Yoooo I'm rewatching rwby to get some clips and I just noticed how Qrow shifts his thumb to cover Raven's face.

I have no idea what comic this is, but why is he a twink? What happened to my fat hairy Ted Kord? That twink on my screen looks like he doesn’t even have a single hair on that chest 😭

Okayy I just binged the entirety of season 2 of Great Pretender and I have to rant to get this outta my system so

!!!SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 (EP15-23) OF GREAT PRETENDER!!

So I love how the art style and music has been consistent the whole time, its gorgeous and obviously a lot of effort has been put into it. Every case focused on the backstory of each member in Team Confidence so I liked how in the fourth case, it was about both Laurent and Makoto, showing that they are inherently connected. Thought that was pretty interesting.

The plot was very entertaining as usual, many scenes had me on the edge of my chair lol. It was a fun thing to watch, and the ending felt somewhat satisfying!

Buuuuuuuuut there are stuff that I dont really like,,,, like how Makoto got roped into doing cons with Laurent in the first place essentially just to get revenge on this one dude. And he got yanked back over and over again, despite how many times he wanted to live a normal life. Yeah the cons had good intentions, bringing down bad guys and wtv (I'll get back to that in a sec) but no one deserves to be forced into such dangerous situations!

At first I thought it was cause Laurent really, really liked Makoto but it turns out he was basically just using him in a really long con against Liu. And he was kept 100% in the dark about it, when it had to do w him personally (his dad). Not only that, I think everything that Makoto said in the scene where he was pretending to betray them was really valid!!

He was subjected to extremely traumatic experiences (seeing his friends get killed and not knowing it was faked TWICE, having his father "betray" him, held at gunpoint god knows how many times, "killed" his father, witnessed horrendous crimes, the list can go on forever). He literally broke down into a depressive state! And suddenly his own father who Makoto thought he killed appears and go 'haha sike nah fam *everything* was just a con', while revealing that Makoto was undercover for months when he didn't even know he was undercover. They didn't trust him with this information, why the fuck would he trust them?? I think it would've been so much more understandable and cathartic!!!!

And what the fuck was up with that scene were the villains of the former season pop up and become the good guys?!!! Are you serious??? Was the audience supposed to go 'oh neat cameo'?? How are you going to say that Team Confidence brought the bad guys to justice when A) They basically got away scot-free with no repercussions B) Are still living their lavish lifestyles and C) Didn't get their deserved punishments and became the 'good guys'?????? What was the point of the former season, besides resolving Cynthia's and Abbie's trauma? UGH It was just such a terrible move!!

Also, I dont think having the plot twist where Dorothy survived with amnesia was a good idea. It kinda nullifies the whole revenge plot and etc (I mean the idea is still there since Liu did 'kill' but wtv). And there was whole sub plot of Laurent moving on from Doronthy. He was literally haunted by visions of her- the scene where he throws her ring into the sea shows him finally taking a step away from his trauma. So having Dorothy go 'surprise bitch I lived' feels cheap and cliche.

But Great Pretender is still a seriously good show and I love it ♡

Noticed some parallels between Ozma/Salem and Clover/Qrow. SPOILERS FOR VOL 7 EP 12

These two pictures are from Volume 6 and 7 respectfully. They show two leaders standing tall in the center but Oz is shown to be alone (as all his past incarnates fade away) and Clover is shown to be surrounded by allies (as the rest of his team enter the frame later). They both do show the burden of being a leader.

Here is Ozma fighting Salem and Clover fighting Qrow. Ozma and Clover have green auras, and Salem and Qrow have red auras. Note how the framing is exactly the same, and they are standing in their respective auras. Two allies (and lovers if CRWBY sucked it up and made fair game canon) turned against each other.

Third set is when Ozma was bleeding out and Clover was also bleeding out. Self explanatory. They both show the Green Auras (as I have dubbed) in their vulnerable moments.

These show Qrow holding Clover while he dies, and Salem staring at a statue of Ozma in the volume 6 opening. They both have very similar color scheme and both are essentially commemorating a lost loved one (Ozma originally died of a disease), as well as a far-away shot to evoke a sense of longing and loneliness.

Here are a close up shot of the plush toy of Oz and Salem's daughter, Clover's pin. Both are harsh and quiet reminders of an unwitting sacrifice and regret- of irreversible mistakes that were made.

Other parallels to note

Ozma was killed directly by Salem and Clover was killed by Harbinger

Ozma died trying to obey the will of the Brother of Light and Clover died trying to follow Ironwood's orders

Both Ozma and Clover were soldiers

Salem/Ozma and Qrow/Clover were partners in crime

Salem and Qrow were seen as cursed (Salem being the wicked witch and Qrow being the bad luck charm) but their respective companions saw past that

Salem and Qrow fell victim to their vices. Salem with her cruelty and selfishness towards humanity, and Qrow with alcohol

During Volume 7, truth and deceit was a big theme. The scene where Clover lied to Robyn (who is literally a lie detector) stuck out to me. This could parallel to Ozpin, who had told lies before.

The weapons of Clover and Oz are designed to be more defensive than offensive.

The two tale end in a happily never after, with Oz and Clover dying. But maybe, that might change in Volume 8? (Pleass CRWBY I'm begging you)

Feel free to add more!!!!! There are so many parallels in the relationships in RWBY
