History YMMV / RWBYFairyTalesOfRemnant

* MagnificentBastard: "The Man Who Stared at the Sun": [[DeterminedHomesteader The farmer]] is a clever and determined man who wants to make his job easier by having the sun shine on his crops at just the right temperature, getting the sun to agree to [[TheBet a competition]] with the condition the sun would help his crops grow luscious if he won. After he attempts to trick the sun into a race, he agrees on a StaringContest, immediately going blind after looking up. Even after being blinded, he is able to continue his plan by faking staring and resists the sun's attempts to trick him into looking away. After several weeks and the contest resulting in most of the world's crops dying, the sun loses and the farmer emerges victorious. After the farmer reveals his trick, even the sun, while still angry at being deceived, keeps his end of the bargain due to admiring the farmers sacrifice.

** "The Two Brothers": The legendary version of the GodOfDarkness is a [[DestroyerDeity malignant sadist of a deity]] who sees all of creation as a toy box to torment for his entertainment. Desiring to destroy everything [[GodOfLight Light]] created, Darkness wipes out early life on Remnant several times with gleeful relish, raining down fiery ash, boiling the oceans, and creating horrific beasts known only as "[[Characters/RWBYCreaturesOfGrimm the Grimm]]", who exist only to kill and destroy everything good. After creating humanity with Light, he torments them with disasters like earthquakes and creates more Grimm to wipe them out in experiments. In a fight with his brother, which causes catastrophe and death throughout the world, he nearly allows the world to burn simply to continue fighting Light. After nearly destroying all of creation so that the Gods could regain their essence and leave, Light strikes a deal with Darkness to give Humanity a chance, with Darkness only agreeing on the condition that [[OmnicidalManiac everything will burn]] if humanity does not achieve perfection.

* CompleteMonster: ** "The Infinite Man": [[DarkActionGirl The warrior]] is a thuggish BloodKnight who invades the Circle's town to "fight a God", attacking men, women, and [[WouldHurtAChild children]] alike to draw out the Infinite Man. She then manipulates the Man, claiming that she will spare the Circle if he allows her to kill him, [[ILied only to go back on her word]] and massacre the whole community, killing everyone but the Man's right-hand-woman so [[MakeAnExampleOfThem she could tell the story]], but not before the warrior mutilates her, slicing off her arm and cutting out her eye.

* TearJerker: The animated version of "The Warrior In the Woods" is told as a bedtime story that Tai is telling his daughters. In his version, the boy looks suspiciously like himself, the warrior looks like a cross between Raven and Summer, and the line that he fell for her as soon as he saw her silver eyes cuts right from the warrior to a young Ruby, listening in wonder. The subtext is clear that while he's telling the story itself, it's just as much about his love for the two women he lost, and the daughters he still has.
--> '''Taiyang''': *[[SandInMyEyes wiping tears]]* Do you want another story?
--> '''Ruby''': Nope. That one was perfect.
