Ruby is a rare type of protagonist
This is gonna be long, you’ve been warned!
I am a grown ass adult woman. I like female protagonists, I prefer watching them and relating to them, and always have.
I’ve watched a lot of animes since my teenage years, upwards of 400 last I counted on MyAnimeList a few years ago. I’ve been to Tokyo - twice - and spent at least 20 hours scouring the anime stores of Akihabara. I paid the Japanese mailing service to send a Saber figurine back to my home country since it was too big to bring in my luggage. (This one!)
Why does this matter and what does it have to do with Ruby? Read on:

penny discourse is just V8's version of Adam and Clover discourse
I'm seeing so many terrible takes, I wish I could block the tag like I did with Clover and Adam but I unlike them I genuinely love Penny and still wanna see fanart so I guess I just gotta suffer through it.
headcanon/prediction:
sometime in the future Ren will look through his semblance at Yang and Blake interacting and go “o h”
RWBY X MAJOR ARCANA
Your number eight song on your 2020 Spotify wrapped is the song that plays in the background of your umbrella academy fight scene
uh...
I'm still wondering if Yang's irises being dark lilac instead of black has any significance
yang just saw purple on some random item and immediately thought of Blake lol
why are y'all so confused about the fact that Nuts&Dolts can be canon? anyone remember that chibi episode with fireflies? no? just me?
THAT Grimm: *exists*
everyone watching the episode, without exceptions: what the FUCK
The aesthetic of the Villain video is just something else holy damn 😳
I have this ask in my inbox written by a very excited person... but I can't answer it because I don't have much to say and it's making me sad, and it's been in there for a long time now, a few months probably
anon if somehow you're reading this I'm so sorry but my mind is blank
that explains why Akali went full-on cave man speech in the beginning of MORE
The idea that Ironwood is loosing his humanity because he has a prosthetic is steeped in ableism. If anything the decision shows just how human Ironwood is. He cares so much and is so afraid he, like many other people trapped by a limb in a deadly situation, choose to cut it off to survive.
yeah I know, I'm against that idea, not only is it ableist (aaand rooted in that trope/stereotype that should die), but also directly contradicts the show and source material for Ironwood's allusion. I agree that Ironwood is human and therefore flawed, but I still condemn his decisions, and since this ask sounds somewhat like defence of his actions, here's my opinion/analysis:
The fact that he chose to cut off a limb really represents the way he treats Mantle. Degloving himself was unnecessary, he could've found another way to get out, still he chose the one that does the most damage and also looks like a "heroic" sacrifice. Amputating that arm is also unnecessary and destructive, he basically forces himself to be perfect by immediately removing every weakness in the most damaging way possible. And while he can do whatever he wants with his own body, this whole thing clearly shows his approach to weakness.
And Mantle is a weakness. Evacuation is the reason they were caught off-guard, it's the reason they're not ready for Salem's attack. And Ironwood, with his terrible mentality, does the same thing he did to his own arm: makes a quick decision with no nuance, decision that he considers hard to make and heroic, but really, it's just his knee-jerk reaction to every situation where he has to make one. He removes the weakness, amputates his arm, abandons Mantle completely. He doesn't consider other options and goes for the most damaging and traumatizing one.
Tin Man kept cutting off his limbs, and Ironwood keeps removing his weaknesses.
But here's the fatal flaw: the people that he's trying so hard to save are inherently a weakness. Where does he draw the line between necessary sacrifice and those who should be saved?
I think he doesn't. If someone doesn't stop him, he'll keep removing his weaknesses, until there aren't any left. Just like Baum's Tin Man.
Hey, a little reminder, since a lot of you say that Ironwood is losing his humanity by replacing parts of himself with metal:
Ironically, Hero actually somewhat makes fun of that:
A closer look at Ironwood's new arm
So it wasn't a glove. This dude actually cut off his arm and replaced it with a robo one.
