Enough.

... I hate that I'm pissed because I have a fuckin au idea and this time unlike all the ones I haven't posted yet, this one is... Arkos... SHIT.

Ok my own gripe with arkos and pyrrha aside I should probably explain my idea. So basically me being me aka a fuckin thief I decided to say, "let's give jaune a yuta deal from jjk." Because... I'm sorry I've been in jjk brain rot for the last month.. that and writing branded dogma but we aren't discussing that.

So basically after pyrrha dies to cinder it's not ruby who sees Pyrrha's death but it's actually jaune, and jaune unknowingly unlocked his semblance due to this and, well I have a little theory about semblances or at least I would like them to be handled, semblances manifest when a person has reached the peak of a desire, that semblance thus grants that desire. So basically once Pyrrha's dead jaune's semblance is released and it's a little different, I dub his new semblance, "spectral", basically how it works is he can imbue his aura into a anything and forces it to live, or if someone dies he could force their souls into his service. Anyway that's the idea now for some skits.

Jaune found himself walking with Nora, Ren, and ruby as he watched Ruby looking over the map as she seemed frustrated. Jaune sped up and was next to her as they kept walking.

Jaune: h-hey ruby you alright?

Ruby mumbled something before looking at jaune as she jumped back slightly.

Ruby: dear oum! O-oh jaune! I didn't notice you were beside me, w-what were you saying again?

Jaune: o-oh I was just checking in on you is all.

Ruby: oh well I'm doing great, just annoyed with this stinking map.

Jaune nodded as he hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder and said something but ruby didn't hear as her face went pale with a shiver running down her spine with everything around her just vanishing.

Ruby looked around unnerved before seeing a suit of Spartan armor as a green flame burned from inside of it.

Ruby stepped back as she felt her breathing quicken as the suit of armor stared at her, it didn't have a face but Ruby could feel its stare.

???: jaune... Leave... Jaune... ALONE!

The suit of armor dashed towards summoning a spear as Ruby screamed-

Jaune: RUBY!

Ruby snapped out of it as jaune, Ren and Nora all stare at her in concern. With jaune holding her shoulders as he seemed the most concerned.

Jaune: ruby are you alright, you just f-froze and-

SMACK

Everyone stood in shock as a hand print had found itself across jaunes cheek as Ruby stared at him with her right hand raised to the other side of her head, her eyes wide with fear as she trembled in terror.

Ruby: d-dont.. don't touch me.

Jaune: ruby...

Jaune looked at her his eyes filled with confusion. Ruby stepped away from him as Ren looked at Ruby's demeanor closely.

Ruby: just.. d-dont touch me.. ok?

Jaune looked at her still confused but soon nodded.

Ruby and jaune didn't talk to each the rest of the day.

/////

Everyone had found themselves staring down cinders team as everyone had their weapons at the ready but lowered as cinder glanced at each of them with a smug expression before her attention was focused on the strange blonde fool, she didn't know why but the air around him... It felt... Cursed.

Jaune: you... How dare you act like this...

Cinder raised an eyebrow at the fool as her seemed to shake slightly.

Jaune: walking in here.. acting like this.. wearing all the atrocities you've done... LIKE A BADGE OF HONOR!

Everyone in the area could feel the air get.. cold. Extremely cold, as if the bashful fall had let in the apathetic winter.... No, the hateful freezing cold.

Cinder could feel it.. all of this presence.. where was it coming from?

Jaune: I'm going to make you pay... For everything you've done.

Jaune suddenly bolted towards her his sword at the ready.

Jaune: YOU. PIECE. OF. SHIT!

/////

That's all I got.. so far. If y'all got any questions just fire away in my asks and if you got an idea for the au just tell me.

I am desperately craving someone to hit up my asks so.. yeah.

Without anything else.

Rock on till ya drop. Tata mothafuckers 🤘

Cheers šŸ»

Qrow: oh shit wait hey Blondie.

Jaune: WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE, SPECIFICALLY IN MY SONS CLOSET?!

Qrow: wait.. this is your house... Shit thought I was in Tai's... Anyway mind if I-

Suddenly Qrows face was met with the barrel of one Milo owned by Pyrrha Nikos

Pyrrha: Qrow.. I'm only going to ask this once. LEAVE OR I WILL TURN YOUR CORPSE INTO SWISS CHEESE!

Qrow:... Can I atleast get some beer.

Jamie (Arkos son): *age seven, clutching his blankets* Daddy, there’s a scary man in my closet!

Jaune: *comforting fatherly tone* Jamie, it’s okay…I’m sure there’s nothing to be afraid of…!

Jamie: No, daddy! He’s tall and skinny and he’s part bird!

Jaune: *walks to the closet door* Here, I’ll check in the closet and make sure there’s nothing in there!

Jamie: Daddy, don’t! He’s really scary!

Jaune: *opening the closet door* Jamie, your dad is a trained huntsman! I’m sure I can keep you safe from whatever-

Qrow: *in the closet* AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Jaune: 😱 AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Jamie: 😭 AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

GAH FUCKIN DAMNIT MY DRAGONSLAYER POST IS TAKING TOO LONG

Just you mfs wait! I'll have both y'all balling your eyes out.. I think.

Guilt

Jaune would be at home alone sitting on the sofa with a thoughtful expression on his face, he would get up from the sofa and go to a shelf where there would be a photo of him with Pyrrha.

???: It wasn't her fault Jaune she couldn't control her powers she's just a child...

???: A child with powers that can destroy kingdoms, She has to stop and you already have a history of killing people with that type of power.

Jaune would leave the photo on the shelf and look around confused trying to find where those voices were coming from. After not being able to find it, he would sit on the sofa and feel a hand touching his shoulder and he would look and see that it was Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: She's just confused and scared, Jaune, and I know you can talk to her and convince her that what she's doing is wrong...

Jaune sighed and looked at Pyrrha with a tired expression on his face showing slight anxiety and fear.

Jaune: What if I'm not strong enough or she's gone too far…?

Jaune felt another hand touching his other shoulder but it would be heavier as if he were wearing armor, he would look to his left and see the rusted knight armor.

Rusted Knight: Well I know that you are strong and that she also deserves what is about happen to her. Do you know that among all your friends you are the only one who has the courage to kill someone or did you forget what you did to Penny?

Pyrrha got up and stood in front of the rusted knight who would do the same, thus both coming face to face with each other.

Pyrrha: Jaune isn't a killer or anything like that you're trying to suggest, he only killed Penny on the bridge because it was necessary so that Cinder wouldn't steal Maiden's powers.

Rusted Knight: You're right but maybe all those years those years in ever after maybe showed Jaune's true nature that sometimes we should kill than talk or I have to remember what happened to you to show him the right choice.

Rusted knight snapped his fingers thus changing the scene to a memory of Jaune where he would be Pyrrha Cinder and his daughter with Pyrrha, Cinder would be with Pyrrha against a tree pressing her neck and Jaune would be recovering from a blow until he would look at her daughter before a big flash of red light happens. He would wake up and see Cinder lying on the ground with burn marks and missing both legs and Pyrrha would be on the ground near the tree she was leaning on with a dead expression. Jaune would approach and hug Pyrrha's body and he would only hear his daughter apologizing while her eyes still had the flames of an active maiden.

Rusted Knight: You try to deny it to yourself using this fake pyrrha in your crazy head saying that it's not her fault but you know that deep down, deep down in your broken soul that all of this is her fault and that I'm the only person that can help you get rid of this feeling. Because I am you.

Pug.. you underestimate me and my sheer fuckin GOOFYNESS. So let me show you

Wonderfully Put Good Sir, A New Request, Should You Choose To Accept Ithot Goth Ren And Jaune. They Were

How goofy I shall be!

Jaune found himself applying his lipstick as Ren looked at him.

Ren: may I ask why you decide to go goth?

Jaune: one name, Neon.

Ren:.. why dress like a goth girl, minus the skirt?

Jaune: Ren, my brother from another mother.. I've dressed up like a girl for years because my sisters wanted someone to model them... Plus I may be a tad curious about cross dressing.

Ren: alright then... Can I join?

Jaune: sure thing dude. I should have some extra stuff for you to use.

After a bit they finished up they opened the door and stepped out of their dorm only to stop as they saw team Rwby, Pyrrha, and Nora. The duo and the group stared at each other before Ren gulped softly as jaune spoke with a smile.

Jaune: hey everyone! Don't mind me and Ren, we are just heading to a party neon invited me to.

Nora: ok.. cool.. hey fearless leader you mind if I borrow Ren for a second?

Ren went pale as he looked at jaune.

Jaune: oh sure thing Nora. just be back soon.

Nora: thanks jaune.

Nora grabbed Ren and dragged him away as Nora's face became increasingly more red. Jaune hummed softly as he looked back at the rest of their girls and before he could even speak they pounced on him.

Neither went to the party, they did however go to the infirmary..

their Poor Pelvises are reduced to dust.

A little comparison between Arkos and Huntlow

Despite the fact that Arkos is a romantic relationship and Huntlow can end in various ways (as a romantic couple, platonic or just as besties)Ā I like both relationships a lot and both have something in common: both relationships are based on knowing each other not because of their background, but because they know each other for who they really are and in both relationships they respect the choice and autonomy of both members of both relationships.

In both relationships they are made up of the prodigies:

image
A Little Comparison Between Arkos And Huntlow

and the underrateds:

image
image

Both Hunter and Pyrrha share the theme of their fight against destiny, (even though they both want agency and to be seen as their own personĀ for different reasons the desire remains the same).

On the other hand, Jaune and Willow are underestimated and they're teased for itĀ to the point that they both doubt their own potential (Jaune for his lack of semblance and Willow for not being good with abomination magic).

Jaune and Willow have no idea about Hunter and Pyrrha's background (Hunter is the Golden Guard and Pyrrha is a recognized huntress prodigy) so they treat Hunter and Pyrrha like normal people and they value that so much that they treat Jaune and Willow in return with respect and recognize their potential (Pyrrha teachs Jaune about aura, she helps him unlock it as well as recognize his masive aura, courage and leadership potential and Hunter sees Willow as a powerful and brave witch and an excellent leader).

image
image

So much so that when they discover how Jaune and Willow see themselves (Jaune sees himself as a fraud for cheating to get into Beacon and Willow calling herself a half-witch), Hunter and Pyrrha is shocked by this but still their visions of Jaune and Willow don't change and they become more closer to them.

Hunter and Pyrrha are able to be seen and recognized as their own person outside of their roles and Jaune and Willow are valued as self-sufficient people with great potential that can unlock.

In a Better World 2: ripping off this band aid early

Ozpin: Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Ren and Ilia Amitola, you retrieved the white rook pieces, and will form team APRL(April) lead by Ilia Amitola!

(Ilia barely containing the urge to shift full pink with embarrassment and joy)

Weiss (Offstage applauding her friend): It was the obvious pick, i mean her only real competition for being a team leader was me, and since i’m on a different team it was a sure thing!

Ruby: Then why were you sweating and looking so nervous?

Weiss: Because your cape is crooked! now straighten it out, it will look bad when i’m formally made team leader if my team is in such a state!

(Jaune with Oscar sitting on his shoulders applauds and waves to the group)

(Pyrrha Smiles blushes and sheepishly waves back,)

(Lie Winks at him and gives him a finger gun,)

(Both notice the other’s flirting and lock eyes the first salvos have been fired, the war the blond himbo is on,)

Clem Is Ready To Carry On The Nikos Legacy Of Kicking Ass And Breaking Hearts

Clem is ready to carry on the Nikos legacy of kicking ass and breaking heartsĀ

Fandom Woes Part 1: Big Entertainment Fandoms and their War on Creative Minds

Fandom Woes Part 1: Big Entertainment Fandoms And Their War On Creative Minds

I feel like I need to revamp my points it’s about what I perceive to be a problem with modern fandom, and the first issue is its hostility to creative dissent, especially in form of original works or fanfiction.

It seems that fandoms, Anti-RWDE in this case, have decided how story they liked handled a concept or idea is law and appointed themselves as the police force to enforce said laws, all proclaiming to defend those they deem worthy of the title ā€œcreatorā€ while harassing those the perceived as ā€œbullshit artistsā€ I guess and feel have offended them and those they defend. And these people seem to be waging an ideological conquest of creative thinking in fears of becoming irrelevant.

For example, I explained how I was upset with RWBY the tragic ending of Pyrrha Nikos and her romantic relation with Jaune, and other characters and parings, Sun and Blake, Ren and Nora, Weiss and Neptune, and Ruby and Oscar, all who I dreaded would end up on the chopping block next.

I said how I felt they should have been couples who endured consequences and raised steaks, but they should have been allowed to survive through them, rather than losing each other driving the other forward kinda like Ed and Winry and Roy and Riza from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Or at least they could as a different set of characters in a different epic fantasy story.

That, and recently in retrospect, I’ve been looking at RWBY, it’s characters, and world, the ships I wanted, and what they could have been, some involves radical changes, minor changes, heavily different world building, using my Catholic faith as well as my own fictional universe as a basis.

Right now it’s a heavily reimagined RWBY AU part of a fan fiction multiverse which is mostly experimental, idk I can put up with the likes of Syto-kun’s RWBY Remnants, or Celtic Pyro's Fixing RWBY, but I might make it into an original story, Hell, I might even do both, the former first so I can see what other changes I might need to make,

Now as of recently I’ve discovered a Discord Server which I can discuss these things with other RWBY fans, most of who are also disillusioned with Canon RWBY, in a civil manner. Some agree with me, some don’t, but we all act in respect and good faith and we give each other the benefit of the doubt for our disagreements because we all deeply care about epic story-telling.

But In the past with the Anti-RWDE of the RWBY fandom, or whatever you want to call this a toxic minority, I got from was not honest disagreement, but rather disgust, abhorrence, and sneering.

I was sat down and lectured by toxic individuals how raised steaks and consequences forbid such things now, reading posts about Pyrrha and the likes of her and Jaune were only fit for tragic endings because ā€œthat's the kind of character she is.ā€ as well these loyalists aggrandizing themselves for liking it mocking others like me with things like

"LMAO Holy Shit, you guys wouldn't like Madoka Magica" as if that was a problem

or "Lol go watch RWBY Chibi"

They resorted to passive aggressive judgment, gaslighting, and superior sarcasm at best, ranting and vicious chastisement at worst. Telling me I should trash my desires and ideas and just go watch Disney, Marvel, Romcoms, and Sitcoms instead.

They told me I was acting smug and superior and arrogant for doing a rewrite/reimagining AU or an original story in response how RWBY was handled, that what I did was inherently malicious and hostile towards Monty, and this attitude seems to come from a lot of loyalist fans who like things the way they are, and in my opinion think a little too highly of themselves for liking things that others don’t, but that’s an argument for another day.

Let me give an hypothetical example for their logic

Let's say among the Gurren Laggan and One Piece fanbase, there's a vocal minority of fanatics think that characters like Kamina and Portgas D. Ace and characters like them could only end in death to drive the characters and story forward and nobody was allowed to actively disagree with that, until Trigger recycled Kamina and Yoko as Galos and Aina respectively in Promare(though I think they recycled Kamina for Kill La Kill as Aikuro Mikisugi)Ā 

Fandom Woes Part 1: Big Entertainment Fandoms And Their War On Creative Minds

Then it was okay for small-time creative people, fanfic writers or indie writers, to do it.

Before then, doing that was seen as ā€œhostileā€ towards ā€œcreatorsā€ which they mean those who they deem worthy of the title, and they uphold as the law of epic fiction. Or at the very least, until then, it was seen as stupid and uninteresting.

That's what it seemed like to me, and I could be wrong

But it just came off as off obtuse and narrow-minded at best akin to Professor Membrane from Invader Zim, narcissistic and disingenuous at worst akin to Claude Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame combined with blind consumerist loyalty to big business whether it be western entertainment or anime studios.Ā 

Now I’ve spoken to other people and my friends and others, all who mean well, one person who’s been more patient with me than she should have, who told me I might just have to disengage from the source material since I admitted it won’t change canon RWBY and how I am unhappy with it, and friends who said I should let RWBY go because it’s causing me too much grief while another assumed I wanted no adversity and struggle and wanted it to be all fluffy because I didn’t want mentioned ships ending tragically, and I think I came off as hostile

And I feel like this is more due to my failure to articulate my points, I’m not exactly the best at doing that.

And I don’t want the rest of the RWBY Fandom, RWDE or sane neutral fans to misunderstand me, mostly due to my last reblog I got too heated and not made my point clear

I’m not saying the direction RWBY went with V3 or Pyrrha and the rest of the cast being tragic in some way or another is objectively bad, it was just not my taste

And I am not saying every normal RWBY fan/RWDE person who liked it is an elitist about it nor are all of them trying to insult me and attack me personally or say my ideas are bad but rather help you guys understand my experience with the toxic strain of the fanbase.

and I am not trying to change canon or its ā€œtrajectoryā€ , nor am I doing this to spite Monty, especially when I never knew the guy. This is a difference in handling ideas and concepts.

I’m doing my RWBY AU, which will most likely be revamped into an original story since it takes a whole different directions with the characters and world, but it's mostly because with post V3 and now in retrospect I saw what this world, characters, ships and other ideas could have been all in a story I believe is worth telling. And I was very disappointed and frustrated that it wasn’t along with my own personal exhaustion how epic storytelling has been going in several franchises.

I mean yeah it's also due to personal tastes and preferences and subjective feelings, at least I’ve been told, but I also try to integrate that in a meaningful way.Ā 

Everyone, big business or small time creators, should be allowed to take an idea and take it in a different direction, even if it comes from a place of disagreement and/or distaste.Ā 

That's one of the many ways inspiration works. Some of Tolkien’s own ideas came from his distaste how Shakespere handled the elves and his unhappiness that there were no talking and walking trees in Shakespere’s Macbeth, and the Valar Aule and his creation of the dwarves are akin to an anti-Prometheus.

I mean, what do Anti-Rwde and other toxic fans like them of other franchises expect us to do?

ā€œOh Ding-Dong-Diddly-Darn and Golly Gee Wally-Wilikers guess I gotta go watch another show and hope the storytelling gods give me what I exactly want next time, sure I saw a different story worth telling, but f*ck me I guess!ā€

I can only imagine how many small-time aspiring writers have been intimidated into giving up due to these petty rules these fanatics enforce, invoking the works and names of their appointed idols, even when said individuals and companies didn’t even ask them to in the first place.

It basically felt like to me was this, and I could been wrong here,

"Whatever you thought this story could have been, the world, characters, what ships you wanted, how it all could have played out, its awful, worthless ,and uninteresting and there's something wrong with you for thinking and subjectively feeling that, so you gotta throw it all in the trash unless those we deem worthy of being 'creators' do it first or you bend over backwards for us, and we might let create what you want. Otherwise, you're only allowed to use inspiration from source material you 100% agree with or else your being malicious and not a true storyteller.ā€

And then they used what they liked, whether it be Arkos ending tragically and the dark direction post V3 or Bumbleby over Black Sun in V9, as an opportunity to aggrandize themselves, flaunt their tastes and what they also like and mock and sneer at everyone else who’s unhappy and force their preferences onto said dissidents. All for what seemed like to me for pride, moral superiority, and social currency.

and they would turn around and lecture you for being entitled, smug, superior and smelling your own farts.

And once again, this isn’t directed at sane fans and RWDE who liked these things for honest reasons and objective analysis, you guys are fine and this is not towards you, its to help you guys understand where I'm coming from.

And from what I've heard, there's someone amongst the anti-rwde/rwby rewrite by the name of LilithFairen who used this to attack Fixing RWBY RWBY and Madoka Magica and fans of the latter.

While I don't like Gen Urobuchi's work myself and Fixing RWBY sounds too dark for me, I do not condone her behavior. Bullying behavior is not justified wether be based on objectively good storytelling or personal/subjective feelings or personal taste/distaste.

My grief is with a toxic contingent with fandom, who seem conceited, self-righteous, and self-absorbed that they think what they like, from broad things like lighthearted to grimmdark to nitty-gritty details like concepts and what direction they go, are the objective end-all-be-all law of epic fiction.

The only exception they'll make is those they admire who they see as the lawgivers who can write and repeal these "laws" and then once again appoint themselves as the police force to enforce these laws onto the peasants who they believe are obligated to be obedient to their will.Ā 

People who have less wealth power than those they claim to defend.

This certainly has happened on the opposite side of the spectrum in the past.

With the Gmod community I used to be a part of in, the toxic among the My Little Pony fandom of Gmod flaunted the success of MLP and championed themselves as the avatars of friendship and accused anyone who didn’t like the show or aspects about it, especially due to personal taste and subjective feelings as those who hated friendship. And I've heard horror stories in regards to the Steven Universe Fandom.

And for a while, individuals like these on both sides of the light and dark spectrum had managed to get away with this.

Until, there’s been a growing audience who’s been tired with Big Entertainment, and choosing between what seemed to me either pure grimmdark or pure lighthearted

People who these individuals had at best, dismissed as the minority, and perhaps we were for a while.

But from my perspective, that changes over the years, it's a natural swing of the pendulum.

Now that's not to say an objectively well written story can withstand that, that's what critics are for, and neither does it mean subjective and personal feelings and tastes/distastes should be disregarded either, but all of this is for another topic for another day.

Until recently, many creative writers and audiences were limited to companies and corporations who’s mandates in creating works was very limited, and many stories, while didn’t follow these standards, were not well planned out and executed.Ā Sword Art Online being my personal example.

Not to mention, in the past fan fiction was also seen as a joke due to teenager fan fiction stereotypes and the likes of 50 Shades of Grey.

Thus, making any contesting ideas against the status quo seem inherently bad and keeping any dissident voices in zones of restrictive dissent.

But the world isn’t like that anymore.

With people becoming increasingly disillusioned with the likes of Hollywood, Fanfiction has been getting significant amount of attention as well there being a bold new movement of storytellers going indie, and with new effective online indie platforms from webcomics, to novels, kickstarter and indiegogo, and the likes of YouTube all of which are also getting attention, and challenging or at least contrasting certain ideas and concepts from other works in epic fiction or how they are handled, all without the Anti-RWDE’s authorization.

In other words, creative individuals no longer need to bend over backwards to publish their visual stories on effective platforms.

Which, at least what it seems to me, makes these toxic individuals realize that epic fiction and its handling of certain kinds of concepts, characters, tropes, characters, worlds, and ships, right down to their ultimate fates, do not revolve solely around their terms or at least the terms of those they worship. Which in turn makes them insecure and upset.

So I have a message to Anti-RWDE and other zealot fans of these franchises who do this

Like it or not, and whether you agree with them or not, these dissident fans and creators are your only equal in this equation.Ā 

The fact you would resort to your little manipulative games and would even go so far as to suck up those who you deem worthy of the title ā€œcreatorā€ and have more power and wealth than we do to enforce these stupid rules puts you all a significant step away from your peers.

Which might sound inconsequential to you now, but in the long run will hurt you all, gravely.

because one day some of these dissidents will use that they liked and what they wanted to create fantastical epics in various indie formats(novels, webcomics, YouTube web-series, etc) or AU FanFiction, or most likely both

Whether the inspiration comes from a place of agreement or dissent

And when you come along to sneer at it and accuse it being ā€œhostileā€ and ā€œleeching offā€ other creators because its inspiration came from a place of disagreement, especially without any analytical evidence, you’ll end up enraging the audiences of those works, who might have been dissident and disappointed fans of the works you enjoy, and are now finally getting works that resonate to their tastes both broad things like lighthearted, grimmdark, or something in the middle and nitty gritty like concepts and what directions they go.

And they’ll remember how you mocked, lectured, gaslit and policed them and told them what they wanted was ā€œuninterestingā€ and inherently ā€œmaliciousā€ towards those you deem worthy of the title ā€œcreatorsā€, and how you went so far as to suck up to ā€œThe Manā€ to do so.

I’m a Catholic, I’m taught revenge is sinful, but the other reality is that some people aren't as graceful as others, and those people may decide to give you a taste of your own medicine.

Those ā€œcreators" aren’t gonna be there to help you when that happens, I guarantee it.Ā 

Because most of them don’t care about this whole ordeal, and might even be completely unaware of it, nor do they know who you are.

So maybe instead of jumping to broad accusations, bad faith, and intentionally misinterpreting what people are saying and their thoughts and subjective feelings, and assume this creative disagreement is inherently hostile, smug, and malicious, all without any evidence, you ask constructive questions or just disagree honestly instead.

Because of your only intention is to suppress alternative ideas, preferences, thoughts, and feelings along with lecturing everyone and silence a discussion of such things because they come from a place of disagreement and displeasure, especially when you say ā€œIt’s not gonna change canonā€, then you should be the first person to walk away from the debate.

Because let’s say what we had in mind is just pandering, and nobody in would find it interesting, along with considering the fact whatever we do ā€œwont change canonā€ of the stories you enjoy

With all things considered, then I dare ask, what are you doing in our conversations?

Why are you getting mad and jumping into our discussions?

Why are you trying to control what we create and enjoy, especially because we disagreed how something was handled?

Either we make a reimagined AU fanfic, or recycle what we liked and wanted for our original works.

Either way, as you said it yourself, it won’t change canon, people don’t find it interesting, and it’s only pandering to people who you seem to not like, so why are you inserting yourself into our discussions in the first place?

If we are making it your problem, how are we? Because we created something in disagreement how certain ideas and concepts were handled and we put it out there and it’s getting attention? Is someone making you consume our stuff?

Because from where I'm standing, you guys are the ones going out of your way to make it your problem, which in turn you use to justify in your mind what you do to other people.

Because you want to control and suppress what us poor people create and enjoy as well as control and suppress what we think and subjectively feel. Which is at best, very weird.

We're trying to do our own thing, and you're trying to control other people.

If you truly believe what you like is the end-all-be-all and transcends all of this and you yourself are superior for liking these things, then do yourself a favor, save yourself the time and energy, and get out of our tags, servers, and conversations.

Just move along and continue to enjoy whatever those you deem worthy to be ā€œcreatorsā€

These types of fans of RWBY, and MCU, Star Wars, and any other franchise for that matter need to take that advice

ā€œIt’s not gonna change canon, it’s not for you, disengage from the material, and move onā€

Because that advice only works, when you are fine when things are going

See the irony there?

If you’re fine the way it's going, and someone is actively disagreeing with it, especially through creative works…

ā€œIt’s not gonna change canon, it’s not for you, disengage from the material, and move onā€

Just do not insert yourself into this.

Just mind your own business, and just gossip about it in your own groups, tags, and forums.

Be that indifferent, loyal, and culturally and morally superior overman/overwoman that you just love to position yourself as in these discussions and leave us alone.
