Wait a minute…

Destruction…

Creation…

Knowledge…

CHOICE.

Holy SHIT guys, the Relics were made to represent aspects of the TREE and the process of ASCENSION!

And Ruby went through all four of these.

[rwbylife21]

On the one hand, no Ruby ascension into new form.

On the other hand, HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL I DON’T CARE!

The return of the Team RWBY flowers

"What happens if I choose me?"

"Then maybe that girl is enough."

[rwbylife21]

Food for thought.

Ruby's message to Remnant in Volume 8 that she convinced herself changed nothing...

Actually changed EVERYTHING

[rwbylife21]

the meaning behind this being the last frame of the season. volume nine has always been about guilt and how to work through that, coming off of one of the most devastating volumes in the show, and a big chunk of that guilt for Ruby was not being enough and having failed. but this shot is everything to me.

this shot proves Ruby’s plan worked.

if i told you the most problematic characters in rwby looked like this.

[rwbylife21]

Bumbleby vs Grimm !!!

always the power couple……

[rwbylife21]

Burning the Candle hits again !!!

this got me thinking once again WHAT IF THEY REANIMATED BLAKE AND YANGS SCENE

[rwbylife21]

The If RWBY ship names followed conventional naming conventions polls summary

Whiterose

Unsurprisingly the "winner" (aka the loser) was the one that included a body part.

While the food came third, outpaced by whatever a Wuby is.

Ladybug

Again no real suprise here as the silliest sounding alternative ship name has a hefty lead

Freezerburn

Probably the least surprising result where the two that are euphemisms for penis demolished the competition. (Despite the misspelling Of the 2nd place one I couldn't fix without resetting the poll)

Bumblby

Our actual canon ship and the one with the most voters (nearly double the amount in the Whiterose poll) honestly I expected the sound effect to win but nope. Doubly surprised by Bellong ending up in second as we all know they Bellong together (budum)

Blacksun

The lowest engagement poll simultaneously has the highest percentage of votes for the leader and the biggest gap between 1st and second

So overall I believe I speak for everyone when I say thank goodness that the FNDM is more creative with its ship names and hopefully that creativity spreads into other fandoms in the future

[rwbylife21]

YEAH I'M SAT

[rwbylife21]

i mean of COURSE bumbleby was planned from day one. how could it not have been? it's so obvious once you think about it. their eyes, their opposite semblances and personalities, black the beast and yellow beauty, the parallels between adam and yang, even just how they met and how blake chose yang as her partner. every single thing. they were always written to be together. they're literally soulmates. "bumbleby is forced" eat my shorts

[rwbylife21]

This cat has never seen the real Ruby. Never experienced her full of confident strength instead of self-doubt.

They never stood a chance underestimating her.

And that smirk!

I love it when Ruby is so sure of herself.

[rwbylife21]

If the theory that Summer got captured and turned into a Hound by Salem when her final mission went wrong and Raven had to put her out of her misery were true that would make these lines hit so different 🫠

Like I can literally picture the reveal going like this in an almost exact parallel to this scene….

Either way Raven’s apology here was as much directed to Summer as it was to Yang and you can’t change my mind.

[rwbylife21]

V9 is the first volume since V4 that Ruby hasn’t used her silver eyes - and yet, it’s the volume that emphasized them the most. 

 the opening

the silver light transitions

summer’s eyes

the wood cracking on ruby’s eyes

the explosion of silver light

the silver shine of her emblem

the focus on her eyes after she breaks free

Silver eyes are powered by love. Self-love is love, too.
