FRIEND

Darkness like midnight Moonless there’s no light Another lonely day is ending

Searching forever Waiting but never finding The only thing i dream of

The warmth of a smile That stays for a while The face of a friend That won’t leave

I heard a song once It posed this point of view That wishes made on stars Are likely to come true

So here’s my secret At bedtime every night I searched the sky And hoped to find A star who’d send a light to me

The one thing I need Just one kind soul With a heart of gold

Then my dreams became real And I finally feel not alone

Do hugs always make you feel this warm?

My wish came true The day that you appeared And called me friend An answered prayer A chance to share the world To be a girl who fin'lly felt alive

I’m so excited We’ll do so many friendship things Paint our nails Try on clothes Talk about cute boys

Attached but not by strings

And when you’ve got problems Woah! Then I’ve got problems too You’ll never face this world alone I’ll be right here it’s you and me Protectors of each other’s what we’ll be You saw my soul Through the nuts and bolts

You’re the friend i can trust Helped me see i’m not just a machine

And is this what “all the feels” means?

I’ve been combat-ready since the day dad made me Now I’ll fight for something more This might sound wholesome but strangely I’ve got friends I’m fighting for

But I found that humanity It came with sacrifice, a pact To shield you from the wicked even if I can’t Live for real, it was worth it to know you

My wish came true The day that you appeared And called me friend An answered prayer A chance to share the world To be a girl who fin'lly felt alive

The one about the girl,

Can we talk about how much sense it makes for Yang to be worried about Blake thinking less of her, though? Blake has always been a big picture person, focussed on important causes and overall goals. But Yang isn't. Yang is the opposite; she tends to prioritise personal objectives and helping individuals instead. That's why they're in separate groups this Volume, with Blake wanting to reunite the world while Yang wants to help the people around them first.

And this has always been there! All the way back in Volume 2 we see them talk about this exact thing, with Yang admiring Blake's drive and that she doesn't back down from a challenge. But we also saw Yang's concern over it.

Yang's always considered herself directionless, and it's clearly something that's bothered her a lot. Combined with her abandonment issues, it makes perfect sense that she'd be afraid that Blake will eventually get bored of her because of this. Blake was an activist from when she was a kid, and left home to stay in the White Fang when she was only just a teenager. To Yang, it probably feels like Blake has achieved an awful lot in her life already while Yang still isn't sure of her own path.

In Volume 7, Yang seemed concerned too when she realised that Blake didn't agree with her about the best course of action. But they easily reached a compromise they were both happy with, which is what shows that Yang is wrong about this. Her and Blake's different priorities are actually one of the reasons they make a fantastic couple. Together they form a complete picture, and bring out the best in each other by balancing each other out. Which Yang will eventually come to realise.

Blake was literally drawn to Yang mostly because Yang has such a big heart and values interpersonal connections over the big picture. The thing that Yang is worried will drive them apart is really what brought them together in the first place.

“Will she think less of me” is such a specific expression, and it tells us a lot about Yang and her relationship with Blake. In the past, Yang has worried: 1) that Blake didn’t trust her (volume 3) ; 2) that Blake didn’t care for Yang as much as Yang does for her (volume 5) ; and 3) that Blake didn’t understand Yang and what Yang needs from her (volume 6). 

It’s always been about Blake’s feelings towards Yang though. This latest instance is different, in that Yang wonders what Blake thinks. It’s a facet of Yang we’ve never seemed before: Yang has never been concerned about what other people think of her. But she certainly cares about Blake’s opinion, and she’s self-conscious about it, which is fascinating to me.

Yang has grown into her own these past volumes, but here I think we’re touching on a newfound, deeper insecurity: she’s found herself, she’s found her purpose, but what if that person is not enough? Yang isn’t like Blake, who thinks about the big picture, the state of the world, systems of oppression and civil rights movements. Blake, a political activist, a leader of her people. 

Yang is smart, and strong, and a skilled Huntress, but what if Blake needs more from her? What if she finds her wanting? Will she think less of Yang, if their priorities don’t always align, and Yang chooses the more practical, immediate course of action? Will she think less of Yang, if Yang is a Huntress first, and not someone whose goal is to change the whole damn world?

Of course Blake doesn’t think less of her at all - but it makes so much sense, given where they both are in their personal journeys, given that they’re closer than ever before but haven’t explicitly labelled their relationship, that Yang would harbor these very realistic concerns. I hope we get to see them talk about all of this soon - it will be a pivotal conversation.
