RWBY deserves more love and we’re diving deep into why! 🐺🔥
Our latest video explores the incredible lore of RWBY and why this show absolutely deserves its comeback. Whether you're a long-time fan or totally new to the series, now’s the time to jump in.
Check it out!
I know the volume songs aren’t normally from any character in particular but this really feels like a Salem song. Also, these string of verses sums up politics and politicians in a nutshell.
My thoughts and opinions on Chapter 6 of RWBY Volume 7, "A Night Off"
SPOILERS BELOW:
Someone in the RWBY tag pointed out that amongst the arrested rioters and people waiting in line to vote were some of Jaune's "Thirsty Moms" (or at least, the same generic model). Keep this in mind, we'll be swinging back to something else they pointed out later.
You know, I'm suddenly very curious as to whom this "Ivy Brown" candidate is. Were they the council member getting replaced? Are they just a third part candidate that no one cares about because unfortunately politics are bipartisan like that? Sadly, I doubt we will ever know.
More Danger Room training, whoo!
The Knight has decided to multi-class as a ninja. Very sneaky, Weiss.
I am now having flashbacks to gym class dodgeball. God, that game was fun.
During my first viewing, I made a point to rewind and make sure that Oscar's scroll showed Jaune's Aura go down after Nora accidentally slammed him into the ground. I am happy to report that it did.
I'm glad we're finally talking about what Ruby's "split into three clusters" trick is. I mean, for now all we're saying is "What's that?" "I dunno", but hey, I'll take it.
I really want to know what Ren was doing in his zen space before Ironwood walked in.
Hmm, Nora seems reeeaaally invested in Ironwood helping out Mantle and working with Robyn. Interesting...
I don't know why, but I always found it heartwarming when the authority figure "orders" relaxation and such. It's always used as such a nice gesture.
Blake doing her makeup reminds me of the "Girls Night Out" Chibi skit. I can still feel the flames...
We now have an official Bumbleby dance! And it's adorable!
It says quite a lot when out of all the options presented to her, Weiss decides that hanging out with Jaune and Oscar is the best option. I mean, the other choices were a political rally and playing third wheel to the bees, but still.
Ooh, Ruby caught the ambiguity of Jinn's "How do I destroy Salem?" question. Very good.
Ok, seriously, what is up with the Renora tension lately? And why is Ren super intent on training. Share with us your thoughts, our precious ninja boy!
Wow, this song does NOT sound like a Jeff Williams song. Hell, that doesn't even sound like Jeff singing. Is...is that Nathan Sharp?
Ok, major wow. Not only did they just have somebody in universe infer that Blake and Yang are more than "just friends", but using them to give us a proper Renora conversation? My gawd, the writing for this episode is amazing!
"Please don't leave me, Penny! I don't like it when Mom and Dad fight!"
That fist bump was everything I didn't know I needed out of a Nuts and Dolts interaction.
I feel like they're trying to paint Robyn as a shifty grey area character, but by gawd I can't help but love everything about her. She seems to be the right kind of grey to me, the kind that wants what is right and isn't afraid to bend unfair rules that might get in the way of that.
"Everything I've done is legal." Is there anyone in the entirety of Solitas that believes that? I mean, we all know who she's based on, right?
Ok, so Fiona is definitely the cute one. Got it.
It did not escape my notice throughout this party that as the night went on, Jacques's numbers started getting higher, and higher....and higher....
For someone that isn't good with public speaking, Robyn can deliver a pretty good speech.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, WE HAVE A RENORA KISS! I REPEAT, WE HAVE A RENORA KISS! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! 7 FUCKING VOLUMES AND WE CAN FINALLY SAY THAT THIS! IS! HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must say, it's nice to finally get a kiss in this show that isn't a kiss goodbye...
You know, the fact that something that good was happening really should have been a sign.
I'm not gonna lie, this whole sequence was so good, it was almost uncomfortable. The screaming, the confusion, the fear, it was very reminiscent of how things really go during these kind of events.
So Tyrian's semblance allows him to cancel out Aura? Is that why he found Jaune to be so interesting in Volume 4? Because their semblance's could counteract each other (not sure how Tyrian would have figure that out back then, but whatever).
So yeah, remember me mentioning the tidbit about the Thirsty Mom's I found earlier? They're among the dead bodies. Have fun with that.
I don't know exactly what's going to happen now that Jacques has "won" the election, but lord knows it can't be good.
I completely forgot that Tyrian had introduced himself to Team RNJR when they first met. Hearing Ruby say his name was for some reason so...weird.
Watts, I say this truly from the deepest depths of my soul: For what you are doing to Penny, I truly hate you.
Oh god! Ruby tries to reach out to Penny, only to realize she has Fiona's blood on her hands! Is there anything else you want to throw at us, CRWBY!?
You know, I don't think you can get more poignant that Jacques giving a jovial victory speech over the image of Mantle being swarmed by Grimm.
Jesus. H. Christ. I'm not much of a drinker, but after that, I think I might want to see what all the hype is about. Gonna need something after all of that.
Why I don’t like Yang keeping the identity of the Spring Maiden to herself.
Very opinionated piece and could change in future episodes.
In this I discuss why I don’t like Yang’s secrecy regarding Raven being the Spring Maiden.
Okay, so we have it on Ozpin’s word that the reason they’re going to Atlas with the relic (or at least part of the reason) is that they can’t reseal the relic back in its vault because they don’t even know who the Spring Maiden is, let alone WHERE she is. The power could have transferred for all they know because they don’t know that *le gasp* that Raven is the real maiden.
Now, I am highly aware of how Ozpin drops lies like they’re hot but I don’t think he has a reason to lie about that lil detail. Even if he did lie about it, we’re going to labor under the assumption he did not. Please bear with me.
Yang keeping Raven’s maiden identity to herself effectively cuts off one of their potential options to pursue Raven and ask her to seal the relic back in the vault. Whether or not she would is up for debate, but if she did agree, they wouldn’t be forced to carry a vulnerable, highly powerful Grimm magnet the vast distance to Atlas. Yes, Oz should have told them about the Grimm magnet properties of the relic, but maybe they wouldn’t have had to take the relic to Atlas with them if they knew they had a potential other option.
And it’s not like they wouldn’t entirely know where Raven is. The last living people she can portal to are Yang, who was in the vault with her, and... Tai. Yang KNOWS this, so with this info they could easily deduce where Raven went and if not pinpoint her exact location, then at least have a general idea of where she was.
I dunno. This is hard because I can type this up from an emotionally detached standpoint, but to Yang, Raven is still her mom (shitty mom though she is the red-eyed bitch). Family is still family, even if they hurt you. I can understand why she didn’t tell, especially after such an emotionally-charged encounter with Raven down in the vault.
