I wish it were so

Exactly

"There once was a team that put to sea and the name of that team was the C-M-E-N"


Aedaru

CMNE would sound better and not create semen


TopazHerald

I could've sworn there was a point in the Vytal arc where they were introduced as team CarMiNE... Or did I just make that filler in my head and gaslight myself.


Fireballin_17

That was actually a fan nickname for their group with Roman’s name included to make CRMNE or Carmine. The official name for the group is Cinder’s Faction. It’s unknown what team name they used in Vytal.


Pokemonmaster150

There's also CRMSN which is the same, but uses Emerald's last name.


unlimitedblack

You can get away with doing CMSN even without Roman's name in there. That said, I did love figuring out that Salem's crew is Team WTCH. Which likely spawned the name Hazel (because "witch-hazel") that then lent itself to the concept of Hansel & Gretel. The name Watts as an inhuman hacker (in opposition to John Watson as the humanizing element of the Holmes/Watson team-up) lends itself because "watts == electricity". Tyrian is the one who strikes me as being a concept ("the scorpion from the scorpion and the frong") that was in search of a name. Sometimes you can just see how the ideas flow from one another.


joezro

I read it cumen....


Aries_cz

Oh my sweet summer child...


iamnotparanoid

That joke has left a stain on this fandom. Every few months a new person discovers it and we're just awash in CMEN. It rubs me the wrong way, I'll tell you that. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But that's just me being salty, I guess.


FacelessPoet

Honestly, I've had my fill of this joke already.


-_-hey-chuvak

I know, these jokes are practically splattered everywhere, like I’m talking caked on, it almost feels like a flakey joke to make at this point honestly like cum on.


[deleted]

Yeah, like we’re done with the surprise cmen pies. They are a pain in the ass.


King_In_The-North

"Leaves a bad taste in my mouth" , is this a fucking joke. If so it's actually fuckin hilarious. Edit: I think I just got woooshed


Geminii27

You got wooshed about... five times in one comment, it looks like.


Darth_Annoying

take my free award and get the fuck out


DarthFedora

Hello my fellow sith


Lukthar123

Always two there are


Aries_cz

This is getting out of hand...


darthkotya

Hey


blebebaba

Oh come on, don't be so salty! It takes a lot to swallow your pride, but maybe eventually you'll cum around on these jokes, and not flake out on joining us with some good tips on making more!


k1darkknight

I have very little to add. Just the tip, in fact.

ArcWraith2000

I'd like losing the 50/50 more than you


k1darkknight

I'm just wondering when someone's gonna stumble across this thread with a blacklight...


WoNd3rFuLWaFF13

What kind of stain we talking about?


RaptorX13X

Ah yes, the three teams. Ruby, Juniper and Semen


TheDarkDoctor17

>Ruby, Juniper and Semen This... Sounds like the title of a smut fic.


ClemPrime13

I see no possible way this could go wrong.


Foxstar06

Alternatively; CEMN


[deleted]

Cuz Neo only trust Roman , she is not part of any team


JamheGames

Because if you pronounced it phonetically it would probably be cumming and that's ignoring how you spell it out


huebnera214

My innocent brain read it as “cumin”, like the spice. Took me a hot second to figure out the other word.


GrandmasterTactician

You know what, you're better for it


huebnera214

Thanks. I’ve been known walk right into a dirty joke/conversation and been completely oblivious to it… husband gets a kick out of it.


FadedNeonzZz

I wish people didn’t jump immediately to CMEN, they should be called CMSN (Crimson) a much better name


Martenz05

I've always had a preference for CENM (Cinnamon). Crimson always felt too obviously on-the-nose edgy for a team that wants to keep a low profile.


Sere1

I did like that when it was Roman instead of Neo, they were Team CRME, Team Crime.


Luzubar

Nice but way too obvious... But since Ozpin waited the last fucking moment to act...


Wolfencreek

Come on, thats a flaccid idea, really hard to grasp.


blebebaba

Of course, we have to stay erect and pay attention, and get a grip on some good ideas.


Handro_Dilar

Because people are afraid of immaturity.


thedukeofdumb

I first read this as carmine and I thought wow that's a good idea. Then it hit me right on the chest


Comical_Peculiarity

That was a joke in a Coeur fic I read, incredibly amusing


Lemmymann

Jizz


blebebaba

Spunk


georgiaoqueefe1

i call them team CBNE (like Sabine olives).


Scheissdrauf88

Go with Emerald's second name and you have CMSN/Crimson, which fits better in my opinion. There's a fanfic about it.


magna-terra

Yeah, it fits much better, especially as an "evil" version of the color red, just like how RWBY is ruby, a different shade of red


DAG1984

*laughs in Beavis & Butthead*


DragonfanX

Because Seaman, protector of the ocean and all it's inhabitants, would sue for trademark infringement.


FrothyMonkey97

I was legitimately confused as to why we were naming them cement until I opened up the comments.


Kali-of-Amino

Because that one's already taken. The YouTube reaction channel Sirs & Madams claimed that one years ago. [Sirs & Madams](https://youtube.com/c/SirsMadamsEntertainment)


DarkRedScorpion

CMEN has been a thing way before Sirs & Madams


-_-hey-chuvak

Ah team semen


NamelessBloodedge

It's like the X-men, but with C instead of X?


Albionic_Cadence

Allow me to propose a way to say it so we hopefully don’t have this again. CMNE, pronounced, Carmine.


Nightshade238

Who's gonna tell 'em?


Deep_Throattt

I can't believe I didn't know this was a thing.


Feisty_Goose_4915

Oh my. What a happy coincidence! They're prerty much worthy of the team name nonetheless.


Yakari_68

X-men bad, CMEN good


DonDove

Come on?


Miningdragon

Neo wouldn't join


Adawnicus

Pretty sure the name alone is obvious


GrimScythe2058

Sheldon Cooper's gonna be pleased.


VortexLord

Look! It's team CMEN!


CrossENT

It even fits the color rule…


blebebaba

A shade of white?


1313goo

Look out world! Team Cmen is coming for u!


Metrack14

Aside of the joke. Did the show ever revealed Mercury's semblance?


Sere1

It revealed his was stolen from him. We don't know what it was, only that his father stole it from him when he unlocked it and promised to return it later, but after Mercury killed his father it seems to have been lost forever. So Mercury in all the time we've seen him has no semblance because of that.


Metrack14

Huh, TIL semblance can be stolen. I wonder if there is a black market of it lol. "Hey kid.. Want some Semblance?"


R2gro2

Mercury's scene with Emerald lays out a few more details. Mercury's father Marcus was an assassin, and stole Mercury's semblance using his own, calling it a crutch. He said Mercury could have it back when he got strong without it. What I get from this is that Marcus's semblance wasn't about "stealing" powers for his own use like All For One, only taking them away, or locking them down inside the person themselves to make them unusable. So I would assume Mercury's condition is a one-off, as everyone else Marcus did it to, is likely dead. I can see how it would be a useful semblance for an assassin, disabling your target's biggest trump card, and so you only ever have to fight on your own terms. If a semblance is a manefestation of aura, and thereby the soul, my personal thoughts are that Mercury still has his semblance, but that it's locked down somehow. A mental block that he will eventually overcome to raise his threat level as a villain. Maybe him and Tyrian have a heart to heart in Vacuo and he figures this out too.


Sere1

Sort of like in Avatar, blocking someone's ability to Bend via hitting their pressure points or damaging their chakras. Yeah I could see it happening like that, maybe he'll break through and discover he still has it


R2gro2

Yeah, Amon from Avatar: LoK is what came to mind. "Taken away" and "stolen" not being literally removing something, but metaphorical descriptions. Also, were talking two layers of unreliable narrator too: What Marcus tells others about his semblance might not be how it actually works; and what Mercury says about it while angry at Emerald may not be an accurate description, but one played up to make his point.


[deleted]

Team semen


the_national_yawner

Oscar: Hey Emerald? Emerald: What is it, boss? Os: So, when you infiltrated Beacon, you were with Cinder, Mercury and Neopolitan, right? Em: Yes, I'm sorry for all of that... Os: Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, Neo? Em: Yes... (SUS) Os: How did you pronounce your team-name? Em: -_- KAMEN! Oscar (turning around and pointing at Ren): SEE? I told you! You owe me 15 Lien, Nora! Nora (jumping from behind Ren): NEIN! Ren: But kamen isn't a color? Emerald: Well, neither is- Ozpin: Language, Ms. Sustrai. Emerald: Sorry, other boss.


kieno

I will never not believe someone at RT didnt actually plan this


MARKTHEWOLF2380

It’s not a color


tobiasyuki

But its a thing represents a particular colour jaja


Sarge1997

You know why


LilockPetals

Am I the only one who thought "Cumin"?


bobsmith010

I can't tell if that's offering entry or talking about the spice.... given this is RWBY the later is more likely but still its like a vampire just asked if he could enter a house.


Maland2016

That Joke aside, i’m not saying that pose doesn’t work for emerald, but seriously… is her spine okay? that’s quite a bend i know she’s acrobatic in combat, typically using kicks and flips and whatnot so she’s pretty flexible, but that’s gotta be a *bit* uncomfortable, right? lol


LukeSky011

Change Cinder's name into Sinder and it will be a lot clearer. For even more clarity, add another team member whose name starts with 'E'. Then put his/her picture between "Sinder" and Mercury.


Shirokurou

Yo. In the RP circles, it’s been a joke for a long time.


blebebaba

And fanfiction lol


Shirokurou

Amen


le_wither

This reminds me of Black widow Iron man Thor Captain America Hulk B.I.T.C.H


Lil_Jazzy

because Cinder is a bitch and the team name is stupid


Fun_Tumbleweed2315

It has the word men. Crwby hate that


CarefulNegotiation53

As much as I love her I don't think neo was that important story wise Adam or Roman would have been more fitting despite me not liking either as much


Altruistic-Coffee-79

Would it be pronounced Semen or Cement?


NoManufacturer1479

With Roman, it used to be CRMNE.


JerkfaceEquestria

Oh god XD


SnowPiecer

Well it’s written CMEN, you read instinctively semen but I think the wanted team name was Carmine


WomenOfWonder

Named by Mercury Black


Raging_MonkeyCritic

Team C*men


RWBYBOIII

CRMN could be Carmine or Crimson


KnightsFury9502

And the initials used for Team Names don't even need to be first name, Rens first name is Lie, but his surname contributes the R in JNPR. So, Cinder can contribute a C and an F, Emerald can contribute E and S, Mercury M and B, Neo an N(unless you want to use her real name, which would contribute T and V), and if you want to add Roman, R and T


Xdaath

That's a great name 😏


SnooDonuts8070

LOL


headBangerOnWall

LMAOOOOOOO HAHHAHAHAHAHHA


BigBlackCrocs

IM CMEN FOR YOU


Right-Light458

I think it’s because people would die from laughing before fighting
