Citadel Of My Thoughts @citadelofmythoughts - Tumblr Blog

As part of working on overcoming my fear of spiders, I'm reading books about them with lots of pictures and diagrams of the things. Something that struck me when looking at the cephalothorax (combined chest and head) diagrams: the sheer variety, because shape (especially of chelicerae aka fangs), position and number of eyes... they're very different across different species, and there are thousands of them.

It got me thinking about us. Humans. How lonely we are, despite how many of us there are. There are no other surviving species of human. While there were never as many as there are spider species, I have to wonder what the world would be like if there was at least one more. Probably even more conflict, but maybe not just that? Not that spiders are any example, their top predators are apparently other spiders.

kinda baffling to me that three years out people are still calling volume 9 a 'filler season', like just make it clear you don't pay any attention to the plot at all

character development isn't filler

lore drops aren't filler

paying off build-ups on character arcs isn't filler

having a season that's lighter on the main narrative to focus on the fallout of an intense arc, and ultimately reiterate and reconstruct the core themes of the show isn't filler

none of it's filler by definition because RWBY isn't an adaptation of anything - filler is specifically added material to pad for time so an adaptation doesn't catch up too quickly

it speaks to an incuriousness and dismissal towards the setting and the characters to dismiss everything volume 9 was doing as filler. this is a character driven show

#The four protagonists of the show are an immutable part of the plot #A season that focuses on them cannot be considered filler

I can't take anyone who thinks yang would ever find sun attractive seriously especially in the sense of trying to force sunnybees to be a thing I hope crwby shoots that idea down immediately in v10 with sun explicitly saying he's moved on from blake

I don't care if someone ships it because I can block it.

But if they think something like that would happen in canon they're completely delusional.

That's just not where the narrative leads.

Someone who knows better than me: how long do you presume we'll have to wait for V10 actually hitting our screens?

We have pretty good indication this greenlight video has been shot with the other promo stuff from early 2k26, so they're probs deeper in production...I know animation takes time and all, but am I delusional for thinking we'll get it in 2k27?

citadelofmythoughts

That's probably a complicated question. I imagine it's down to who they've gotten to do the animation.

When RT was doing it in-house things were slow because in all honesty, RT was pretty small potatoes.

A larger animation house can probably get things done more quickly.

But I'm just guessing. I figure we've got at least a year to wait before we get V10 but honestly, I don't think that's an unreasonable assumption, depending on a lot of variables.

hello sorry if this message is weird or annoying or whatever 🥲 but. I stopped RWBY at volume 5 because the hatedom got to me but I’ve been wanting to get back into it and not care about the hate and I just need some reassurance and maybe more people to talk about RWBY I guess 👉👈

The hatedom is loud but not the majority. Take a look at some of the people I reblog, they're all good people who adore the show.

You're in for a treat when you pick RWBY back up. I'd argue that Volumes 6-9 are the finest they've ever produced.

I generally update my WIP, The Baby Plot, monthly, and in a few days it will have been a month. Am I anywhere close to finishing the current chapter? No, it's maybe halfway there. A heatwave hasn't helped, my brain melted too much to write anything for days now.

I'm also seriously considering writing on until the end of the story before going back to this current chapter and deciding if I have it in me to write one last sex scene (for this fic, not the last I'll ever write) or if that scene will just fade to black. Sex scenes take a lot out of me to write, only combat is harder for me, and a good part of me just wants to get The Baby Plot finished and move on to one of the many other plot bunnies plaguing me. That said I don't want to rush the end, and will do my best to do it justice. Endings aren't easy in my experience.

If I do what I'm considering it'll delay posting the next chapter, but at least there will be a shorter wait for the end after that (I can't confirm there are only two chapters left because that will guarantee the damned things multiply)

deadbeatbirdmom

I've decided to mostly fade to black. Citadel knows what I mean by that, she gets a sneak peek with each finished scene as I write them because she's my girlfriend. It might not be as satisfying for some readers as a sex scene that's more explicit, but I'm happy with it.

Does this mean the next chapter is done and just needs editing? No, it's over 6,000 words long now but there's still at least two more scenes I need to write. Generally slow progress, no thanks to life stuff ambushing me. And another heatwave starting this week.

What's this life stuff? I don't know. All I do know is that it needs a low risk medical procedure to investigate, and I got an appointment considerably faster than I'm used to the NHS moving. With any luck it's nothing serious.

Beyond amused that the YT algorithm sent me a video from 2017 titled "Why Bumbleby WILL be canon"

Guess we can count that prediction as correct.

There's something kinda funny about how RWBY just absolutely refuses to die despite a constant stream of adversity. The first season was objectively hot garbage but it still got a second season. The creator of the series whose passion project the whole thing was passed away in a freak accident after the second season but they just kept going without him and somehow a significant portion of the fanbase went along for it. The budget got slashed in Season 5 because of gross mismanagement but no worries! The fans stuck with it and they got it back for Season 6. Then a few seasons later the entire company that's been producing it went completely tits up and we all assumed THAT would be the end but nope!!! They got bought by Viz. RWBY has now outlived both the man who dreamt it up and the company that produced it. In an era where numerous streaming shows get axed after one or two seasons despite being critical successes with large fanbases it is completely baffling that a show that is so consistently troubled and infamously has an extremely mixed reception cannot be fucking ended despite all indications to the contrary. It truly is femslash Supernatural

guess what just got greenlit for a 10th season, 2 years after OP's post

chaoticevilspacewitch

Reasonably good chance our show also ends with killing god... possibly even at 15 seasons!

There's something about the characters... the world is desperate for kickass women fixing shit, and it hasn't had to deal with mainstream execs getting their grubby hands on it like Wayward Daughters did...

I don't think it's an animation studio. I used Google Lens on the picture with the guinea pigs and found out the images are from a thing called Weta Workshop Unleashed in Auckland, New Zealand

https://thatcuriousone.com.au/2024/10/04/day-14-here-weta-day-gone-tomorrow/

CRWBY most likely already has a studio

You are absolutely correct. I'll take down the original post. Looks like Kerry is just on vacation lol.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RWBY/comments/1unqeo5/viz_seemingly_recruiting_for_animation_production/

There are jobs opening at Viz for animation. They might be trying to animate Volume 10 in-house.

Possible. It'd take a while to get a full studio going though.

Trending on Bsky. I'll take it!

#rwby

I am so happy that Volume 10 has been greenlit but I am very curious how animation is going to work since Viz is not an animation studio

I'd be surprised if the animation wasn't being outsourced to some studio or other. Seems there is an unconfirmed report of it being Sola Digital Arts.

citadelofmythoughts

Not gonna lie I was hoping for a little more than that.

tumblingxelian

Low key same, I made it a point to keep my expectations not too high to avoid unrealistic expectations, and I am happy. But having thought it was already greenlit given they'd noted multiple times to be working on it. I was sort of expecting a little bit more, but such is life I guess.

tinyfrog-jpg

wait omg what was the reveal?!

citadelofmythoughts

That V10 is officially greenlit. I suppose that means we're probably out of pre-production at least.

sir-adamus

yeah; before they were in early writing and planning, greenlighting means the story for the volume is essentially locked in and approved, funding has been allocated for the production, and they're going into the actual work of making it

the video also appears to have been recorded back in February with the other promo material they were shooting, meaning it's possible it was actually greenlit about six months ago before they got Kerry, Lindsay, Kara, Arryn and Barbara together to record that

jayfeathers-neo-bumbleby

I’ve also heard SOLA digital arts is the one animating it? Can anyone confirm?

That would explain Kerry's post from earlier today....
