Some amazing artwork by the winner of the Fullsail Grimm Design contest:

Man now I really hope the Hag gets to show up in the show in a later volume. Even the Ibex and Rotherium grew on me with this poster.

My copy of Fairy Tales of Remnant arrived in the mail today. Before I delve into spoiler territory I just wanted to share a fun observation that applies to quite a bit of the book:
Maybe I should try making a photoshop with Ozpin. XD
Anyway so I've finished reading the entire book, it was a fairly quick read. Especially since I had already read the Silver Eye story in the previews.
My conclusion?
......It's good.
It's damned good. If I had some misgivings about recommending After the Fall and Before the Dawn to anyone who isn't a hardcore RWBY-fan/RWBY-lore-fan then despite it's even more niche subject matter I find that Fairy Tails of Remnant is something that I would actually be willing to recommend to people who have never watched the show, if for no other reason than the absolutely gorgeous illustrations by Violet Tobacco.
Seriously, there is a ton of stuff about the stories themselves that I liked and despite the occasional instance of Meyers writing RWBY terms in somewhat clunky ways (as I've come to expect) the writing ranges from fairly solid to very good, and at times even excellent. So yeah, writing is good but I just need to dedicate this first part to praising the artist because holy moley did Violet Tobacco perform a stunning job on the artwork. It is sooooo good.
Seeing the images on the wiki just does not do the art justice compared to how they look and feel in the book. Especially when combined with their placement in the story, like this image of the Crown in The King, The Crown and The Widow:
which pairs very well with the downward spiral the king is experiencing because of the crown. The chapter covers are also utterly stunning and I love the little touches in each chapter where every page has a miniature drawing depicting something important from the story at the top and has these flowery/cloudy flourishes at the bottom of the pages. The Crown story has a crown at the top of each page for example, The Grimm Child has a Grimm mask, and Judgement of the Faunus has a dove.
I ended up with less time to write this than I wanted so I will have to get into the details of the stories themselves more later, but just to leave some small teasers:

CRWBY once again proves themselves way too adept at writing horror. This story and the worldbuilding it revealed is utterly horrifying. Right up there with the Apathy in terms of sheer
that it induces in the reader. Remnant is a terrifying place to live.
that it induces in the reader. Remnant is a terrifying place to live.
Long ago, before the fish had scales, before the birds had feathers, and before the turtles had shells, when our god still walked and crawled and slithered the earth, there were only Humans and animals. (And Grimm. There have always been Grimm. There will always be Grimm. But those creatures don't figure in this story, so just put them out of your mind, if you can.)
This has to be one of my favorite RWBY quotes. It really highlights the sort of quiet despair and Grimm acceptance that people in this world live with every day and how they basically have to do their best to just not think about the fact that they live on a horror filled death world just in order to stay sane and stay safe.

I expected this to be some fairly sedate and typical fantasy world building that might explain the presence of Dust or Silver Eyes or something like that. Instead I got full on 9000% SHENANIGANS very much in keeping with real world fairy tales and myth. Seriously this is some Maui style zany schemes at play here. Definitively one of the sleeper hits of this book for me, it gave me a great laugh and it also served as a effective way of reminding us that these are fairy tales at the end of the day. Anything portrayed in the tales themselves should be taken with a grain of salt. They are very much not literally true, though I can see some potential metaphorical truths in this tale.
And now I leave you with this:

How would y'all feel about a genLock thread? Its like my favorite RT property ever, and I wanna talk about it.

I'd be up for it. It's not like this forum has enough threads that it would be hard to keep track of it. And when Season 2 hits discussion for gen:LOCK specifically will likely become a lot more fast paced and active, so it could be a good idea to keep the threads separate from the start.

Sure, or we could make this an RT thread in general, both work.
That is hilarious XD
Also thanks for the reviews, I think I'll have to order it for my birthday.
I'll freely admit I've mostly been imagining this threadt as an RT general thread, with the next season coming out that may make things trickier but I think we can work it, but if one wants to create a seperate thread feel free.

The trailer implies all the ultimate power stuff is a by product of what happened the last two seasons. But all new viewers need to know is "something changed", etc.
Wait is the livestream happening right now?

They did mention that the premiere date could be pushed back if things happen, which is understandable. But I hope not. If nothing else, US fans will need the reminder there's people trying to hold back the dark around then

I'll likely make a genLock thread when we get a trailer. Until then I'll use this a general RT discussion channel and put my genlock thoughts here.
*ahem*
IM SO FREAKING EXCITED.

Aaawwww. This is cute.

Ok so I saw that Fiona dropped for Amity Arena recently, which is neat and the description was another fun piece of in-universe bias from the Atlas folks but I didn't think much of it aside from that. The Fiona artwork was about what I expected (aside from some comments on how Fiona seemed ripped in proportion to her tiny frame) but nothing about the art stood out from any of the other AA designs. But then I saw this:
Holy carp! Those clunky crossbow staffs the Happy Huntresses use can turn into duel wielding crossbow-pistols with bayonets? Their weapons just got 300% cooler.

As you can probably tell from my avatar I too am very much looking forward to the next season of gen:LOCK. At least Storm Warning isn't too far off now.
