Tempting Fate | |
| Describing The Series Via References (Fanfic) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Weiss remarks early on that Team RWBY shouldn't waste too much time on the memes, and that "it’s not like anything serious has cropped up". The very next meme they get indirectly outs Blake as a Faunus. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Describing The Series Via References (Fanfic) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Mercury's What Is Evil? talk with Emerald would hold a lot more weight if the conflict one of Grey-and-Gray Morality, with him under the impression that this is the case. However, what he doesn't know is that Cinder's boss is Salem, who's trying to cause The End of the World as We Know It. Something like that would be considered evil regardless of terms like "Hero" or "Villain" and is something his canon self only goes along with because it's the only thing he knows. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
| Describing The Series Via References (Fanfic) / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: Thanks to overhearing everything Team RWBY and Penny learned, Cinder opts to change her plan for the Vytal Festival. Instead of having Yang be the subject of the Frame-Up, she has Velvet be the one to face Mercury and be framed for brutality. And while she wanted Penny to be the one killed in the final round still so as to make Atlas worse looking, she has to settle for using Sun, pairing him against Cardin, while instead making Atlas seem incompetent for losing its tech to Roman and the White Fang. While she planned on having Sun be killed by Cardin, Emerald having a minor Heel Realization results in Sun only losing his tail, Cinder having to adjust her plan on the fly to focus more on the racial tension aspects rather than solely making Ozpin out to be training brutish killers. | |

| Describing The Series Via References (Fanfic) / int_72ce3f54 | comment |
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: While she’s still closest to Ruby, the rest of Team RWBY also become friends with Penny in short order and learn of her nature at the same time; canon, in contrast, has WBY more as acquaintances, even in Volume 7 after they’re in the know regarding Penny's true nature, this only changing slightly in Volume 8 where they all express concern for her and work to save her life from Arthur Watts' virus. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Describing The Series Via References (Fanfic) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Invoked by Cinder in regards to the Vytal Festival, thanks to overhearing what Team RWBY and Penny knew and deciding to embrace her role as the "Villain". Despite having a general idea of what would happen and managing to warn Pyrrha, Team RWBY and Pyrrha are ambushed by Neo before they can try and stop Cinder's attempt at causing chaos, being knocked unconscious with a toxic gas that will slowly kill them. Cinder then modifies her plan by having Velvet be the subject of the Frame-Up from facing Mercury, and the final round before her broadcast being Sun vs. Cardin. While Jaune and Penny manage to find the girls and save them thanks to Jaune unlocking his Semblance, and Emerald has earlier signs of her Heel Realization and spares Sun's life but still mutilating him by having him lose his tail, Cinder still manages to fan the flames of war and descend Beacon into chaos. It's made even worse not only by her preying on the racial tensions between Faunus and Humans by making it seem like a race war is on the horizon, but making Haven Academy seem incompetent by suggesting Sun got by on good looks alone, while Beacon was training it's students to be brutes and butchers thanks to framing Velvet and Cardin, with Ozpin being framed as too incompetent to address his students actual issues while recklessly sending them into the world of Huntsmen. | |

It Makes Sense in Context | |
| Describing The Series Via References (Fanfic) / int_ba236071 | comment |
It Makes Sense in Context: A lot of the comedy comes from Team RWBY being isolated from the memes' context; for instance, they're quite bemused by the prophetic Dishwasher because they don't know that Dishwasher1910 is the screen name of a RWBY fan artist known for how his works seem to predict plot twists. | |

Prophecy Twist | |

Prophecy Twist: The memes effectively form a set of extremely cryptic prophesies in need of interpretation to discern meaning, something the characters remark on. Unfortunately, said meaning is quite often only obvious in retrospect. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: While still comedic, the story becomes more serious as the events of canon begin to alter. Most notably, once Cinder learns of the memes, she starts trying to use them to her advantage as much as the heroes do. | |

Everyone Can See It: Weiss, along with the rest of Team RWBY, invoke this trope with the chemistry between Jaune and Pyrrha, pretending to mistake them for already dating. Ironically, while Weiss did it only to get him to stop asking her out, it actually does result in Pyrrha and Jaune getting together. | |

What Is Evil? | |
| Describing The Series Via References (Fanfic) / int_e277967 | comment |
What Is Evil?: When Emerald begins having doubts about things since, if Team RWBY are the heroes of their show in another dimension, it would make Cinder's group the villains, Mercury ultimately responds with a played with form of this. He says the only reason they are the "villains" is because they oppose Team RWBY, the "heroes", and that "stories" need to divide people into terms like that so they can be interesting. That if the show followed Team SSSN, then Blake would just be the "mean girl" for putting down Sun. That if it followed Team ABRN, none of them would even be relevant to ABRN's story. But that ultimately, they're not a story, they're just people on opposing sides, and what Emerald should be asking is if this is the side she wants to be on. | |
