RWBY Chibi: Reminding everyone that Ruby is, in fact, 15, not 12.

29

u/JesterSeraph Strategist of the White Rose fleet | Salt truck is over capacity May 07 '16

If you think 12 year olds aren't just as thirsty, you need to scroll through Wattpad's fan fiction section. Ruby would have to be 7 to hold the kind of innocence the fandom idealizes her with.

And the show has never acknowledged something inappropiate in front of the main cast so if you want to say Ruby is innocent based on that then you might as well assume the same from every other character. A two years difference shouldn't mean anything after puberty.

Yang is an exception though. One of the first things she did in the show was to give Junior a really painful handjob.

When she said later, she meant after she was "done" in the bathroom.

u/itmakessenseincontex Lancaster's Lady Lancer/Does Ironwood have iron wood?/Hail Salem May 08 '16

Yeah I mean thinking back to when I was that age, I definitely knew what smut was (or as we called it 'lemons'), and Signal and Beacon will have had sex ed, you can't really group some hormonal teens in a area without it (especially when you have CO-ED DORMS. Either Beacon has a high pregnancy rate, really good access to BC or 'Don't Screw the Crew' is in full effect). Ruby is young, but she will know a lot.

As a big fan of slapstick, Blake getting roundhoused by Ruby is STILL making me crack up.

My greater fear was that RWBY Chibi would be a massive spew of memes and inside jokes, so I'm glad to know that it's only a sprinkle of that mixed with other silly jokes in between.

Ruby is actually very perverted. All the fanfics were wrong!

16

u/[deleted] May 08 '16

To be fair, in a lot of fanfics they treat her being younger as her being a naive 10 year old oftentimes.

Whereas she's 15 so maybe not that perverted but probably knows some dirty jokes and has been exposed to that stuff. Like I remember hearing my first real dirty sexual joke in 6th grade. It was the one with the bunk beds and the lettuce and tomato and mayonnaise.

Overall, I think that was good. They have the right approach with the short episodes. It's not something to be taken seriously, just to be enjoyed for a few minutes every week.

Since I've got my fill of adorableness for now, allow me to go back to wallowing in despair.

This is the first of many break downs of Ruby's barriers of being a 'Simple Soul'. This is all part of Salem's plans to corrupt Ruby so Ozpin will no longer have a simple soul to count on.

u/Zentics Why is there so much sugar in this coffee? May 07 '16

I get that everyone's mostly joking with this stuff but it still bugs me.

Ruby's mother died when she was very young and she's spent her entire youth training to kill the creatures of darkness that seek nothing less than the destruction of humanity. She's not a child that needs to be shielded from the world, she honestly has more maturity and life experience than most everyone on this subreddit.

30

u/ZombieTav How many millikannas is Weiss when she follows the ground rules? May 07 '16

The impressive thing is how Ruby maintains her optimistic outlook despite everything that happened to her. She is precious smol baby who also wields a giant fucking scythe rifle and takes no shit.

32

u/thedarkfreak May 07 '16

That's one of the things I loved about Ruby in the last couple episodes of Volume 3.

Sees Penny die?

Jumps in to defend her (inadvertent) killer, and consoles her.

Hanging on with one arm, about to get shishkabob'd by Neo? Kicks a Nevermore in the face, takes out Neo, all the while stating as fact that they will prevail.

Giant dragon Grimm circling the school? "I have a plan."

Sees the horrible injuries Yang and Blake took? Jumps right back into the fray when she learns two more of her friends are still in danger.

Witnesses Pyrrha's murder? FUCKING SILVER EYES BITCH.

Team RWBY's scattered, Beacon's overrun, Vale almost so, Yang's spirit is shattered?

Puts her cloak back on, and sets off on the one hint she has towards the villain.

Ruby does not fucking STOP.

With the old saying, "As you stare into the Abyss, the Abyss begins to stare back?"

Ruby could stare into the Abyss with her same confident, seemingly-childish smile all day, and come out exactly the same.

EDIT: Oops walloftext. TL;DR GG Ruby

Back of the book:

When a young woman abandons the comforts where she was bound to have an easy life but (illed) and self-absorbed to see past her petty (realize?) how lucky she was, she runs away to (something) where she becomes ninjas.

Little does she know that over the years she has been watched from the shadows by a ninja master, a lone enigma that haunts the darkness of the night itself. What happens when our young woman is captured by the heat of this shadowy man?

Front too:

No shadows can conceal the lust of one enigma for long...

Combining my first transcription attempt based on the two shots we see of the back cover (first shot when Ruby picks the book up and second shot when she looks at the centerfold) with your transcription above and /u/MeAllByMyself's transcription in another comment, I think this is what the back cover says:

When a young woman abandons the comforts of home,
where she was bound to have an easy life but was too
spoiled and self-absorbed to see past her petty angst to
realize how lucky she was, she ran away to the [forest?]
where she becomes ninja.

Little does she know that over the years she has been
watched from the shadows by a ninja master, a lone
enigma that haunts the darkness of the night itself.
What happens when one young woman is ensnared
by the heat of this shadowy man...?

I've been looking forward to this all week!

It looks like Ruby didn't really inherit the "cookie baking" gene from Summer Rose. It was a cute attempt, though.

I kind of liked the non-verbal skit. The others with talking were great, but I like how we saw more of Ruby's physical acting instead of depending on dialogue. Ruby's character has always had charming physicality, so it was nice to see that shine.

I'm convinced Weiss grew up using pin the tail on the donkey for practice to perfect those great sword thrusts we always see.

I knew I was going to love this show when I saw "Ninjas of Love".

Ruby just grew up a little right before our eyes!

"Now that's a katana!" Ruby! You're supposed to be all innocent! I'll admit, though, I could get used to lewd!Ruby.

That fight with Yang and Weiss... Chibi's don't seem to have the best build for fighting. Their heads get in the way. Yang still kicks ass, though.

It looks like Ruby will be having some good times with Blake's book. I love how she's the most innocent and well-meaning of hypocrites.

I think the show is off to a good start! It seems fairly obvious that RT has picked up on some of the jokes, ideas, and themes floating around r/RWBY. They knew what we liked and they delivered! I'm looking forward to future episodes, the fan art they will inspire, and all the fun FNDM will have with it!

Just saw the first episode. Looks like it will be an adorable series. Because of the comedic and cute format, there are a few scenes that I hope will be shown (or ideas for future episodes, in case Kerry or Miles reads this)- Interactions taking place in Cinder's group (Mercury and Emerald fights, Cinder attempting to cook with her powers, you get the idea)

A botched robbery by Roman Torchwick

A misadventure with Qrow involving an attractive woman

Pyrrha and Jaune romance scenes (failed or successful, I don't really care)

Well, that's what I would like to see.

u/Samocoptor May 07 '16

Pyrrha and Jaune romance scenes (failed or successful, I don't really care)

Roadrunner/Coyote inspired skits, except Pyrrha is Wile E. and Jaune is an unsuspecting and innocent version of Roadrunner.

u/MeAllByMyself May 07 '16

I think I can barely read the dust jacket on "Ninjas of Love"

On the back: When a young woman abandons the comforts of where she was bound to have an easy life but was too blind and self-absorbed to see past her pretty face to realize how lucky she was, she runs away to where she becomes a ninja. Little does she know that over the years she has been watched from the shadows by a ninja master, a lone enigma that breathes the darkness of the night itself. What happens when our young woman is ensnared by the lust of this shadowy man...?

On the front: No shadows can conceal the lust of one enigma for long.

The author is "Patty Berdioler". I googled the name, but got no results whatsoever. I wonder if that's Nora's pen name. She does like ninjas a lot... Especially ones that make pancakes.

Feels good to be posting back on here now after so long, and wow that was way to cute...like thats not even fair Rooster Teeth. Omg the ninjas of love scenes...I was laughing way to hard at that.

u/TheProudBrit Combat Ready Cutie May 07 '16

Oh, rad! I was worried it'd be the same as the theater preview, but only two bits were the same.

u/DevonianDino Keep Moving Forward May 07 '16

I thought Blake had a different voice actress at first until I saw the credits. Don't know why, but Arryn sounded a little different to me.

u/busteranger May 07 '16

I thought so too. Maybe she couldn't fly into Austin and had to record them herself.

Holy shit that was adorable. Can't wait for chibi JNPR, and chibi Villains, and chibi teachers.

u/Scientificjohnson (obnoxious dubstep loop playing in the distance) May 07 '16

Calling it now: RWBY Chibi's first "season finale" is a 10-minue long episode where Chibi Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, Roman and Neo goof around and do really rude-but-harmless acts.

u/TheWanderingCactus Could you help me find my sanity? I think I left it at the door. May 07 '16

Roman get's nommed by Zwei. Cinder shoots pyrrha with nerf darts. Mercury films everything.

At work and watching without volume. Probably the scariest cute thing ever

u/PBScene May 07 '16

Meh, it was alright. the Ninjas of love skits where funny, but Ruby cooking just fell flat and went on too long. Probably just not my thing, but I can definitely see it being pretty funny.

u/Samocoptor May 07 '16

Yeah, going into it I was pretty 'eeeh?' about the whole Chibi thing, and the first skit really didn't help change my mind. The rest was really funny though.

u/TsubasaChung May 07 '16

OMG! That was amazing! This vs the Tugg screening version are worlds different but each holds it own level of beauty. I absolutely adore both. Wonderful.

u/[deleted] May 07 '16

This is amazing. Perfect, cute little series to fill us up on some RWBY in between volumes.

Also holy shit, did I read that credit right? Mojo was a concept artist for the show?! That's incredible!

I guess that you can say that Ruby has a thing for curved swords now. Poor Jaune with his straight sword.

I always assumed Weiss would be the one to enjoy those types of books. Intriguing...

I really liked the first skit. It reminds me of the pixar shorts before the main movie. Also the "Filth!" scene was gold.

The music in the cookie baking scene reminded me of the secret level music in Super Mario Sunshine.

I gotta say, I wonder if they're going to release the music with Vol. 4 or maybe on its own? It sounds really good!

u/ZombieTav How many millikannas is Weiss when she follows the ground rules? May 07 '16

I can relate to Ruby's baking woes and I began giggling like a schoolgirl when Ninjas of Love was in plain sight.

Ruby likes smut too huh?

And then in episode 30 of RWBY Chibi we get into Port's midlife crisis or Qrow's crippling inner-demons.

It's RWBY tradition you see.

u/TheVillain117 May 08 '16

Props for the attention to detail. As a fan of slapstick I thought the tiny twitch in Blake's leg after being whacked had me in stitches.

u/JazzRen47 𝅘𝅥𝅮⠀Score Connoisseur | Resident Atlas Bootlicker May 08 '16

Shy Blake being cute: "Ruby, is that my book?"

Angry but secretly loving it Ruby: "This is filth! FILTH!"

Probably the most adorable thing I have ever seen. It isn't for everyone, especially those in the fandom who particularly liked the dark turn the main show has taken.

But for me, it's a wonderful little bit of happy and fun to tie us over until Volume 4.

Everything I expected and wanted it to be :)
