More Whiterose Perfection...

I don't know how much more obvious the symbolism and parallels between them can be really.

[honk19]

Here's Blake Belladonna. I know I'm very late to the party, but I recently got around to watching RWBY Ice Queendom and I really enjoyed it. Yang and Blake are my best girls. Will I be watching RWBY? Nope, 3D ain't it ╮(─▽─)╭

[peixotizando]

Completely understand Yang. I to would do anything for this look.

[skyechaser]

My best friend just realized Blake and Yang have matching eyes.

For context, he doesn’t like Bumbleby at all. He sorta ships BlackSun. I’ve been trying to make him see that the bees are happening and have actually been happening in front of our eyes but he refuses. 

So we are watching Ice Queendom some weeks ago and he’s as annoying as ever when Blake and Yang share screen. I love the dude and we have a lot of fun annoying each other so he was just doing the usual. Suddenly he shuts up and pauses the video. He looks at me with something like terror on his eyes and says:

“I don’t know if I just noticed this but do Blake’s and Yang’s eyes match each other?” I looked back at him with sincere joy, thinking of the perfect way to reply to him. Then I found it.

“Monty wasn’t subtle at all was he?”

He turned around and pressed play.

Like No One is Watching 1/5 - An unexpected question

Deciding to take the Nightmare Grimm situation as a warning to treat their training, and bonds seriously, RWBY and JNPR strive to be the best huntsman they can be, but the heart can be a fragile thing, and when Ruby, and Pyrrha overhear Weiss ask Neptune to the dance well, things can happen.

Only time will tell if it'll be for the better or not.

GENTLEMEN and LADIES! We got a canon WR hug, which makes this week...kinda gay

Ruby has ye olde silver eyes come into play if you were wondering. Weiss is shell shocked and embarrassed a Grimm possessed her then Ruby the cute dolt asks if she’ll be friends. 

Weiss seems pretty pleased about it

Also the 1st thing that happens as soon as Weiss is freed? Ruby asks about Weiss and the dream sends her right to Weiss who asks about Ruby. 

Also to prove i’m not entirely biased there was a cute BB scene too 

Blake is trying to separate herself from her grimm and calls out to Yang specifically for help. 

Then of course WR get gay again with a combo attack 

Blake’s nightmare is defeated with teamwork and bullets not Silver Eyes, which is...very significant imo. 

I know the last episode isn’t out, but so far I’m leaning towards an 8.75 overall. Some weird animation errors, or just wonky animation sometimes. Great music, and a lovely WR story that makes me want more. I’d go more in depth but meh ain’t no one care. I will say that a few things could have been more fleshed out and of course it could always be gayer, but the last episode is called Best Day Ever so maybe we’re getting another food fight and we can get a classic WR scene brought to life in IQ

[powertaco]

It’s food fight time. Best Day Ever...it’s probably the gayest one yet...

The Episode starts with a few minutes of partners bonding. Blake reads smut until Yang badgers her to play a game with her, and Ruby and Weiss both write letters to their family. Weiss’s letter to Winter talks about how Ruby is gonna be a great leader and saved her. Her smile when she writes about Ruby is very...telling. Also very clearly her answer to Ruby in the dream was that yes that can be friends (and eventually girlfriends WR for life)

There’s some interpartner bonding, ie Blake and Weiss which is nice to see when Weiss insists that she cares, that they all care about Blake and that she needs to come to her team when she needs help. 

She and Blake shake hands and Yang instantly is like ok moving on, which I respect the territory patrolling (i jest).

Blake meanwhile forces Yang to read her books. Not sure if it’s the smut series or not but that’s funnier to imagine so I’m going with that.

And we get ANOTHER WR coffee scene. The scene so nice we see it thrice. Although this time it’s Weiss making coffee for Ruby and she remembers how her dolt takes it. 

They are both blushing messes which is so adorable it’s hard to put into words as Awake plays in the background. 

Shion talks about how her semblance evolves and how Nightmares are attracted to those with strong personalities. Yang continuing her reason for being annoys Weiss with this who managed patented Schnee look 12 of suffering at her. 

Nora then dumps on Jaune which is incredible. (He doesn’t have a semblance lol)

Then Renora and WR mess around while BB and Arkos do the same and Ozpin is mysterious and asks to speak with Ruby and Blake separately.  

Ozpin tries to hint at Silver Eyes and Ruby is like “lol can’t remember but friendship is great” (seriously).

The lighting in the scene is a good reflection into Ozpin’s mind, and the current state of Beacon. Ie as Ruby can’t recall the eyes she’s not in so much danger and so Ozpin leans back into the light instead of being shrouded in the darkness. 

The scene lighting continues to be great during Blake’s talk which is really Ozpins way of showing he knows exactly who Blake is, what she did, and came from and being slightly smug about it. 

When he mentions her heritage and past Blake who is ashamed of it is bathed in darkness but then goes back to light. Ozpin then lays his cards, or some of them on the table and really ramps up the interrogation and essentially all but says he knows more than she’s saying and gives her a chance to talk. Blake being Blake doesn’t. 

And again he’s in the Gendo pose in the dark as he does this. Once the moment passes he’s back to being the affable headmaster in the light. 

We get more monochrome bonding as Weiss waited for Blake so she wouldn’t be alone afterward and they have a really great talk about helping make the world a better place with the help of each other and their team.

Weiss is...more of a drama queen than I remember but canon adjacent and all that. We get some sisterly teasing which is cute. 

Sun shows up and is just a great guy. Weiss invites him to hang out and for some reason this confuses Yang, which I honestly don’t get at all, but nothing is perfect. 

Sun says he’ll introduce his team to them and that they’re all super hot. Seriously. 

Weiss then remarks on Pyrrha’s interest in Jaune and says she has weird taste lol. Ruby is like “oh no she really does want to be on Pyrrha’s team, and Weiss gets all upset cause she thinks Ruby is. Then Yang suggest they trade Weiss and Ruby says that Weiss can’t ever get back on the team even if she begs. Then they look like they’re about to kiss and Yang seems pretty amused by it before they all start laughing. 

Rwby take a group phot and then we cut to a very...excited Pyrrha helping Jaune train and cheer him on. 

Renora remain pure and I love them, and Nora says that Ren is the strongest one of them before they agree to look out for each other and hold hands. Like some sort of cute couple or something. 

We get this scene and Ruby calls her Weiss and Weiss is of course upset she didn’t refer to her as girlfriend or wife but hey she’s learning. 

Yang makes a pun so bad literally no one gives her a pity laugh even as she makes it several times until Nora clocks her with an apple, which is the only real response. 

Weiss asks if Ruby stole her binder, and Ruby assures her she just added a fun plan to it. 

The food fight happens and there’s some interesting stuff going on. WR save each other several times which is cute. We don’t get the don’t leave me scene cause the fight goes differently and no one really loses or “dies”

and ends on this scene:

It’s a strange ending and a little anticlimactic, but overall it’s pretty gay. The first few minutes are very very gay for WR with some sprinkled in the rest of the episode.
