Episode 9: The Badge and the Burden
A new day dawns as the girls in Team RWBY try to bond by redecorating their dorm room. After that gets done, the girls head off to class, where a portly professor (appropriately named Professor Port) talks about what makes a true Huntsman and Huntress. Weiss declares that she has what it takes to be a true Huntress, so Professor Port begins setting up a challenge for her.
There’s really not much I can say about this episode. I though the camaraderie among Ruby, Blake and Yang was great (if not a bit rushed) and Weiss’ belief that she’s the best I feel fits with her character that we’ve seen thus far. This is especially powerful with the scenes of Ruby goofing off in class while Weiss glares at her through her scarred eye. (…which I missed the story behind, sad to say. Now I really want to know what the deal is with that!)
I guess my one nitpick of this episode would have to be with Professor Port’s voice. Now, don’t get me wrong, Ryan Haywood performs the role well, but I just don’t buy that voice coming out of a body like that. I think a slightly deeper voice would’ve been a better fit, but that's just my personal preference, not a bash against the actor. Putting that aside, I think the character could be entertaining if he’s recurring.
Nothing much else to say about this one. I can’t wait to see what Weiss will have to go through in the next episode.
Episode 10: The Badge and the Burden, Part 2
Weiss fights against a Boar monster as part of Professor Port’s class. Ruby tries to cheer her on, but Weiss gets increasingly frustrated, even with her defeat of the creature. Weiss vents her anger out on Ruby by declaring her being made leader was a mistake due to her immaturity. Ruby and Weiss express their doubts to Ozpin and Port, who tell them sage advice to give them. They take the words to heart in order to get along better.
It’s refreshing to see Weiss get a little more development. The saying does go that, “One must first admit there is a problem before the problem can be solved.” Weiss’ talk with Professor Port about accepting what she has in life is one that’s been told in other stories, but it doesn’t make the meaning any less powerful. I’m glad to see her trying to adjust to being part of a team.
Ruby, as well, has a great story this episode, too. Her talk with Ozpin about the responsibilities of leadership is one I don’t hear often enough in these kinds of stories. Her decision to take Ozpin’s advise and try to improve herself is a powerful decision on her part, since she’s just been going with the flow until now.
However, the most powerful scene comes at the end of the episode, with Weiss announcing her resolve to be a great teammate to Ruby. That marks a big turning point in her that I’d love to see come to fruition in future episodes.
I can’t wait to see how Ruby and Weiss’ relationship goes from here.

Neutralizing Leona (KoF XWG/slob/bad end)
Characters: Whip and Leona from King of Fighters Contains: extreme slob, xwg, ussbbw, weight gain to extremely unrealistic sizes, stuffing, force feeding, BAD END. As Whip pulled up to the barracks, she had an uneasy feeling. Heidern had assigned her to a very odd mission, one that confused her almost as much as it worried her. Leona's riot of the blood had been manifesting more frequently. However, instead of lashing out violently, the poor woman would instead become ravenous, devouring anything she could get her hands on for hours on end. While she'd learned to suppress her anger, Leona hadn't ever needed to suppress gluttony, and as such had no control over the hunger that burned within her. Today was the start of Whip's turn to watch over her for the week, and as she walked up to her door she saw Ralf Jones leaving, looking utterly exhausted. The gruff, usually upbeat warrior wiped some sweat off his brow. The wall of muscle had a noticeable food baby that he was cradling as he

Glee: The Week-Long Tickle Fight
Ryder Lynn arrived at the McKinley High gym to see the side door already ajar before walking through and finding Coach Evans rolling out a wrestling mat onto the middle of the floor. “Ryder, just the guy I was looking for” “Is this a bad time? I didn’t realize you were the wrestling coach now too” “Nah, practice isn’t for another 30 minutes. I’ve got plenty of time” Sam assured. “Thanks. Mr. Schue said you could help me with my high notes; he said you were pretty good at them” “Well it kind of depends on the song but I guess I can give you a few pointers” Sam offered with a friendly smile before they got to work on the song Ryder had been struggling to perfect. “See? You’ve got it!” the former New Direction member praised after hearing Ryder nail the falsetto, putting a big smile on the 18 year old’s face. “Damn, I guess I did haha. That was amazing - thanks, Sam!” Ryder answered like he’d unlocked a new level of singing. “Happy to help. I’ve been in your shoes; I know how much

Preg Emblem: the Artifact
Warning: this story includes the themes of pregnancy, pregnant expansion, the shipping of Eliwood x Ninian, and the shipping of Hector x Lyn. Also this story is very long so read at your own pace. I hope you enjoy :) Eliwood has forgotten how long the journey was between Pherae and Ostia. When he was a young child, he used to travel from Pherae to Ostia almost all the time and he somehow remembered the trip taking at most two hours. However, he couldn’t be more wrong as it was now the fourth hour of his trip and Ostia was still nowhere in sight. The Marquess was looking through the window of the wooden carriage that he and his wife were riding in and all he could see was farmland, farmland, farmland, and even more farmland. How did the red haired Marquess’s impatient, younger self thought that time went faster? Was it because his younger self found a way to entertain himself? Was it because his younger self fell asleep during the ride to and back from Ostia? Or was it because his

It's great that you're loving RWBY, and I'm not just saying that because you've lighten up on Weiss. To be honest, I expected you to say something more hateful about her in ep 9. Thanks for proving me wrong. ^__^
One of the things I really love about Weiss is how she starts to turn around. It's easy to make a likable character from the get go, but it's a challenge to make an unlikable character who is man character be accepted and liked.
I hope you enjoy the rest of RWBY!
