Every now and then I remember the epilogue and that Salem immediately went to Vale after leaving Atlas and destroyed it and I'm like. Horrified. Even if it was off-screen. Vale was the first target and nearly lost it all at the Fall of Beacon. They suffered a lot. And then when they're finally recovering-- boom, Salem arrives and destroys it for good. It's horrifying to think about.

Also this means that officially Ruby, Weiss and Yang lost their kingdoms and have no home to go back to. I mean technically Patch was abandoned I think, rather than destroyed, but still. The only RWBY member whose kingdom (yeah I consider Menagerie a kingdom) still is untouched is Blake.

I got tired of there being no map of Vale, so I made my own.

You think the council is dead since Salem destroyed Vale?

Porridge

I just realized something about Yang Xiao Long’s character arc, which references the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In the story, the first thing Goldilocks did when entering the Three Bears’ house was try their porridge. The papa bear’s porridge was too hot. The mama bear’s bowl was too cold. But the baby bear’s porridge was juuust riiight.

Now, look at Yang’s experiences.

In Vale, where her dad lived, Yang was the epitome of passion. She was open with her affections, but also had a fearsome temper. She was too hot.

When she goes after Ruby and has an encounter with mom, Yang’s trying to keep her emotions under control. She’s trying to play it cool. While she has her moment, she’s becoming a bit too cold.

I wonder what will happen to her to make Yang juuust riiight?

How many citizens of Vale you think survived Salem.
