but the journal is the build up, it's part of the suspense that leads to the reveal of the ReDeads in the basement
why must they be dumb
Fixing RWBY has Maria find a note that says "don't sleep".

After they've spent the night at the Farms.

But nothing actually comes out of having spent the night there specifically.

(I should also point out that Celtic Phoenix is completely full of shit because he never mentions anything about how the bodies they find look like the people just laid there and wasted away. Again, this is that problem that you won't have any idea what happened/happens at Brunswick Farms unless you're already familiar with RWBY proper.)

Wow that sounds so much scarier than going from house to house and finding a bunch of corpses in every bed with no sign of a struggle, leaving the implication of there being some kind of dream killing monster and having the audience sitting at the edge of their seats in terror as the protagonists go to bed, breathlessly waiting for the incoming blow only to be shocked when it suddenly becomes morning and nothing (seemingly) happened, leaving the audience even tighter in the grip of terror as they now have no idea what to expect.

I am truly in awe of the level of writing skill Celtic Phoenix has demonstrated, especially in comparison with the CRWBY. You can really see who is the true master of writing here.

Wait, who had the all together knowledge to scrawl "Don't sleep" in a note, but seemingly not to leave and maybe send Hunters back to burn the place to the ground and also sleep itself wasn't the issue anyway. I have seen it theorized that if Qrow's bottle hadn't fallen they'd have just stayed asleep which isn't impossible, but also seems nebulous and theoretical.

ANyway on this topic:
 
Seen some confusion about folks thinking that Summer is in the Ever After because Ruby saw her weapon in the smithy. Guys. Gals. NBs. Pay attention please. There was clearly something deeply fucky with the smithy and the blacksmith.

Penny's sword was there even though it was last seen being kicked into some bushes by the Red Prince. When the automaton lady was talking to Ruby the sword suddenly turned into Alyx knife while Ruby wasn't looking, a knife that Alyx presumably took with her back to Remnant. Ruby entering and exciting the smithy seems to have been some form of hallucinations or tangible illusions, or space warping weirdness. Most likely Summer's axe wasn't actually there, or was there but wasn't real, or was real but both was and was not there. Etc.

anyone here thinking of taking a crack at the meaning of the 3 Weapons Ruby looked at?
Penny's Sword, Alyx's Knife and Summer's AxeRifle.

for me......my brain went to "Id, Ego, Super-Ego"

For some voice actor funsies for those who don't know, this lady with the raven black hair and murderous gaze is Velvet Crowe.
Her voice actress did Mantle's Robyn Hill.
So imagine Robyn going "Coo coo" like a dove.

What do we think about the theory that the Red-Haired Woman from Argus is actually Pyrrha?
The theory has been reborn thanks to the Ever After's Rebirth/Ascension mechanic and us now having Old Jaune.

I don't buy it, but it is good fodder for fanfics where Arkos gets their happy ending.
 
Man I am seeing a lot of theories about how Little is actually Crescent Rose. Or Penny. Or maybe Summer. Or maybe Summer. Etc.


What's wrong with Little being just another friendly little talking mouse like all the other friendly talking mice? What's wrong with Little just being a normal mouse who is choosing to help and befriend Ruby because Ruby helped them first? Ya know, that while Aesop thing? One good turn deserves another?

Yeah I think I gotta be with you on this one @ᛚᛟᚲᛁ ᚱᚢᛚᛖᛋ ᚨᚾᛞ ᚦᛟᚱ ᛞᚱᛟᛟᛚᛊ

It very much feels like it undercuts Little's character to say "Oh they're Crescent Rose, they're Penny, they're X" to explain why they care about Ruby and more to the point it feels rather hard to justify given Little's seemingly well established background in the village regardless of their youth.

Could it be made to work? Maybe, but I don't think it'd work very well as its essentially sacrificing one character for either an object or another character.
