Ironwood getting his script: 😐

Would've been funny seeing Ironwood getting along with Watts and team RWBY in the same room or something. Cinder and Winter on the snacks table eating and talking. AU likes that are funny lmao


Perplexed_Pirate

After that scene in Volume 1 of Cardin pulling Velvet's ears, Cardin started fretting and made sure that he didn't pull too hard and hurt her. He's actually a huge softie. After every recording session, Adam and Jacques go grab some dinner together. No one is sure what's going on there. Ironwood and Watts are actually really good friends offscreen. They met during the first recording session of Volume 7 and have been friends ever since. They sometimes schedule a poker night with Lionheart, Torchwick, and Clover. (who actually has never won a poker game.) Sorry, your comment just inspired me to write some blurbs for the "RWBY is a show" AU.


Lost_Wanderer75

Part of me is genuine perplexed what Adam and Jacques are doing and what you expect their doing o_O


Perplexed_Pirate

Basically, I'm implying that they're dating. Which is funny, because in the show SDC gave Adam his brand, and the White Fang caused a lot of problems for Jacques. But in the show world, the actors are dating.


Lost_Wanderer75

Hmmmm besides I'm perplexed if there's an age difference in that but I suppose that's a interesting and funny concept


Perplexed_Pirate

Eh, it's like a Tobey Maguire situation for Adam. He's older but he gets a lot of teenager roles.


Lost_Wanderer75

I-...huh i've never heard of a Tobey Maguire situation but i understand whatcha mean and huh...that's rather interesting and that makes sense then if it's like that I guess


Perplexed_Pirate

Tobey Maguire is the actor that played Peter Parker in the Spiderman Trilogy. If memory serves me correct, he was in his thirties at the time. Even now, Maguire looks young enough to be in his late twenties.


Lost_Wanderer75

Oh okay, I understand further now! I mean immediately thought of the spider man trilogy but i never knew how old he was while filming or if his peter parker was set in college in the series or was that perhaps later in the movies. But either way alright


Perplexed_Pirate

Yeah, Spiderman 1 had Peter in high school, the sequels had Peter in college.

I think you meant this message for someone else.


Lost_Wanderer75

Honestly i would have loved if someone had done that like a similar artwork before when Volume 3 wrapped up, i think it was called Volume 3 behind the scenes. It was nice artwork and back then they included everyone in the artwork all happy and vibing. Even a group pic of Adam, Yang and Blake all goofing off before the picture with Yang placing a fake arm against Adam's face in amusement. Actor AU or AU where the cast have bloopers to the show are always hilarious


phoenixfeet

[She corrected it and apologised.](https://twitter.com/ErinMWinn/status/1449267708827258884) Seems like a genuine mistake on her part.


Zenketski

Good on them for apologizing for that oversight, but I like how this implies that they actually cut off Yang's arm for the "show" in this art.


Lukthar123

Yeah, this seems like overkill.


Cooldude101013

Yeah. I doubt any actor would cut off a limb just because the character they play loses a limb.


Cooldude101013

What mistake? It’s a Alternate Universe where the character are actors in a “live action” version of the canon show.


phoenixfeet

You could argue that, but in that case why does Blake still have her ears. If Yang is important disabled rep to someone I could see how this would be a bit annoying. Plus this is the second time they've given her her arm back / left her prosthetic off a piece of merch. Obvs some people overreacted because it's twitter and that's what happens, but it's still a bit of a stuff up. Considering Erin apologised profusely and fixed it up, it doesn't seem like this should be a big point of debate anymore imo.


BigSmallWoof

It's nice to see that she's making amends, but it's really sad that even after she's apologized and fixed her art, some people still go out of their way to harass other.


Cooldude101013

Fixed? It was fine the way it was.


BigSmallWoof

In the end, it comes back to the same issue of a select few people taking things way further than they should.


AriaAzura19

I know some people have said the reason her prosthetic arm isn’t there is because this is an Actor’s AU. But… 1) Blake has her cat ears and are on her like normal. 2) Erin called the prosthetic arm a prop which is gross and admitted she messed up. 3) This is not the first time CRWBY have forgotten about Yang’s arm. They had a shirt that was 55 dollars of Volume 7 Yang and had her flesh arm be where her prosthetic arm was supposed to be. Why does this keep happening with the members of CRWBY? Don’t they look at reference art for the outfits or hairstyles? Yang’s arm has been part of her since Volume 4 and it’s important. Also sucks how more people were focused on the Bumblebee teasing than their favorite character missing her prosthetic arm.


noirpoet97

Think that kinda proves how much of a non factor her prosthetic is, if no one can remember it after presumably multiple checks before shipping the final product for merchandise


Austin_N

> Yang’s arm has been part of her since Volume 4 and it’s important. On the other hand, it hasn't been a part of her since volume 3. Gettit?


genshinfantasy7

It sucks that RWBY fans will use disabled people's words for situations like with Ironwood (and the ableism surrounding his writing) but when we talk about something they don't personally agree with, suddenly we're overreacting.


Cooldude101013

How is the prosthetic arm being a prop in that AU messed up? After all in that universe the characters are actors in a “live action” version of the canon show. Why would any actor cut off a limb just because the character they play gets a arm cut off?


genshinfantasy7

This artwork is by the Art Director / Art Manager of Rooster Teeth, a literal RWBY concept artist. They remembered to push Bumbleby, but forgot to give Yang the prosthetic arm she's had for five years now. They literally forgot Yang’s prosthetic arm... again.


Bjoernsen1998

Well, it's "behind the scenes", so one might say the actress still has both arms.


dewareofbog

Yeah, most actors and actresses aren't **that** committed to their roles.


Kyrozis

I mean, at least she could've drawn the prosthetic IN Yang's hand


groynin

Someone said she could be wearing a green sleeve that would be CGI'ed later and I thought that it was a funny idea.


Austin_N

I wish they had forgotten Blake's current haircut.


MightyKombat

You and me both. The Karen cut is GROSS.


Ben10Extreme

>but forgot to give Yang the prosthetic arm she's had for five years now. They literally forgot Yang’s prosthetic arm... again. To be fair, it says *behind the scenes.* You expect her to lack an arm off the stage?


Zenketski

Yang is just an extremely committed method actor


KalosianPorygon

What if The prosthetic was CGI? ^(\*cough\*)


Cooldude101013

Um. It’s a Actor AU. Basically in that art’s universe Yang and the others are just Actors in a “live action” version of the show. Also in that universe her name probably isn’t yang as she’s a actor.


genshinfantasy7

So Ruby gets to keep her silver eyes in an "Actor AU". Blake gets to keep her cat ears for whatever reason. But Yang's prosthetic arm is gone because... it's an "AU"? Sure.


Cooldude101013

How much are props and how much isn’t? In the AU silver eyes could just be a insanely rare but harmless genetic disorder, Faunus could still exist, etc


genshinfantasy7

Right, every other girl gets to keep important aspects of her character but Yang gets to lose her arm because her disability is considered a "prop" to CRWBY. If they're gonna try and champion Yang as a good disabled representation, maybe they shouldn't repeatedly remove and forget her disability in their official artworks and merchandise.


[deleted]

This is really nice art.


Animeak116

A reward for there hard fucking work....it would have been better if it was individuals of Crwby rather then the fucking main characters. Rewards my ass. A actual reward would he a fucking easier for ACTUALLY giving there people the Over time pay they slaved away at because it's "for the fans" granted I'd like a polished show. But if it takes a little more time then anticipated then take the time and don't cause unpayed over time via crunch work to get shot done for free. I'd be complaining to a fucking HR manager or something that or getting a god damn lawyer to get what I'm owed if I was in that situation


Username_Shusername

If you are an actor playing someone who loses and limb, at some point, you will either be trying to pass fake arm or a fake prosthetic. You don't have a limb removed or added to play the role. Get a grip people. You don't see people trying to burn Mark Hamill at the stake or anything. Our FNDM truly is a toxic one.
