I just want them all to have a happily ever after, and Im not just saying that to be a baby, and I was told of 'conflict' and 'sad, beautiful, meanginful death' but its not the only way to write these characters, it isn't.

I know I can't change the canon universe of RWBY, I accept that, but I can create an alternate one that is just as alive, just as compelling, just as meaningful. The canon way isn't the only way, and it seems too many shows have had that.

Back then there was Sailor Moon, Dragonball z, Inuyasha, FMA, and what happened in the end, they all got a happily ever after, and is that to be mocked or seen as weak or cheap? No.

But now with shows like Akame Ga Kill, Gurren Laggan, and now RWBY it seems like that culture is dying, and time and time again we see couples like Jaune and Pyrrha get squandered, even if it is good writing doesnt mean its the only way

Pyrrha can fullfill destiny AND live, but perhaps it would take while (oh say she ends up like Amber and Jaune and the others are compelled to got to mantle to find a way to save her) she has plenty of reasons to live for that

Penny, welll shes and android so I have no worries with that

I want to keep moving forward, but I want to do it my own way

But at the same time with everyone prasing these deaths I feel like a selfish and terrible person and im spitting on Monty's grave

What  do I do guys?
