v10: ruby tries to get an ssri prescription
i ike to think ruby is clearly autistic to everyone else but undiagnosed and has gone down the mental route of “this something uniquely me and a personal flaw i must get over” so hasnt discussed it beyond like the surface level problems with making friends and such she discusses in the first season.
so anyways when weiss decides “i gotta be the best teammate ever” shes smart enough to have picked up rubys autistic traits when it comes to socializing (she hasnt really realized the traits outside socialization related ones but its only been a couple days give her time) and is like “ok. so ruby has autism. to fulfill my best teammate promise i must research how to communicate properly to someone with autism”. she doesnt want to let the others in on this because of pride reasons and eventually the little tweaks in her behavior are second nature. and with all the bullshit, she forgets about researching this on her own and just kind of accepts it as something ruby just is.
so eventually they get to atlas and ruby complains about the bright lights and just how blinding it is. and weiss just goes “oh that makes sense since youre autistic” and rubys like “no im not???”. WBYJNR are all confusedly going “yeah you are???” and just list off her autistic traits. and then ruby has a slight crisis for the next 24 hours
the group therapy sessions for team rwby would be fucking crazy
do yall think oobleck not asking ruby why she wanted to be a huntress was foreshadowing
this scene is the base for how i see rubys views on leadership and it drives me crazy every time i think about it. cause it starts so fucking early, before anything big even happens. and maybe the first time you see her say this youre ok with this, like yeah i guess thats what a leader should do. and then you watch the next 8 volumes going “oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oH NO OH NO-“
ughhh ruby thoughts head full!!!
ive been listening to too many songs and thinking “ruby” i need to make a playlist
listening to puptheband and thinking of ruby. which should be considered self inflicted torture
