Jenny Brown And it also feels like they couldn't stick to a theme for inspirations fairytales mythology religion poetry characters children's literature fables nursery rhymes and characters from books that kids might have seen on the big screen like the jungle book and animals both living and dead that makes sense but food themed? Meme themes? Internet website themed? The book the glass menagerie? Jurassic park?Bartleby the scrivener?real world actors that have nothing to do with the show?the island of doctor moreau?a clockwork orange?the boardgame clue?sherlock holmes ? Characters from a very well known anime?supervillains from a butch hartman cartoon?minecraft?famous French fashion designers?Italian inventor/artists?

Jenny Brown So to put my nonexistent money where my mouth is I will put down all the characters that are inspired by something from rwby and Wright a quickish blurb about what would they be like if they were more than just a surface level inspiration so I can move on from my disappointment? Hate? Of this show and you guys can react if you want or add things if you like if you are just as disappointed with this show as I was
