Where force fails, cunning prevails

[up][up] Like I said, there are things I like in a vacuum. There's characters and concepts I enjoy. Hell, I enjoyed the Yang heavy focused episode a couple of weeks ago, as I posted in here. I don't think the show is bad either. Just so-so. And I've always considered it so-so. Just the past stuff excited me for more and made me look forward to the next entries with actual expectations.

Regardless, for me to literally just drop a show on the spot involves it making me Rage Quit. RWBY doesn't make me rage. I'm just bored by its sagging middle and I dislike the fact I've now skipped two episodes in a row, which I fear might become a pattern if it doesn't pick up.

[up] I suspect it will; they’ve run out Internal Reveals (aside from Blake) and Captain Obvious Reveals, so any dialogue heavy episodes almost have to give us something new, and the villains are finally making their move.

Though I’ll be very disappointed if it continues going slowly. There are some people who adore the Slice of Life segments, and while I don't particularly hate them they also aren't what I like the series for.

At the very least, I expect at least a little fight between Cinder and Vernal. The opening already shows us that they are not going to be getting along.

Also, good to see that Cinder can still pull off smug.

tbqh i've been consuming episodes ~3 at a time. it's an internet wob series; you are not beholden to any kind of watching schedule like with television. i just everyone in this thread is actually polite about spoilers and only lightly scan the unmarked posts until i do my binges.

there are also a few youtube reactors that can get me re-excited in between those lulls.

I will say that I think this Volume is indeed slow.

I really want to like this volume but nothing is really happening.

I still think Chibi is better than the main series is at this point.

I was enjoying this volume more than the last but at this point it's obvious that it has pacing issues and I am really being bugged by the amount of vague talking that gives us so very little new pieces of information (especially Raven's).

I really hope Blake's plotline intersects with this soon.

No really. I totaled my car against a tree. Somehow I’m not dead and appear to not have a concussion. Off topic but I just had this tab open when I opened my phone’s browser.

Has there been any word from Capsase yet on their status? Can't help but say I'm worried.

Well they had the superhuman force of will to text on TV Tropes after it happened. I will trust that they are receiving medical attention as we speak and are merely unable to post here.

Plus, you know, a wrecked car. Priorities.

I apologize, because there's really no way for me to ask this without sounding like an ass and I know it, but I can't help but wonder why bring that up here?

Why, of all places to mention an apparently serious, near fatal incident, is the one chosen a RWBY thread on TV Tropes?

I sincerely can not wrap my head around that. Probably because, were it me, the most I'd do is "hey, personal stuff came up, won't be posting for a while." and leave it at that.

concussion and this was the first site open on their phone

concussions don't leave you in exactly the most logical or alert state of mind

Well, for all intents and purposes, this is a small community in itself. We share opinions and personal preferences. I see nothing wrong with showing and wanting support if one feels comfortable with it.

Tvtropes is a smallish community, and I felt the need to announce what was going on on social media/online communities, so I did. I’m fine as far as I and the hospital staff can tell (no concussion), and hopefully I’ll be out some time later today.

I get that, I guess. The RWBY thread of all places just seemed like such a random choice I had to ask.
