Which RWBY characters do you think were underutilised? For me, it’s:
          Whitley
          Doctor Oobleck
          Professor Port
          Team SSSN-Team(Excluding Sun)
          Taiyang
          Tuckson
          Maria
          Robyn
          Sienna Khan
          Ren

Well this list I pretty much have to agree with you on that because I personally don’t have a list on my own on which character was under listed.

@OverseeingNerd142 I want to ask, what do you think of this song being used in the Second Great War when Ruby and Cinder have their final clash:
          https://youtu.be/XeMMpJb1oiY?si=nKw8v_ydtowi3i_I
          I’m asking because it’s going to be one of the biggest fights in the story and I want to give it the justice it deserves.

Now that is an awesome song collection for this final fight it brings out the potential Ruby is showing against someone who wants to burn everything in her path and take control. While Ruby wants to use her powers to protect those that she cares about so I love the vibe and music to this song it fits very well my friend.

@OverseeingNerd142 I want to ask, do you have any songs you can recommend for my stories? I’d like your suggestions.

I’ve never heard of nerd core music, Fabvl, DizzyEight, Rustage, and CG5. I looked them up now, but I’m not a fan of rap. That said, I am familiar with NateWantsToBattle, Thai McGrath and Divide Music.
            
            I’m even planning on using their tracks for my stories! Let me give you some.

Have you ever heard of nerdcore music because I feel like that can make it interesting to mix in something that brings out a character’s progression as a whole in a story. So I would recommend listening to Fabvl, DizzyEight, Divide Music, Rustage, CG5, NateWantsToBattle, Thai McGrath, and Dizzy Eight when you get the chance and see what I mean.

Just to let you know, RWBY Izuku’s favourite food will still be Katsudon, but he’ll also begin to love hot chocolate as well. He mainly drinks it because Ozpin is craving it, but as the merge increases, he’ll begin to love it.

quirkstan

@OverseeingNerd142 OH! I forgot. Izuku will also have a nickname given to him. 
            U.A.’s Shining Beacon

          1. How would you have liked Ruby p’s character to have been handled in RWBY?
          2. Do you think Ruby should’ve helped upgrade her teammates’ weapons and help them expand their arsenal?
          3. What’s your opinion of Bumblebly?
          4. Which RWBY Volume is your favourite and why?
          5. Do you think Weiss and Blake’s earlier friction should’ve been more prevalent and nuanced? Both sides having points, but are ignoring certain things.
          6. Do you think Ren should’ve gotten rid of Stormflower after defeating the Grimm that destroyed his village in Volume 4?

@OverseeingNerd142 
            5. Agreed. It’s true Weiss was right to hate the White Fang. She grew with a target on her back, saw people she knew “disappear” and packages she received from fans of her concerts likely to be bombs from the White Fang. What I felt would have been better where it seems; not, Ruby and Yang side more with Blake, this causes Weiss to feel alone. They’re her teammates. People are supposed to look out for her, so why aren’t they taking her side after hearing what the White Fang put her through? It shows Weiss is afraid of not having someone be there for her. Willing to help her truly. It also implies that she chose Beacon to get away from the White Fang’s factions in Vale, so having a former member also be here makes her worries more profound. 
            
            With Blake, Sun should’ve told her she was being unfair to Weiss. Yes, the SDC has caused Faunus a lot of pain and he isn’t fond of it, but Weiss is a 17 year-old girl. She likely grew up sheltered and didn’t know the reality of the situation behind Faunus discrimination to form an unbiased view for herself. Sun would easily see through Blake, saying she called the White Fang “misguided” because Weiss' words targeted her without the former knowing it. Sun lists the crimes the White Fang has done, how they caused many people to bend over for Faunus out of fear. So, it may be that Weiss’ racism is just a cover up to hide how deeply scared she is. 
            
            6. I never liked them to be honest. Stormflower’s bullets are like peashooters, seeming to do nothing but aggravate Grimm. The design is also impractical, plus, they don’t help him much in fights.

            3. I never really liked it. Yang and Blake have issues that feed into each other and cause them to become what the other didn’t need them to be. Why people thought pairing a girl with abandonment issues with a girl with a habit of abandoning anything that becomes too difficult, baffles me. Yang says she wants freedom, but her history and actions beg to differ. Her need for freedom is a mask of insecurity in which she's trying to depend solely on herself so the betrayal of abandonment is never a factor. However, she is constantly putting herself in danger for others, not running away when the option is available, and willingness to wait for others doesn't scream adrenaline junky seeking freedom. It screams terrified little girls begging for stability.
            
            Blake could never offer such a sanctuary.
            
            Yang and Blake’s relationship will turn disastrous after the “honeymoon” phase is over. Yang becomes possessive and angry, and Blake becomes cautious and trapped. Yang would lash out, justify it later; say she’s doing what she’s doing because she loves Blake, and promises to do better if BLAKE stayed. Blake’s heard all of that from Adam. It’s nothing new to her. She knows where it will end.
            
            I’m not judging your choice, but Blake and Yang’s relationship feels like trauma bonding if anything. Their relationship COULD work if neither of them have the emotional baggage that they do or at the very least, addressed it.

            Personally, I felt like Ruby was a static character. She’s THE main character of RWBY, but her issues and character growth took the back burner while other characters got to grow and receive ample screen time. Ruby’s voice actor even stated that Ruby’s the kind of person who buries her problems and focuses on others. There was a lot to work with based off of this. The plot could have worked on showing the weight of leadership following Volume 4, showing Ruby’s incompetence so that it shows she’s trying to compensate for her shortcomings during Volume 3. She didn’t know how to read a map. Jaune could’ve read it, which he could by pointing out to Ruby the locations on it as he’s gone on camping trips in Haven with his family when he was younger.
            
            Roster Teeth tried to show Ruby as a character who changes the world but isn’t changed by it in doing so. They sadly failed to hit their mark with this narrative. It could’ve worked if Ruby’s convictions are what drove the story forward, not the story driving them forward. And Ruby’s convictions didn’t really match the direction of the series' story.

@OverseeingNerd142 I’ve been meaning to ask, how would you feel if the USJ Nomu returned during the Dark Hero Arc?

quirkstan

@OverseeingNerd142 Hehehehe. Don’t worry about. It’s fine. As for who will beat it, that’s a huge spoiler, so I can’t reveal. But what I can say is that Izuku’s got his hands full with another enemy, so he can’t face the USJ Nomu.

@quirkstan I’m sorry I had a outburst earlier I was shocked when you said Izuku won’t be the one to beat it at all so now I’m really interested in your rewrite now.

Here’s the new response Rabbitzuu2 gave me to that question you had a while ago:
          “ I apologize about the confusion, The Lizard event will happen first, but by then; Izuku will have learned to keep his distance from Melissa, but then Melissa will feel shame for making Izuku feel alone when he was fighting on his own all this time and saved her, despite the way she treated him months prior.  And then with the added event of Harry's death, Melissa will want to help Izuku through his grief, but Izuku isolates himself and Melissa will feel conflicted as to what to do, realizing that she made Izuku feel this way for over 9 months.  They will eventually reconcile at the end of the Kamino Incident.”

OverseeingNerd142

Ahh now I understand thank you I really appreciate this because I was confused as hell trying to figure out what will happen next. But the part of what he said that they will reconcile at the end of Kamino Incident kind of feels like a point in every MHA story where things are gonna change in a big way. Also I can’t believe I have to wait that long for them to get themselves together I hope the wait is worth it.
