Weiss Reacts to Emergence, Part 1!
A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Finally, we are at the point that you may or may NOT have been waiting for, an actual fanfic reaction! Feel free to fire shots at my expense! Today, we'll be covering the legendary RWBY fanfic 'Emergence', courtesy of Chris7221, to whom I owe a lot for shouting me out a couple of times and letting me write about his fic! Please, go read his work- it's far better written and far more interesting than this.
Well, without further ado, let's have the chapter over with before you people get bored! Which I think you already are!
DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise...*shrugs* I've got nothing.
All mentioned characters and properties belong to their respective owners.
Emergence belongs to Chris7221.
"Hey, guys." Blake asked, leaning back in her upper bunk, bouncing a rubber ball back and forth at the wall, bored. "You guys know about, like, Evangelion, Narutaru and Puella Magi, right?"
"The only reason I know about that blasted Puella Magi thing is because RUBY decided to give me a Sayaka plushie for my birthday..." Weiss sighed, looking over to Ruby, who was giggling.
"In my defence, I thought Sayaka might suit you..."
"Hehe." Yang chuckled. "You haven't even watched the show, Ruby. You wouldn't know."
The reaper frowned. "But they're both blue-haired swordfighters!"
"My hair is WHITE." Weiss corrected her girlfriend, scoffing. "I can't believe you didn't notice my hair color! D-Dolt!"
"T-the lighting always makes it look like your hair's blue..." Ruby twiddled her fingers ashamedly. "S-sorry..."
"Hey! Guys!" Blake snapped, catching the ball in its final bounce. "Question? I was asking one?"
Yang blinked, before nodding quickly. "Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, I know about those. Genre deconstructions, right?"
"Anyway..." The catgirl rubbed her chin with two fingers, studying the ball in thought. "I was wondering if there was anything like that for fanfiction."
"Tons! I think." Yang looked away, briefly thinking. "That makes sense that someone might make one..."
Weiss gazed at Blake, nodding. "That sounds like a good idea, actually. Picking apart all these perverted lemons and stupid comedy fics written by stupid shipper perverts..."
Yang winked at her. "You're in a stupid comedy fic written by a stupid shipper pervert."
"So you keep claiming." The heiress quickly shot back, crossing her arms. "I told you, unless this 'ElfCollaborator' person you keep claiming's behind all of this shows up and uses god powers or something, he's just another stupid pervert writer who somehow knows about everything we do."
Ruby nodded. "Now that you mention it, we should probably look to see if one of those exists...
And anyway, we can't use our TV to watch anything."
Blake nodded slowly, recalling what happened. "...aaaah. Right. We...accidentally smashed the TV with the controllers...eh, Norn should have it fixed in two days."
"I wonder what her team even does in their spare time..." Ruby said as she strolled over to the computer to turn it on.
"Probably nothing like what Velvet does." Blake shrugged, before holding up her finger for a second. "Wait."
"Huh?" Weiss looked over at her. "What?"
The catgirl sighed and prodded the vent over her with an air horn, before blowing it into the vent. A loud squeak was heard, followed by frenzied scrabbling.
"Just Velvet. Don't mind it."
"Figures." Weiss rolled her eyes. "Very well, I'll bite." Pulling aside a large shark-tooth patterned beanbag, she sat next to Ruby as she booted up the computer.
Minutes later...
"Emergence?" Blake scratched her head, studying the screen closely and looking at the first fic she'd found that looked like it might be a deconstruction. "That...isn't that a book?"
"I think so." Yang rubbed her chin, reading the blurb. She smiled. "Yes! I'm a main character in this story! Woo! Someone who knows of my awesomeness!"
"The blurb is about Ruby." Weiss reminded her, deflating her teammate slightly. "Hm...Earth?"
"Must be a more realistic version of Earth than where we live in." Blake noted. "I'm ASSUMING we're on Earth, what with Japan being here and all..."
Weiss gave her a deadpan look. "Is this even relevant?"
"Reverse self-insert?" Yang nodded in approval, curling her lip and clicking on the link. "Sounds good."
Ruby eagerly read the fic, being as it was that she was the main character, and team RWBY sat down with her to the read the first arc.
...
The reaper nodded. "Now I know how it feels to be mistaken for a cosplayer..."
Weiss scoffed. "Any fool would know that you were the real thing! Just try to pick up that stupid scythe of yours!"
Blake shook her head. "We don't live on that Earth, therefore we have no idea how puny muggles might feel when they see us. Although 'awe' and 'worship' come to mind."
"No me?" Yang pouted in disappointment. "That sucks..."
"Yaaaaay we actually read a fic where I'm the main character!" Ruby cheered. "It's always Weiss or Yang for some reason when we read a fic. I don't know why..."
Blake shrugged nonchalantly. "Maybe because the title of the fic is Weiss Reacts?"
"Shush. Read the fic. For once, I don't want to throttle the author..." The heiress noted. "...and that's a first. Maybe because he isn't a stupid shipper pervert."
Yang giggled, shaking her head. "Oh, Weiss..."
"If you're insinuating that I would sink to your level, Yang, you are dead-"
"Oh, Suzaku..." The brawler stated teasingly, taking in Weiss' shocked expression. She nodded, confirming Weiss' suspicions.
"Mhm. I still remember your yaoi collection."
"Y-you...monster..." The heiress mumbled, hiding her face in her sleeve ashamedly.
Blake pouted. "No action? T-this is UNMANLY!"
"Not everything has to be manly, you dunce!" Weiss suddenly looked up at her and snapped. "W-what is with you and manliness?!"
"If I have to give you ONE more speech on why manliness is the only thing that matters, I will be very disappointed in you." The catgirl reminded her. "I thought I got it into your head how important being a manly person is!"
"T-that did nothing!"
Ruby continued reading the chapters, nodding silently to herself, before rubbing her temples.
"...this feels weird." The reaper muttered. Yang looked at her curiously.
"Huh?"
"I'm reading...about myself in a fanfic, watching a series about myself. Is that normal?"
"You mean you haven't noticed that for the last hundred chapters?" Yang remarked.
"Point taken." Ruby nodded, sighing. "I just want to give myself a hug...she's just so...lost."
"Awwww~" The brawler giggled, hugging her younger sister. "Don't worry, I'll hug you~"
Ruby nuzzled into her sister, sighing happily. "Yaaaay!"
Blake rubbed her chin. "...they actually sent those handsome gentlemen at Rooster Teeth videos of Ruby?"
"Least we know where Monty got his ideas for Volume Two." Yang mused, before snapping her fingers. "Hey, you guys ever wonder how he got the ideas for RWBY in OUR world? I mean...someone had to have told him about this to make that web animation..."
Meanwhile, in JNPR dorm...
Ren sneezed.
"Dammit. I'm coming down with something again." He rubbed his nose, continuing to type.
On the screen was a script labelled 'Episode: Painting the Town'. Nora poked her head in from the side, cooing at him.
"Reeeeen! Dooooo you want pancakes?"
"No thanks."
"Oooooh, what's that?" Nora poked the screen.
"Just a thing I'm writing." The gunslinger shrugged casually.
"It looks awesome!"
"You have no idea."
Back in RWBY dorm...
Ruby poked the screen, drawing everyone's attention to it.
"And Weiss is there too!"
"...what? I am?" Weiss moved over to her to read the end of the tenth chapter. "...
I ended up in Russia?"
"WHAT?!" Blake looked over, shoving her aside. She frowned.
"Awww...I wanted to end up in Russia! Russia's awesome!"
"Because it's manly?" The heiress rolled her eyes.
"You know it."
"Huh." Ruby nodded. "...this is actually fairly interesting. I'm kinda sad that I'm a little out of character..."
"He DID say he couldn't write you." Yang shrugged. "Kinda expected."
"Oh...excellent. I got mistaken for some weird cartoon character from some movie." Weiss grumbled. "Dammit, I've WATCHED the movie and I know what she looks like, I look nothing like that!"
"Princess Anastasia..." Blake snickered. "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Russian history- being that we are from Vytal- but even I know she's been dead for at least a century.
Fits the whole tragic princess vibe you give off, though."
Weiss leered at her. "Call me a tragic princess again and I'll have you eliminated."
Yang laughed. "Oh dear...you guys are going to go all the way from Vancouver to Ukraine?"
"I already feel sorry for the guy's wallet." Weiss remarked. "Wait, shush, we're going to read this next chapter."
"...dear Oum that got dark quickly." Weiss shuddered. "Seriously, I got shoved into a warzone? And how do I not understand German? Ich bin Deutsch! Es ist klar, ja? Mein Name ist Deutsch!"
"We know, you keep singing Rammstein lyrics when we leave you to it." Blake chuckled.
"Well, they're about the only band I know with songs about sharks!" Weiss protested, before sighing.
"And I am NOT an anime character! How could you mistake me for something from an anime?"
"You do act like an unholy mixture of Asuna and Shana." Yang pointed out.
Weiss facepalmed. "I don't even know who any of those characters are, you dolt."
Blake cringed at the war scene. "Okay...that just...ouch. Poor Dmitry."
Weiss gagged slightly, before changing the chapter. "...tell me about it. This story pulls no punches...
...and what did they expect was going to happen when they decide to say that they're looking for an apparently fictional character? Incompetents."
"On second thought, action might not be the best thing around here..." Blake pointed out. "For once, action is NOT manly.
Not when the opponents are essentially made of plasticine as far as we're concerned."
Yang nodded, swallowing. "Y-yeah. Let's just get this chapter out of the way..."
"You alright, Yang?" Ruby looked concerned. "You don't look too good."
"I-I'm fine."
Weiss nodded. "She has a point. This story is...incredibly realistic. Definitely a lot less comedic than what we usually read...
Yang, if you need a moment, you-"
"No." The brawler shook her head. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm just a little...uncomfortable about reading this. It's just so...brutal, I guess."
Weiss sighed, rolling her eyes. "Dammit, Yang. This gets you? I thought you were stronger than that. You can take a break if you want, okay?"
Yang nodded slowly. "Okay. I'm fine. T-thanks, Weiss."
"Hmph. You're a dolt, but it doesn't suit you to be acting like this." The heiress crossed her arms.
Ruby giggled, hugging her. "Awwww...you really DO care about Yang-"
"N-no! S-she's my teammate and I don't want to see her acting t-this sad!" Weiss retorted, a bit too hastily.
Yang smiled.
"Right, Weiss. I'll take you on your word."
The heiress sighed loudly. "J-just read the stupid fic, y-you idiots!"
Blake chortled, going to the next chapter. "Alright, alright. You don't need to be so tsundere about your friends, too."
"I-I am NOT!" Weiss grumbled. "Honestly, you morons...
And so, the girls began to read the next couple of chapters eagerly. Again.
"Operation Fall-" Weiss rubbed her temples, shaking her head. "...I don't even...gah. I agree with his friend. Still, good on them for heading to a warzone...even if it is an incredibly stupid move."
"Least they decided on a better name, even if it's a lot more punny." Yang noted, moving to the next chapter. "...and this Katya girl's a badass. I don't care. Seriously, you've got to be to have the balls to pull what she did, right?"
Blake nodded. "When we're done, I'm drawing fanart of this thing. Not of the more...gory...scenes, but still. She gets the triangle shades."
Weiss looked to Blake. "What is with you and triangle shades-oh, wait, no, that was a stupid question. I know. It's because they're manly or something."
"Not bad." Blake nodded, smiling smugly. "You've learnt well."
Yang nodded. "That entire family she stayed with needs a medal or something."
"...I'm kinda disappointed they thought I was a fascist..." Weiss grumbled. "And offended. Definitely offended."
"Awww!" Ruby pouted as she read the next chapter. "Why didn't I get to go?!"
"You don't have a passport and you'd probably do something stupid, considering you thought that going straight into a warzone wasn't going to be dangerous." Weiss remarked.
The reaper frowned. "I-I'm not THAT naive!"
"You once thought babies came from flying Nevermores with top hats." Yang reminded her happily.
"Y-you told me that!"
"And you believed it~"
Weiss stared at her girlfriend in disbelief. "Are you SERIOUSLY that much of a dunce?!"
"I-In my defence, I was eight!"
Blake nodded in approval. "This fic's pretty good for realism...but props to her uncle for letting a possible crazy person stay with her."
"Still waiting for my part in this fic..." Yang sighed, tapping the desk. "Blaaaaake...change the chapter so we can get to my part!"
"Alright, alright. Two seconds ago, you were depressed..." Blake reminded her, but obliged.
The brawler shrugged. "I get over things quickly."
"Least there's nothing perverted in this fic for you to make fun of." Weiss stated in a relieved tone. "At least, I HOPE there isn't."
"Oh, Weiss." Yang chuckled. "You've not learned anything if you think I need a fic to make perverted jokes."
Meanwhile, Blake nodded in approval at the passport acquisition scene.
"Nice and sneaky...although I would have probably picked Elsa instead of Anna for Weiss' name. Pretty fitting."
"Elsa Weiss?" Ruby thought for a moment. "Sounds like a Witch or something..."
"Weiss as a Witch..." The catgirl shuddered. "That would be...unthinkable..."
The heiress looked over to the screen, reading the last chapter of the arc. "...I feel so...awkward. That's just...dammit, why do I have to be so clueless and stupid in this?!"
"To be fair, you DID just get hurled into another world that you know nothing about..." Yang pointed out. "You're pretty lucky in that respect."
"I hardly call being forced to kill people lucky."
"Point."
"Yaaaay, we're back together!" Ruby cheered. "And hugs for everyone!"
"At least this arc ended happily." Weiss sighed. "Even if I DO feel sorry for Katya..."
"Eh. She'll be in good hands. Hopefully." Blake reassured her. "Now...the end of this arc...pfft. Flying into space without giant robots. The Earth in that fic must be boring."
"No White Rose?" Yang frowned. "That would've been nice."
Weiss laughed triumphantly. "Finally! A fic without this shipping!"
Yang sniffled. "...my feels...oh, wait." She held a finger up, pointing at the act 3 teaser.
"...Blake ended up near a maid cafe? And cosplayers? Wait...DAMMIT I CAN'T MAKE A PERVERTED JOKE HERE!"
Weiss smiled smugly. "I win."
Yang collapsed to the ground dramatically. "Noooooooo!"
Blake chuckled, moving to go to the next chapter. "Oh. I'm gonna love my arc. I ended up in Japan, too.
Fitting that I end up in the homeland of Gurren Lagann, after all."
The brawler pouted and sulked, crossing her arms. "Why can't I go to Japan?! You guys got all the cool places..."
END OF PART 1
A/N: So we took care of Ruby and Weiss' arcs, next chapter, it'll be Blake, Yang and MAYBE a little Omake about the Asides! Especially one particular aside of which you people should probably be aware of if you keep track of his awesome fics...
