RWBY VOLUME 9 EP 6 SPOILERS
OKAY THE BEES KISSED ?? THANK CRWBY THANK YOU SO MUCH?? Casey Williams, the song was so perfect I cannot wait to download it and it was just beautiful! Barbara and Arryn are always delivering. I always had a feeling Blake was more reassured in her feelings towards Yang and Yang was aware of her feelings for Blake, but was kind of afraid of either rejection or abandonment. At the bridge, Blake was fully aware of Yang’s feelings for her. She just wanted her to say it. And they did, together. I love the animation team, the way they blushed, the way Yang’s eyes shined when Blake spoke. They’re in love, and I’m glad they’re both growing as individuals and now, together.
Back to everyone else… I’m so confused!
So we know that Jaune fell last, but because he picked up the clock fruit, it was in reverse order? Jaune fell, then Alyx and Luis, then Neo, Weiss, Ruby, Blake, Yang? I’m still a little confused on the aging and storyline here, but it will all be revealed soon enough I’m sure.
My question is: how did the siblings even get to Ever After? Did they fall in that same space the main characters did or is there another way to fall? I might need to rewatch the episode again in case I missed something.
I also think this episode made me question both Jaune and the cat. I’m not saying they should distrust Jaune, but clearly he has his own story and the Cat has their own as well. I never thought the Cat as “bad”, they’re curious, and while they may have their own agenda, it doesn’t seem like they run on pure malice. Alyx seems to have duped the cat, her brother and Jaune. But like I said, we don’t know the full story, at least, not yet.
But I also don’t want to assume Alyx is “bad” too. She was a kid and she wanted to go home, and maybe there’s more to that, maybe there’s not. I’m hoping that Alyx is still in Ever After and that the gang gets to meet her and see what happened to Luis.
Speaking of Luis, I wonder really how Ascension works, and if anyone in that world knows the whole story. I’ve seen people suspect that Luis was sacrificed to the tree and a person has to be given to the tree for someone else to leave. Maybe Luis did ascend and he returned to Ever After as something else, and was given a role. Maybe Alyx was given a role as well. I don’t want to rule anything out but y’all are geniuses w/ theories and I’m excited to read them.
Two characters I really really want to dive into are Ruby and Neo.
So we know Neo is hellbent on getting Ruby. She was recently betrayed by Cinder and has developed her semblance. What is Neo going to do now? Find Ruby and leave? She seemed to have attacked the Jabberwock and had replicated herself when attacking the gang in the previous episode. I’m just excited to see what happens next and understand WHY Neo, why did she fall? Our heroes all have regrets with what happened in Remnant. Is this the place for them to reevaluate their priorities? For them to redirect themselves?
And Ruby, my poor girl. Part of me was getting worried, seeing how everyone glosses over Ruby’s frustration, but it’s serving its purpose well. Ruby and Crescent Rose have been practically inseparable since she created it. She loves weapons and Crescent Rose is a reminder of her family and her purpose—or at least what she thought her purpose was.
What is to Ruby Rose? When in Jaune’s village, she still doesn’t know. She hesitates to pick up her own weapon. She’s perplexed by it and herself and something is going on in her mind that refuses to let her touch her own weapon. She’s about to go through some intense feelings and it feels like she’s going to lash out soon. With the way Summer Rose keeps appearing in reflections, I wonder if that’s a hint towards her mother being around here or it’s about Ruby separating her dream from the idea of her mother. Either way it’s going to get bad.
- That mouse, Little. There’s no way you’re just a mouse. Right? RIGHT?
- i wonder how that weird place Neo fell will come into place. It has that strange bridge and that has to play a role somehow.
- I want to recircle back to the teapot lady and the blacksmith. Ruby gave her little emblem to the teapot lady and said it carries a mother’s promise. Why did she choose those words? And why did that sway the teapot lady? And who is that blacksmith??
- Jaune and Ruby are such good examples of leaders. Both of them have such heavy expectations of themselves and it’s not like they think they’re alone with carrying this burden, but when something goes wrong, they’re first to blame themselves. If they’re supposed to be the good guys, how did everything get so wrong? Why can’t they stop the bad things from happening? How can they stop them from happening?
