Really they are just Team Rocket tier, only they are edgy about it.
The only way you could measure their success would be in the simple chaos their defeat at Beacon created, which is a lot like saying that you 'won' by virtue of the other side losing. Everybody lost the Battle of Beacon. Everybody.
In fairness I think some of that comes from the villains constantly attacking from a position of surprise and deception. Salem isn’t a very concrete enemy, so this good guys are limited in how they can retaliate.
The gods made him reincarnate everytime he dies until he defeats Salem. He can never die in peace until the job is done.
>Everybody lost the Battle of Beacon. Everybody.
The Grimm didn't though
A frozen dragon says otherwise.
What the fuck are you trying to argue?
>My point is that he isn't expressing that view with assumptions, or without a backstory that justifies coming that those conclusions.
And the point you're arguing against is someone calling him childish and naive which the points are.
Are you trying to argue that he has justifications for what he believes? Is that what you're argueing? Because that doesn't change the fact that what he believes never really evolved past that stage teenagers have where they experience the world for the first time and see it in such a simplistic and naive way.
> The only way you could measure their success would be in the simple chaos their defeat at Beacon created
But a world in turmoil and distrust is exactly what Salem wants, and the Battle of Beacon started off a huge wave of that stuff. So if you’re measuring Salem’s success by turmoil, then it was a huge victory for her.
What happens if Ozpin says fuck it and lets Salem win?
If she wipes out humanity then there won't be any humans left for him to merge with, and then he can die in peace"
Exactly what is the god's plan if the guy they "punished" quits playing by their rules?
>But a world in turmoil and distrust is exactly what Salem wants, and the Battle of Beacon started off a huge wave of that stuff. So if you’re measuring Salem’s success by turmoil, then it was a huge victory for her.
That's what Salem would like to argue, but the fact is that the fall of Beacon could have been far worse and most of the operation's objections were failures. You can't call knocking down Ozpin's sandcastle a victory when your real objective was the Relics and Maidens.
Has Ozpin actually expressed any desire to die?
I’ll try to lay this out clearly for you- calling him childish implies that his problem is inexperience. As far as I know, his worldview stems from his lifetime of misfortune. So jaded is a better word for him.
Her overall objective is to disunity humanity. While missing the relic is a major lost objective, it’s not impeding the big goal being advanced. I don’t think any relic could cause the kind of global negativity and Atlas paranoia that the Beacon battle did.
>calling him childish implies that his problem is inexperience.
Mate type childish into Google.
>calling him childish implies that his problem is inexperience
That's not even the colloquial idea of the word. Do you know what childish means?
Suicidal oz is best oz
>childish
>silly and immature
>of, like, or appropriate to a child.
Yes. Where is experience mentioned?
>Not even ten seconds after they kill Salem Ozpin starts trying to convince Oscar to kill himself
Yeah. Like having a rough life and letting it convince you to embark on series of stupid decisions that get you killed by your own side.
You do realize someone can be childish despite having all the life experiences in the world right?
>Inexperienced
>synonyms: naive, unsophisticated, callow, immature
Okay... Both of thr definitions it have related it back to children. It’s not just simplistic ideas alone, like you’re conflating it with.
Ah, it is mentioned by the definition’s comparison to immaturity and children.
Do Grimm even technically have a side?
>It’s not just simplistic ideas alone, like you’re conflating it with.
It's also doing stupid, badly planned and immature shit.
We desperately need that new episode
Salem literally creates them and controls them.
>People are actually having an argument because someone called Roman childish.
For me, an adult espousing childish ideas would be doing it from a complete or near-complete position of naivety. Them acting childish would be, I don’t know, them acting silly or hyperactive.
...But I’m pretty sure this whole thing started from someone saying that Roman’s wording was childish, not his reasoning. But I didn’t see that as very childish either. A bit dramatic, maybe, but he’s was a Saturday morning kind of villain.
The Grimm weren’t on his side, they’re basically wild animals unless Salem is micromanaging them.
You're right. Have a good night.
I think your’re being childish.
>people feel so passionately on both sides to keep the bullshit argument going
If you were watching the tournament on your TV and heard Cinder's broadcast, what would you think?
>an adult espousing childish ideas would be doing it from a complete or near-complete position of naivety.
Like Roman siding with a genocidal monstrous creature over his obsession with survival that actually got him killed by the creatures that were serving the woman he was?
He thought Salem would let him, a nobody criminal live because he was useful to her.
And beyond that. Yes his wording was childish. His entire arguement was. Hunters die. So I'm going to not because I'm not stupid like them before promptly being eaten.
How much control does she have over them?
I feel like they are more creatures of instinct, than a real army
Which is why she hasn't just made an army to wipe them out
They’re broadly on Salem’s side, but if left to their own devices they’re just anti-human. It seems she can impart her authority over grimm to trusted minions, but otherwise they’re just going to work on that anti-human autopilot.
>"Aw man, that Robot girl was cute"
>but he’s was a Saturday morning kind of villain.
Think really hard about what you just said.
