How would you feel if the team shadow dropped an Apathy Grimm horror short film?

With the whole partnership letting them do more projects thing happening I figured I would bring this idea I had up.

So we know what happened at Brunswick Farms with the owner, and the Apathy Grimm, sealing the water tunnel, everything, my idea is that this short film visualizes the story for us to see.

The first act could be the owner Bartleby seeing how the estate was hemorrhaging money, then him having the idea of using the Apathy Grimm to keep the farm peaceful so he could cut down costs on Huntsmen protection, and doing the idea of luring a couple Apathy Grimm in the water tunnels to get an effect without doing too much harm, then He leaves saying he’ll seal the tunnels tomorrow but then we cut to the middle of the night where we see the rest of the pack following the other 2 into the tunnels, and act 1 ends with Bartleby sealing the tunnels next day.

The second act could show the deterioration of the town over time with not immediate progression, after a bit Bartleby notices the town quieting down, so thinking his plan worked, fires most of the huntsmen/huntresses leaving 1 or 2 left, then we see the town deteriorating over time and eventually 1 of the 2 remaining hunters if Bartleby kept 2 hunters around, leaves, and the act ends with the town not having enough food to feed everyone and the infrastructure falling apart from lack of maintenance, and Bartleby realizing the mistake of his actions.

And the third act then begins with Bartleby using the last of his strength to inform the remaining huntsmen what he did, but not realizing the rest of the pack wandered in, tells the huntsmen there aren’t that many of them, then goes to lay in bed knowing if the huntsmen fails, he won’t have the strength to get out of be, then the scene shifts to the Huntsmen breaking open the seal to the tunnels and entering, only expecting a few Apathy Grimm, not knowing he’s walking into his death, only to run into way more than he can handle, after trying to fight them off to no real avail, he attempts to flee, ditching his weapon and other eq in the process, but eventually the Apathy Grimm get to him mentally and he just sits against a wall just saying, “this is okay…”, and we cut to black, ending the movie, right before the Apathy Grimm completely close in on him, then the credits play.

Then maybe or maybe not there could be a post credits scene where we see the corpse of the Huntsmen, now just a skeleton and clothes, as the camera pans or just goes to above ground, where we see team RWBY + Qrow and Maria arriving at the farm, maybe not going above ground and showing them, but just literally anything to signify that we are now at the time they were at the farm, or maybe just not have post credits scene at all, that could work to.

Also, I have seen some people be confused to why the corpse of the Huntsmen in the tunnel doesn’t have the weapon or any ammo near it, this could answer why that is, my theory is that like with Team RWBY, the Apathy Grimm made his weapon feel heavy, so when his objective shifted to escaping with his life, instead of keeping his weapon and ammo, he ditched them to maximize his chance of escaping.

Therapy has to a massive plot point for RWBY volume 10 and maybe 11.

Ruby: Off the top of my head, watched two people die right in front of her, one of which her friend, saw another friend’s dismembered corpse after being unable to make it to a location on time, saw her sister missing an arm, all on her birthday which is likely by the fans that it happened on her 16th birthday, learned that same friend got killed again and only heard after the fact, feels responsible for the fall of two kingdoms, pented up her emotions until they came spilling out, found out her mother lied to her dad and willingly left, this was after she saw a grimm with silver eyes, leading to horrifying implication to what happened to her mother, and was driven to do to her knowledge was killing herself, and the only real form of therapy she got from the tree, was “I am enough”, that ain’t enough to counter all the other stuff, yes it’s a good realization, and probably solves one of the reasons why she chose to drink that tea, but it definitely wasn’t the only reason, this is probably going to get worst when she learns Jaune was the one who technically killed Penny. This girl needs therapy from a trained professional.

Jaune: Kills one of his friends at their request, lets be honest his memory of killing Penny at the end of volume 8 alone is enough to justify him going into therapy, found out his love was dead, and he might feel partially responsible due to what happened in Beacon’s basement, which he also might still not be over at this point, he fell into the Ever After, accidentally rewound time, went probable decades without human interaction, only keeping himself going using the knowledge that his friends would eventually show up, and a few days after they do, one of those friends to his knowledge, kills herself, and he is right there to see it, and that friend was the first person he talked to at his original school, until he is told the action he perceives as death is rebirth, but without the memories, so until Ruby emerged as herself, he had to think about someone not Ruby, coming out of that tree, with no memory of who they were. And the closest he gets to a therapy session is him hallucinating a talk with Alyx. He needs a professional.

This is not discussing or critiquing the writing of RWBY up until this point, this is discussing specific events and how they should affect future writing, and we can go back and forth about wether or not Ruby should feel guilty, the point is it’s likely she does, at least for Atlas and Mantle, and granted some of my examples are speculative, like the Fall of Beacon happening on RWBY’s birthday, it Jaune not being over Pyrrha’s death as of the end of volume 9, even without the speculative aspects, these two still seriously need professional help.

Personally I will be very upset if Yang, Weiss, and Blake don’t force these two to get actual therapy with a trained professional. But what are your thought?

Edit: My friend and a reply here told me there was a few months between Ruby waking up after the Fall of Beacon and team RNJR heading off, so there’s no way to tell how much therapy Ruby got in that time, but that doesn’t undo anything after volume 3, nor was a permanent solution and the events after could have reopened old wounds, which is a very likely possibility.

This feels familiar

So, who wants to bet that halfway through the series we’re gonna find out that this alliance has corruption in it, or that one of the members is gonna pull some Aizen type stuff?

Edit: When I said this feels familia, I said that because is reminded me of the Sword of Logos from Saber, where it corruption in it, and my friend is very into Bleach and won’t stop talking about Aizen, plus I’ve anime so that might be why I just don’t believe this group is going to all be completely good, someone has to be an Aizen.

WHAT THE HELL TOEI!?

So I’ve been in El Salvador for a while, and today I decided to search up Ex Aid on YouTube because I wanted to watch henshins and finishers, then i saw a playlist for the series, fully, then, I decided to go onto the channel of TokuSato, and found this, of course I’m pretty sure for all of these, after the first 5 episode, it becomes members only, but still, I checked, this is only available in El Salvador, not in America, they also have Gavan Infinity, and Omegahorn, I’m sorry, the Spanish get this but the U.S doesn’t? Granted the Spanish subtitle ones are incomplete, but the Portuguese subtitles don’t have that problem, the only issue is, after like the first 5 episodes, you have to become a member to watch.

Question about Kurumi.

Do you think when she first became a spirit and got her powers, there were times when she was trying to enter/exit her shadow, and got stuck part way through with the top half of her body sticking out and the bottom half being in the shadow?

What is Toei doing with the other Reiwa shows?

So, if Toei plans on continuing releasing Kamen Rider shows for us in America, what do you think they’ll do once we get to the first Reiwa anniversary rider, the 10th anniversary of the Reiwa Era, because the last 2 major anniversary riders, Decade, and Zi-o leaned heavily into the past rider seasons, with both expecting you to have watched the previous seasons as they reference events and characters from previous seasons, so logically the first major anniversary rider of Reiwa would do the same thing, so when we get there, what do you think Toei will do with the Reiwa Rider shows not released in America, those being Saber, Revice, Gotchard, and Gavv. Will they release those shows in America, or will they just give us the anniversary season while not giving us the material source for some of the references/plot points?

I have a question about Michael

So I know that it can lock abstract concepts, like emotions and memories, but can it lock hyper specific abstract concepts, like could I lock someone’s ability to wear a bowler hat on Tuesdays, and specifically Tuesdays, or lock someone’s ability to hear the number 1648.22, and just that number specifically?

I might be hated for this but I need to ask.

okay so from what I’ve seen, the animation for seasons 4 and 5 are considered butchered compared to the older seasons., and why? I get it not being your favorite animation, but butchered or just worst, I don’t see how, personally I think the animation for those seasons were best, in fact I feel like season 3’s animation was the worst, it just seems, off, to me in a way. Could someone explain to me why these season’s animation styles get so much dislike from people?

What are we thinking for Gore Nightmare death order?

Okay, now with what I assume is all the Gore Nightmares assembled, what are thinking for the order of their deaths? For me, first it’s Catastrophe, because he’s the main threat of the next episode, next I think it will be Punny/Punish, which will wrap up Sieg’s character arc wherever that’s going, then I think it will be Phantom because narratively it makes sense for the Nightmare that haunts The Lady to be the penultimate boss, which will wrap up Nem’s character arc, and Oblivion will be the final boss as he swallowed the Code Somnia capsem, which should make him the strongest, as the final boss should be.
