Knowing the Stu...

New mission! by Iximaz on 2016-01-07 06:21:00 UTC Reply

The Aviator and Zeb head into RWBY, and Zeb has fun with decorating for the holidays.

I meant to get this out around Christmas, but family came up to visit and I got distracted. By family. Certainly not by World of Warcraft, not at all, why would you say such a thing.

Enjoy!

IÂ’m confused. by Hieronymus Graubart on 2016-01-07 19:57:00 UTC Reply

This shouldn’t be surprising, because I don’t know anything about RWBY. Astonishingly enough, I could follow the events quite well, until this happened:

The Aviator waited while Zeb opened a portal and disappeared through it, pulling a DVD copy of volume one out of her pockets.
Was Zeb suddenly genderbent, did he actually pull the DVD out of the Aviator’s pockets, or was this the Aviator pulling the DVD out of her pockets while she waited for something?

Zeb closed the portal behind her and approached the Stu.
So Zeb was genderbent? Silly me! The Aviator pulled the DVD out of her pocket while she waited for Zeb opening the portal and disappearing through it, so that she could follow, and then Zeb closed the portal behind her.

Only at the beginning of the next page I realized that actually the Aviator had disappeared through the portal while pulling out the DVD, and Zeb didn’t pass through a portal before he approached the Stu. Putting a comma between "Zeb opened a portal" and "and disappeared through it" might have spared me a lot of trouble, although the sentence still looks a bit weird.

Fun mission. I liked it.

Ah, whoops. I'll fix that ASAP. by Iximaz on 2016-01-07 20:01:00 UTC Reply

^^; My bad. Thanks for spotting that.

Glad to know you liked everything else, though!

Also: Do I sense some Sofia The First missions in the future? ;)

Maaaybe. by Iximaz on 2016-01-07 17:35:00 UTC Reply

I started watching the series on a whim and never expected to get hooked. Unfortunately, only the first season (minus the pilot episode, grr) is on Netflix, so I dunno when I'll be able to even consider working on a mission.

The Sofia Badfics are probably the source of future badfics by Mattman The Comet on 2016-01-07 17:41:00 UTC Reply

cause let's be honest, I'm pretty sure it's among the popular shows on Disney Jr

Why did my cable provider replace Nick with Disney Jr

Yay, new mission! by eatpraylove on 2016-01-07 16:10:00 UTC Reply

I liked the joke about the Wassailia candles and the Festivus pole. I don't remember what the Feats of Strength are, exactly, but I bet seeing Zeb try to complete them would be hilarious anyway. :)

I guess it was only a matter of time till RWBY got a straight-up bad anime OC, given how anime-like it already is. Has somebody written a story about where Ren came from? I know Jaune's from another part of Remnant, but I think Ren's from the equivalent of China as well...? Gosh, I need to get back into RWBY.

Yeah, I know. by Iximaz on 2016-01-07 17:55:00 UTC Reply

But the Stu has only a missing mother and was raised by his father. Hence someting he and Ruby and Yang can 'bond' over.

Zeb probably wouldn't bother; he's a pretty skinny guy.

I'm still cringing at all the Japanese honorifics and the mythological Faunus. And that Grimm. Dear god that Grimm.

AND YES YOU SHOULD. This week's episode was so full of S*** JUST GOT REAL and my brother and I were on the edge of our seats the entire time.

I saw the preview of this week... (rant follow, sorry.) by Hardric on 2016-01-07 17:54:00 UTC Reply

It's only getting worst. They have no mercy.

To be honest, after spoiling myself mid-December, I didn't watch the new episodes, although I know their content. Call me childish, but if I cannot see something positive after... these events, I'd only rage with Kylo Ren-levels of anger before my screen because of THEM. The plot is still perfect, mind you, but it's about things I hate the most in the world right now. Need vengence.

Just read it. by Hardric on 2016-01-07 08:10:00 UTC Reply

The Suethor couldn't be bothered with following canon even for a line, eh? And he treated Weiss and Yang that way... Would sending him to Death Battle so Yang could destroy him would have been forbidden? Because he so deserved it.

The way you killed is still wonderful. A shame your plan just... fell in the water at the end.

...and how he expressed his disdain for Yang, I shudder to think how he'd treat her fighting ability. :/

And pfaha, thanks. :)

Wonderful... by Hardric on 2016-01-07 17:54:00 UTC Reply

He really needs to be introduced to Death Battle. Pretty sure Yang, or Rainbow Dash, would one-shot him.
