a fellow by the name Industrious over on Spacebattles had been doing a "In Which I Watch" of RWBYstarting right from he start (he hadn't seen it previously and a secondary thread was created so that people could discuss upcoming events without Spoiling him). He came up with several amusing nicknames for characters.
Ozpin became Beat Poet Dumbledore (BPD for short)Goodwitch was Kinky McGonagal (often shortened to Kinky)Ruby became Red (natch)Yang he called Buffy (the Vampire Slayer)Nora got tagged Thor even before he found out about the meta sources for Team JNPRJaune became Helpless Anime Protagonist early on (HAP for short)Pyrrha was tagged Amazon (and Doomed Girl in vol 3 cause several posters were nowhere near as subtle/cunning in their comments as they thought they were)Qrow was Danteoh, and he declared Ozpin's secret team, The Order of the Pheonix pretty much right away.
Torchwick became Alex DelargeRight from the Black Trailer, Adam was christened McTryhard Van Immasoedgyand Emerald was immediately tagged as Slutty Tomb Raider (STR) as soon as she became visible.
Anyways, after he'd gotten caught up and people started pondering the next volume, my brain slapped together a couple of silly scenes:*******Ruby shows up in Atlas, tracking down Weiss, while wearing a cheap suit.
RR: "Hi, Weiss." *waves*
WS: "RUBY?!? You're okay! What are you doing here?"
RR: "I'm putting the band back together."********Jaune: "It's 106 miles to Haven, we have a full tank of dust, half a carton of milk, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
Ruby: "Hit it."
