An easier read at artist’s tumblr, for now now annoying “please join” at the link.
Wanted to share this because while it seems to have been well-known at the time, it was made back in 2014/15 so it’s fallen out of the fandom zeitgeist and not that many people seem to know about it anymore. It is absolutely not afraid to punch you in the gut (affectionate) and I LOVE the spare use of color as well as the animated gif page for impact.

Oohhhh damn, this fucked me up back in the day when I first read it. It’s interesting to see how RWBY has both diverged from and converged towards these more dark and angsty fandom works over the course of 9 volumes. Thank [the ] god[s] none of the main 4 have been canonically killed yet, especially in this way.
Yeah, the show being named after four of the main girls means they can’t have one of them just up and die halfway through, tho it really hasn’t put them through much in the grand scheme of things. I think V9 fumbled hard on the ascension thing but at least we saw Ruby actually hit a low.
I actually re-watched (and read for the first time) Akame Ga Kill! recently and couldn’t help but see the similarities of over-the-top spectacle fighting with utterly ridiculous weaponry but that show was not afraid to kill off its core cast one by one. In some ways I think RWBY could have benefited from that kind of ballsiness.
