I have two older sisters and I've had to share a room with one of them a number of times. I've also had to share a room with my parents plenty of times. It's not that bad.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!@Totem Hero
That explains so much. XP
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.I mean, I'm assuming that my great grandparents immigrated here from Japan, or their parents, seeing as how, if my grandfather was still alive, he'd be in his 70s. That at the least means he was born in the 1940s, and since he was the middle child of the family, or one of them anyways, he might have siblings that were born at least during the late 1930s (they all looked fairly close in age in the one photograph I've seen of the family). Depending on how young they married and when they had kids, using 1939 as the latest they could have had their oldest child and assuming his parents had kids in their mid to late 20s, his parents would have to be born during the mid 1910s. Granted, I don't really know much about them to begin with since they never really kept in touch with my family, so I could be wrong with the calculations; either way, my great grandparents either immigrated here during the 1920s, had at least a kid or two and immigrated here then, or that side of my family arrived even earlier than they could have, possibly even before the start of the 20th Century.
...also, damn, things get weird topic-wise when no new material is out.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!![]()

In theory, most certainly.
Holy shit. Not even in fiction I've seen this many number of siblings.

My maternal grandmother was one of 13 siblings (my mother is one of six). I'm one of two. My mother basically said 'like hell am I giving birth more than twice'.
My gran's response? 'Don't blame you'.
Spinning this around to get back on topic (
)....
Whenever the subject of male/female cohabiting at Beacon, I always find myself thinking of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Bear with me. I am going somewhere with this.
When Kira finds herself falling for Shakaar, she's completely freaked out. Her resistance cell during the Cardassian Occupation was led by Shakaar. Resistance cells lived, slept, ate, fought and bled together. Their guerrilla lifestyle meant they'd see their teams naked, stinking, not having bathed for weeks on end. When you're that close, there's no mystery... there's certainly no rose-tinted spectacles. When your lives depend on each other, you forge bonds closer than family or lovers.
My guess is that, given Ozpin's obsession with teams (and given that Salem's weapon of mass destruction is 'divide and conquer', 'unity' is a weapon in its own right), my above paragraph is what he's attempting to create: people whose lives depend on each other and who live inside each other's skin to create bonds of unity that are as unbreakable as is humanly possible to forge.
Obviously, a bunch of teens who don't really know what it's really like out there in the wilds aren't exactly in the kind of place Kira was talking about in Star Trek, but the kind of thing Kira was talking about is very, very common in fiction (for obvious reasons) — and a bunch of teens who have to work together to earn the marks that'll help them graduate, and who also have to bed down together, will make or break their group dynamic very quickly. It's about creating a foundation - hopefully solid - that will weather the harsh realities of Remnant, and more importantly, the harsh realities of Salem's machinations. After all, remember his advice to Ruby at the ball? It's all about forging bonds that survive the test of time — so even the ball seems to be about building unity — certainly, having the other schools in the same living space for a while was about unity. Ozpin does seem a bit obsessed with it.
It's also my theory that the four Relics will require some definition of 'unity' to fully realise their true potential, but that's an aside to the point I'm trying to make: that Ozpin's sleeping arrangements may have a quite sombre reason for existing.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.So over on the RWBY subreddedit I found a thread from a month ago about a RWBY Hunger Games style simulator. Anyone interested should go to http://brantsteele.net/hungergames/disclaimer.php
, click load session and enter crMYbmkr. The first session plays out the same way every time but going again reveals different results. Highlights from my use of it are as follows:
- Yang Xiao Long dies of dysentery (on the first day no less)
- Cinder Fall falls into a frozen lake and drowns.
- Nora Valkyrie picks flowers.
- Ruby Rose eats toxic berries
- Qrow Branwen shoots a poisonous blow dart into Raven Branwen's neck, slowly killing her.
- Mercury Black is unable to convince Neptune Vasilias to not kill him.
- Lie Ren silently snaps James Ironwood's neck.
- Reese Chloris shoots an arrow at Pyrrha Nikos, but misses and kills Qrow Branwen instead
- Neptune tries to climb a tree but falls out and dies.
- Pyrrha Nikos and Coco Adel huddle for warmth.
- Octavia Ember ends up winning after Pyrrha and Coco get killed by trees.
A bit dark, but it's humorous considering everything is randomly generated and trying to make a story out of it. The code for my full run is Y Czg 5 X2f

How the hell do you fall in a frozen lake, Cinder? What, did she melt the ice?
EDIT: Actually, one of my brother's is kinda a wee shit, and I have heard so many of the others use bad language. Trying to make them stop is hard.
And for the record, your reactions were priceless!

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste. Nice to meet you, hope you can guess my name.So, in a desperate attempt to get this thread back on topic, this popped up in my Youtube recommendations:
tldr, he rates volume four "okay but not great" because too much exposition and not enough plot advancement.
He liked volume four but felt that it didn't live up to the promise of volume three's ending because there wasn't enough that happened to actually demonstrate that Nothing Is the Same Anymore. Volume four feels like it's almost entirely given over to setup for volume five — at one point he mentions that at the end of volume four he felt like he was still pretty much at the end of volume three. There's lots and lots of exposition, some of which was promising, but none of it really went anywhere in terms of actually changing anything. He mentions that he liked the Weiss plot best because it felt like it resulted in the most development for the character out of anything else in the season, and that Yang's was the worst because it actually reverses her character development — Yang's characterization is basically now in the same place as it was at the beginning of season three, except now one of her arms is shiny. He briefly sketches out an alternate plot for Yang. note He also makes some comments on the fight scenes — basically that in order to be good, a fight scene needs to either advance the plot or be choreographed well enough to be enjoyable on a purely spectacle level, and only two or three of volume four's fights did either, much less both. He also complaints that despite the enormous amount of exposition in this season, some things went conspicuously unmentioned — like what Neo was up to this whole time, or what happened to Penny (was her body recovered? Was the project that developed her cancelled? Can she be repaired or rebuilt or replaced with a new incarnation?)
I agree with most of this. My big disagreements are that 1) he liked volume three because it prompted big dramatic changes and I didn't like it because I thought those big dramatic changes were poorly executed, and 2) he thought Weiss's plot was best and I preferred Blake's. The latter is probably just character preference — I don't really find Weiss interesting, and I don't think her plot for volume four was set up very well in earlier seasons, while I like Blake and thought that her plot in volume four was the result of three previous volumes' worth of character development. His version of Yang's story is way better than what actually happened and I'm sad that it's not the canon version of events.
Looks like the same guy has a similar video for volume three, but it's almost three times as long (this one is seven minutes, that one is over twenty) so I haven't watched it yet. Maybe when I have some time to kill.

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.

I mean I have no moral reservations other than maybe quality of life - if you can support that many, great. It's a little odd, but it's unique.
But good god Christmas/any holiday must be a marathon.
And if I had to share a room I'd probably stab someone before the week was out.
Not even the 4-bed setup that Team RWBY has would work for me. I couldn't stand that noise, not even with bunk beds.
