User blog:KurosakiHisana/Siren Academy - Yay or Nay?

I'm a little sad. I've been told I don't complain a lot, but this blog post just might contradict that.

IMPORTANT: I'm not trying to start a flame war. All I want to do is state my viewpoint on this issue, hopefully resolve it, and move on. I'm not the kind of person who would willingly call a man or woman out for something I'd think is unjust. They have their viewpoints, and I have mine.

The Point of This Blog
Do you guys think Siren Academy is okay? Or no?

I just want to know that my characters are Accepted by the wikia members, regardless if I'm not roleplaying with them. And to do this, Siren has to be an approved location.

The Background Behind This
So, I put Tara Rhys back into Pending just to get a small thing checked out (though I don't remember what it was now). And I thought it was gonna be alright, like she'd get Accepted again. So I waited a week while she sat in Pending/the waiting room, and then one day I went to check and saw she wasn't in there. So I was like "Yay she's fine!"

Then I went to read her categories...and found out she was placed in Rejected. Why, you ask? Well, Siren Academy isn't considered a school in the RWBYverse by an admin here on the Fanon Wikia. Because "there can only 4 Beacon level schools so making a 5th one isn't acceptable." That's just a paraphrasing of the reasons the person who rejected Tara gave me.

I attempted to explain how I was upset, because no one said anything about it not being okay up until this point. I mean, I created Siren not as some sort of focal point of a fifth kingdom or any other already existing kingdom, but rather to have a diverse setting from the standard Beacon Academy which has been repeatedly used by 90% of the characters on the Wikia time and time again. Siren/Xervia is just its own little place, not a part of the other kingdoms. And no, it's not a fifth kingdom. So I'm asking if it's such an issue that it exists, if it's just another place which for all we/I know could be in another time or an alternate universe.

He responds by saying that the length of time the school's page existed is irrelevant, and that saying it's in a different time or universe altogether is massively flawed. Therefore, what's the point of having any OCs reviewed to begin with?

So, we sort of talked in the chat, and both came to a point where it's for fictional writing purposes only, not really for roleplaying (I had no intention of RPing on this site anyways).

Now, I thought I was alright with this, because he said as long as it's for fic-writing, and I don't submit anymore characters to Pending or have them reviewed, then I'd be fine.

Then I discussed the situation with a near and dear friend of mine whom has examined the RWBYverse down to a T. ...And I changed my viewpoint afterwards.

She said, "It's pissing me off because it's obvious this wouldn't have come up at all, were it not for you (Hisana) temporarily putting Tara back under Pending." And then she explains, "It's like a footnote to her thoughts like 'oh I mean to take this up let me take the opportunity now *kick.*' And you've spent I-don't-even-know-how-long worldbuilding for this. And now he's gonna put his f*cking foot in and say 'no' just because the opportunity was there? Even Drait was accepted just like- ...What the f*ck." Then she asked about making it a community college and I said no, simply because I feel like that degrades the value of the location/home I've spent over a year and a half developing. It's like a home in another dimension, to be honest, so having it stand as "not an acceptable location" feels heartwrenching, and I'm not okay with this.

Oh gosh. I've rambled. Sorry. Well, lemme just let you guys give your opinions. If you need me, I'll be gone for a few hours to see Big Hero 6 in theaters.
